Practice Areas
Employment-Based Nonimmigrant Visas
Employment-based nonimmigrant visas provide a structured pathway for employers to access highly skilled international talent while maintaining compliance with U.S. immigration regulations. These visa categories allow organizations to meet immediate workforce needs while supporting longer-term planning for retention and potential permanent residence.
At Salvetti Law Group, we advise employers and professionals on visa strategies that are not only compliant, but thoughtfully aligned with broader business objectives and career trajectories. Each case is approached with careful attention to timing, eligibility, and overall positioning, ensuring that short-term authorization supports long-term success.
We regularly work with healthcare organizations, academic institutions, and professional employers navigating the complexities of hiring and retaining global talent. This includes coordinating with internal teams, anticipating regulatory challenges, and structuring filings in a way that supports both operational needs and future immigration pathways.
Key Visa Pathways
H-1B – Specialty Occupation
The H-1B visa allows employers to hire foreign professionals in roles that require specialized knowledge and a bachelor’s degree or higher in a specific field.
These cases often involve strict timelines, annual cap considerations, and detailed documentation requirements. We guide employers through the full process, from initial planning and registration through petition filing and long-term strategy, including extensions and transition to permanent residence when appropriate.
O-1 – Extraordinary Ability
The O-1 visa is designed for individuals who demonstrate a high level of achievement in their field, including medicine, research, business, and other specialized areas.
These petitions require a carefully constructed narrative supported by strong evidence. We work closely with clients to develop well-positioned cases that clearly present their accomplishments and meet the high evidentiary standards required for approval.
L-1 – Intracompany Transfers
The L-1 visa allows multinational organizations to transfer executives, managers, and specialized knowledge employees to a U.S. entity.
We assist companies in structuring L-1 petitions that align with corporate operations, including new office petitions, while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and supporting long-term organizational growth in the United States.
TN Visas
TN visas are available to qualified Canadian and Mexican professionals under treaty provisions and offer a streamlined option for certain occupations. We advise both employers and professionals on eligibility, documentation, and renewal strategies to ensure continuity and compliance.
A Strategic Approach
Permanent residence is often the result of multiple coordinated steps over time. The choices made early in the process can significantly impact long-term outcomes.
Our role is to provide clear, strategic guidance at each stage, ensuring that every decision supports both immediate needs and future opportunities. With a focus on precision, structure, and thoughtful planning, we help our clients move forward with confidence.
