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.

I highly recommend U.S. Immigration Law Counsel for anyone needing help with a marriage-based green card application. My experience with the firm was exceptional from start to finish and their team made a process that can feel stressful and overwhelming much more organized and manageable.
Attorney Natalia did an excellent job preparing my spouse and me for our interview. She took the time to make sure we understood what to expect, helped us feel confident and was present with us at the interview. Having her there gave us a great deal of comfort and reassurance because we felt well prepared and supported throughout the process.
Arantxa and Sol were also outstanding in helping us gather, organize, and submit all the required documents. They were thorough, professional and attentive to detail. They made sure we did not overlook any important paperwork and kept everything organized from beginning to end.
Overall, we were extremely happy with the service, communication and support we received from the firm. The entire team was knowledgeable, caring and professional. We truly appreciate everything they did for us and would confidently recommend them to anyone seeking immigration assistance.

I would like to thank Saman and her team for supporting me throughout my immigration journey. Despite what was a long and stressful process, I always felt reassured and in good hands knowing I had such a dedicated legal team representing me.
They were communicative, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. Laura, my paralegal, was always on top of my case and incredibly diligent. She would even call me often to make sure I didn’t have any questions or concerns, always with such a positive and caring attitude.
They are the best!

To God be ALL the glory! 🙏🏼❤️
There were so many immigration attorneys to choose from, and I prayed and asked God to guide me to the right attorney for my husband’s case. I called three different offices, but when I called this office, I felt God tell me, “This is the one.”
My husband was picked up by ICE and had been in detention for three weeks. As soon as I hired this firm, Maria immediately helped us gather all of our documents and worked closely with Attorney Natalia to make sure everything was prepared for his bond hearing.
Today, my husband was granted bond! 🙌🏼😭❤️ After three long and difficult weeks in ICE detention, this was the answer to so many prayers. To God be the glory!
We are incredibly grateful for Maria and Attorney Natalia. They worked hard on my husband’s case, guided us through every step, and helped us during one of the most difficult moments our family has faced.
I am so thankful that I listened when God placed it in my heart to choose this office. Thank you, Maria and Attorney Natalia, for fighting for my husband and helping make it possible for him to come home to his family.
I highly recommend this office to anyone needing an immigration attorney. May God continue to bless this team and use them to help many more families. 🙏🏼❤️
