MCNAMARA & MCCARTHY, P.C. offers a full range of employment and family-based immigration
legal services. Our commitment is to provide knowledgeable, personal
and
responsive
representation to all our clients, who include major international
corporations, small businesses, universities and schools, hospitals,
religious organizations
and skilled individuals throughout the Untied States. We "partner"
with our clients to develop strategies to meet their immediate and
long-term employment and immigration goals. We provide a high level
of personalized
service, seeking creative solutions to complex issues and individual
circumstances. We utilize state-of-the-art technology, such as our
new,
secure online case management system, which provides for interactive
case preparation and case status reports accessible by our clients.
Our practice covers the following areas:
- Nonimmigrant
Visas. We obtain appropriate nonimmigrant visas and work authorization
status, for professional and skilled employees of institutions and
corporations, as well as independent investors, and distinguished
scientists, artists, and athletes. We also counsel employers in developing
effective strategies and processes to meet their personnel needs.
For example, we have obtained approval of Blanket L Visa programs
for several multinational companies, thereby reducing the time and
expense required to transfer key personnel to the United States. We
have also gained INS approval for company training programs to provide
their foreign employees with the knowledge and skills needed for success
abroad.
- Immigrant
Visas. We obtain United States permanent resident status for individuals
and their families based upon their employment or distinguished accomplishments
in an ever-increasing variety of fields. We have achieved an enviable
record of success in labor certification applications throughout the
United States, and in applications for which labor certification may
be waived, including outstanding scientists, educators, business executives
and artists. Evaluating each case individually, we seek solutions
to meet the profiles and timetables of each client and continue to
work with them, applying all laws and opportunities as they arise
throughout the process.
- Compliance
and Auditing Services. We conduct training programs for in-house
legal staff and personnel managers to assist in the administration
of immigration-related matters, including compliance with regulatory
requirements. We also help our clients develop systems to facilitate
the immigration process. For example, we have worked with the Human
Resources Departments of major national computer consulting firms
to establish hiring and documentation procedures and internal systems
to ease the complexities of the immigration process and to comply
with the I-9 Employment Verification and H-1B visa regulations. We
recently conducted an audit of H-1B visa records for a multinational
technology company, suggested remedial actions, and developed a record
keeping system to ensure compliance going forward.
- Liaison and
Advocacy Services.
We act as liaison between clients and appropriate governmental agencies,
such as the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department
and the Department of Labor, and advocate for our clients at
consular
offices around
the world.
For example, we have developed an Exchange Visitor program for an
acclaimed private educational institution, obtained program designation
by United States Department of State, and then acted as liaison with
respect to the maintenance of that program.
- Foreign Visas
and Work Authorization.
We assist in obtaining appropriate visas and work authorizations for
business travel and employment in several countries outside the United
States.
