An H-1B is a temporary, nonimmigrant visa issued to foreign nationals in specialized fields that typically require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in experience and skills. This visa is mainly used by professionals in the IT, financial, engineering, and medical fields. The annual H-1B cap is 85,000 visas, with 65,000 allocated for bachelor’s degree holders and 20,000 for those with advanced degrees. H-1B visas are initially valid for three years but can be extended for up to six years. Since they are dual-intent visas, holders may pursue permanent residency while maintaining H-1B status. Spouses and children under 21 can also obtain H-4 visas as dependents of the H-1B holder.

Saman is the best imigration lawyer in South Florida. My case was over a decade old and I've had 3 lawyers before her. The level of preparation and effort she put into my case was a blessing for me. Without her I would've never had my case approved! My previous lawyer told me that my case had no chance to be won and I almost had lost my hopes but when I met Saman she gave me hope again and told me that we can win and we did! It took us 4 years but she made it happen! She is very realistic, she kept me grounded and gave me navigation through all the steps of the process and also with her positive attitude she gave me strength to go though this nightmare! What can I say but that I owe her my life and that she is the best in her bussines! THANK YOU SAMAN!

I was attended by Ms Chavez, paralegal and US ILC staff member,The interview was conducted in Spanish though I was able to speak english. This is a must for non-english native speakers.The interview was quite comprehensive, they gather tons of information from you in order to prepare the case in the best possible way. I'm still pending to have the interview but, based on their initial approach and case setup, being myself an attorney as well, I would definitely recommend US ILC as a go-to firm for your immigration needs. I cannot talk yet about prices because (1) I haven't been quoted and (2) it largely depends on each case, there is no standard fee for a wide variety of immigration issues, no case is similar to previous one. But, overall, I'm satified with the service provided by Ms Chavez and US ILC so far. I can recommend them for sure
