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 had an effortless feeling throughout the process. Everything was taken care of for me. I felt confident with the professional approach from the staff. Marbella and Marisol were key members in my successful outcome. Thank you all for helping to achieve a peace of mind and better opportunities.

We’re very grateful to Oni, Arantxa, and the team for their help throughout my husband’s immigration process. They kept us informed along the way and made everything easy to understand and navigate. Their guidance and support meant so much to our family, and we truly appreciate all the work they put into his case. We’re so thankful for the outcome and would happily recommend their team to anyone looking for immigration assistance.

For many years my family and I struggled to get approval. Our case was complicated and because of that we tried many law firms and waisted a lot of money because none of them were successful. We started to lose hope until we came across the U.S Immigration Law Counsel office.
From the initial consultation the entire team at USILC was AMAZING! Not only were they professional and very organized but they also communicated effectively throughout the entire process. Answering every call and responding to every email to answer any questions I had. While the overall process was a bit long their responsiveness was top tier!
Attorney Oni was beyond amazing to work with. From the moment we met her she was extremely professional, supportive, transparent, and made my family and I feel so comfortable. Her attention to details on our case and effective communication was excellent. I’m extremely grateful we had the opportunity to work with her during this process. Arantxa was also very caring, professional and great to work with. The legal staff was amazing altogether. Thank you also to Jennifer, Maria Valentina, and Leslie throughout this process. I sincerely appreciate all the time and effort you put into our case.
When we finally received approval we were shocked because for so many years we were told no. I cried tears of joy because it was truly a long road for us. I am extremely grateful and I can’t thank this firm enough for getting my family and I through this process. I wish we could’ve found this office sooner…but better late than never. I would 1000% recommend this law firm. Their team genuinely cares and they do everything possible to ensure their clients win!

I had a great experience with the preconsultation paralegal, Jazzmin. She was very professional, knowledgeable (pulling the right records and asking the right questions), and very patient listening to my concerns and case. She always summarized discussions to make sure all my points were captured. I appreciated her positive attitude.

After years of waiting with little progress on our immigration case, we made the decision to change attorneys and move to U.S. Immigration Law Counsel. It turned out to be the best decision we could have made.
Within just 7 months of starting the process with their team, our Adjustment of Status was approved!
I had been following Saman on Instagram for years, never imagining that one day we would need her services. But when we finally decided it was time to change attorneys, Saman was the only person we considered.
One of the things we appreciated most was the communication. After feeling neglected for so long by our previous attorney, it was incredibly refreshing to have a legal assistant proactively reach out every few weeks with updates on our case. We never felt forgotten or left wondering what was happening.
We are extremely grateful to Saman and everyone at U.S. Immigration Law Counsel who helped guide us through this process. Immigration is an incredibly stressful experience, and knowing you have a knowledgeable, competent, and responsive team behind you makes all the difference.
Thank you to the entire team for helping us finally get across the finish line. We couldn't recommend U.S. Immigration Law Counsel more highly!
