O-1A for a Corporate CEO
Our client seemed to have it all. He was the CEO of a very successful company and was well known throughout the industry as a corporate mogul. From his PhD to his numerous international awards, the client was well suited for the O-1A. He had even written chapters in well-known books as well as articles in professional publications.
It seemed like a dream case, but the USCIS is not lenient when it comes to these qualifications. It’s not enough to simply present the evidence, you need to argue why each item qualifies the individual.
L-1A Approved for New Office After Technical Difficulties
Our client approached us with the desire to open a new office for a large overseas agricultural company right here in South Florida. Having decided that the L-1A visa was the best way to go, he came to us for help with filing.
However, establishing an L-1A new office is rarely easy, as it requires the applicant to show that he or she has substantial capital and physical premises in order to sustain the new office. You should also present a business plan to show that you are in a position to grow the office and create more jobs in the U.S.
Getting an H-3 Visa After a Complicated RFE
At SGM Law Group, we see people from all kinds of situations and backgrounds come through our office doors. Thanks to our dedicated and skilled attorneys, most people walk out of those doors with smiles on their faces and visas in their hands. While we usually deal with employment-based visas, we also often have more complicated immigration situations come our way. For an architect who received an H3 visa RFE, this was one of those cases.
H1B Extension Approved for a Computer Systems Analyst
When you see as many H1B cases as we do here at our offices, you begin to realize that it can be more difficult to gain approval for certain specialty positions over others. When a client came to our office needing an H1B extension for a computer systems analyst, we weren’t their first choice, but we were the only ones who would rise to the challenge.

Meeting The EB-1 Green Card Requirements in a Complex Field
For those who are unfamiliar with the green card levels, the EB-1 is the most difficult to obtain. As if that weren’t enough, the EB-1 category is broken down into three subcategories: the EB-1A, EB-1B, and EB-1C. Needless to say, they are in order of rarity and prestige, making the EB-1A the most difficult green card available. Fortunately, it’s nothing that our experienced attorneys haven’t seen before.
