Business Immigration Attorneys | H-1B, L-1, O-1, EB-1

Parikh & Prasad, PC helps employers and foreign professionals navigate the full range of U.S. employment-based immigration — from temporary work visas to permanent residence through extraordinary-ability petitions.

Temporary Work Visas

We regularly prepare and file nonimmigrant work petitions including the H-1B specialty occupation visa, L-1A and L-1B intracompany transferee visas for executives, managers, and specialized-knowledge employees, the O-1 visa for individuals of extraordinary ability, the TN visa for Canadian and Mexican professionals under the USMCA, the E-3 visa for Australian specialty occupation workers, and J-1 exchange visitor matters.

Our firm represents both established companies — including pharmaceutical, healthcare, technology, and dental organizations — and individual professionals, managing every stage from the labor condition application through petition filing and requests for evidence.

Employment-Based Permanent Residence

For employees seeking a green card, we handle EB-1A extraordinary ability self-petitions, EB-1B outstanding researcher and professor petitions, and EB-1C multinational manager and executive petitions. We coordinate these filings with adjustment of status or consular processing as appropriate.

Where a position requires labor certification, we manage the PERM process end to end and pair it with the I-140 immigrant petition.

How We Work

Every client works directly with an attorney. We assess eligibility candidly, identify the strongest available category, and build a documented, well-supported petition designed to withstand scrutiny. For corporate clients, we provide predictable timelines and clear communication throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an H-1B visa?

The H-1B is a nonimmigrant work visa that allows U.S. employers to hire foreign professionals in specialty occupations that typically require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. It is subject to an annual cap and a registration and selection process.

How long does the H-1B process take?

Timelines vary by filing window and service center workload. Premium processing can yield a decision within about 15 business days of the petition being accepted; regular processing can take several months. We advise on the current options at the time of filing.

What is the difference between L-1A and L-1B?

The L-1A is for executives and managers transferring to a U.S. office of a related company, while the L-1B is for employees with specialized knowledge. L-1A holders may have a path to an EB-1C multinational manager green card.

Can an employee self-petition for a green card?

Yes. The EB-1A extraordinary ability and EB-2 National Interest Waiver categories allow qualifying individuals to petition for themselves without an employer sponsor. We evaluate whether your achievements meet the demanding evidentiary standards.
