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 truly cannot say enough about this team. We started working with them in 2024 to fix a complicated case that had been handled poorly by another firm for years with little comminication.
Within our first meeting, it was clear they operated on a different level; we learned more in 30 minutes about our case than we had in three years elsewhere and to this day any tiny question we have they are happy to answer.
With their help we just reached a huge milestone with our case! Even though our case is complex, they’ve supported us every step of the way with strategies specific to us.
I also love that you don't just work with one attorney—you have a whole team of attorneys, assistants and paralegals with different areas of experties jumping in to help and strategize.
The peace of mind of knowing you have the best in the business is worth everything.
The team at USILC is truly amazing. They are professional, responsive, friendly, reliable and most importantly HONEST!
They will tell you what you NEED to hear not what you WANT to hear and I respect that.
I have the pleasure of working with Maribel, Raquel and Saman and I must say that their level of care is most comforting. They're highly experienced and they leave no stone unturned when it comes to helping their clients.
One other thing that stood out to me is that they explain as they go along so the client is also educated in the "why, how and when"
I had an excellent experience working with this firm. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me throughout the process. They took the time to clearly explain every step, answered all of my questions with patience, and made sure I felt confident and well-informed along the way.
My paralegal Carolina was especially helpful she was always responsive, organized, and made everything much easier to navigate.
I highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of immigration services they truly provide exceptional care and dedication to their clients.
I had an excellent experience during my pre-consultation, and I want to give special recognition to Marisol. She was incredibly professional, welcoming, and attentive from the very beginning. Marisol took the time to listen carefully, answered all of my questions clearly, and made me feel comfortable and confident moving forward. Her kindness and knowledge truly stood out. I highly recommend this place, and I’m very grateful for the outstanding service provided by Marisol!
It was truly a blessing when I was introduced to this firm
