The Immigration Practice Group at Gunster Yoakley
Today, business, recruitment and hiring are global. The seamless transfer of international personnel and the hiring of foreign professionals from abroad are essential for employers. Whether you are the human resources manager of a multinational company transferring an executive from abroad, or need to hire a U.S. college graduate who has a student visa, complying with immigration laws can be a daunting task. It is necessary to have skilled counsel who can navigate the complicated procedures, backlogs and constant changes that are commonplace in the politically charged immigration arena.
The Immigration Practice Group at Gunster Yoakley guides corporate human resources managers through the maze of regulatory requirements for the transfer and hire of foreign personnel. In addition to processing all types of business-related visas, we provide customized in-house training programs on the immigration aspects of recruitment of personnel from abroad and compliance with I-9 employment eligibility issues. We also advise international investors on strategies to live or work in the United States while maximizing their business advantages. Our goal is to make the immigration process "user-friendly" and to develop long-term relationships with each client.
"Immigration is a mystery and a mastery of obfuscation, and the lawyers who can figure it out are worth their weight in gold." Karen Kraushaar, INS Spokesperson |
