U.S. Immigration & International Organizational Strategies
To describe U.S. Immigration Law and its impact on international business as complicated and stressful is a gross understatement. Issues involving personnel and executive transfers to the United States and international recruitment including personnel security clearances, restrictions on dissemination of technical data, and visas are often the crucial details that can cause costly delays in international business, depending on whether or not they are handled properly with expert advice.
Personnel decisions cannot be made last, they are an integral part of the success or failure of your U.S. and/or non-U.S. subsidiary. The well being of the individual employee and family can often affect the outcome of business goals, particularly in the case of key managers and executives. Klimek, Kolodney & Casale concentrates on transferring the whole family, as opposed to just the employee. By easing the family members through the rubric of U.S. Immigration laws the U.S. experience for the employee is optimized and costly employment disputes minimized. When U.S. personnel are sent abroad we are equally prepared to facilitate the relocation through our network of beneficial partners.
Klimek, Kolodney & Casale also counsels companies on how non-immigrant and immigrant aliens are treated under U.S. law for purposes of restricted programs, including Export Control/EAR, ITAR (International Traffic in Arms), DSS (Defense Security Service), and business operations. Our personal attention to detail and to our client's needs places us at the forefront of firms engaged in international commercial work.
We have developed a recognized expertise in forming and organizing subsidiaries and establishing new offices, which requires an understanding of the unique legal issues that can arise in cross-border transactions. We take the time to guide our clients through development of business and personnel models that fit the company's objectives and meets U.S. statutes and regulations.
Consular Processing
We recognize that at times the most treacherous waters in the immigration process can be at our U.S. embassies and consulates overseas, where visas are issued. Our clients receive a private, individualized consular processing packet with detailed information on how to complete the process and what to expect. When required the employee is accompanied to the appointment. The consular guidance we provide is a concise packet of easy to understanding instructions containing up-to-date information on visa processing for the particular U.S. foreign post that will issue the visa. This type of information cannot be found on the official website or in the do-it-yourself informational web locations, which feature generic instructions of a myriad of scenarios without providing sufficient instruction to distinguish which information is relevant to a particular scenario.
Proper consular processing is essential to entry and reentry into the United States. With frequent revisions in security procedures at U.S. foreign posts, preparation and documentation are the keys to a successful experience that minimizes challenges and stress.
