Wood & Lamping Immigration Law – helping businesses remain compliant, productive and profitable

With recent Federal, State and local government changes and heightened focus on immigration, increasing pressure has been placed on employers to make sure all immigration paperwork is in compliance with the Federal Government’s requirements.  In fact, the U.S. government has begun investigating employers to make sure all their immigration-related paperwork (especially the I-9 form) is in compliance. 

Unaware of what some of the new regulations are, many employers turn to Wood & Lamping to conduct an internal audit of their immigration records to prepare for an U.S. government audit or investigation.  The immigration law experts at Wood & Lamping can:

• Verify employment eligibility of employees (U.S. citizens or not)
• Advise employers on citizenship and national origin discrimination and document abuse
• Handle applications for all temporary and permanent employment-based visas (H-1B, TN, L1, E, B, F1, etc.) and for labor certification
• Assist those seeking visa extensions or change of status (e.g., moving from one employer to another)

Engaging legal services prior to an investigation or audit gives an employer peace of mind.  Wood & Lamping can help businesses avoid costly fines and the risk of losing valuable employees whose paperwork is missing, inaccurate or incomplete.
