Hamblett & Kerrigan represents both businesses and individuals in dealing with immigration law issues. We can assist you with most immigration issues, from obtaining temporary visas to obtaining permanent resident or 'green card' status, to becoming a United States citizen. Our practice includes both employment-based immigration, and immigration based upon a family relationship, such as marriage to a United States citizen. Potential areas where we can be of assistance include:

• Obtaining temporary visas for high technology workers, such as computer programmers.
• Obtaining permanent resident status, sometimes called a 'green card' for an employee of a business on the basis of that employment.
• Obtaining permanent resident status for spouses or or other close relatives of U.S. citizens.
• Renewing or transferring company visas, such as H-1B visas for skilled employees.
• Becoming a United States citizen.
• Transferring employees from overseas branches of a company.
