About

Provided by Harter Secrest & Emery LLP

Harter Secrest & Emery combines nationally recognized immigration expertise with a regional law firm’s rate structure to create a strong value proposition for our clients.

We are well-known for: establishing sound immigration policies for employers to enhance their ability to secure and retain foreign talent; obtaining work visas and permanent resident status for key, executive employees, professors and scientists, medical personnel including J waivers for physicians, multinational organizations, universities, foreign nationals employed by professional sports teams, performers of outstanding ability, and others; overseeing immigration issues involved in mergers and acquisitions of significant corporate entities; assuring compliance with I-9 regulations; and educating clients on regulations and requirements in the ever-changing immigration landscape

In addition to substantive legal work, we have successfully litigated cases in Federal Court to overturn New York State’s unconstitutional professional licensing requirements negatively impacting foreign nationals and to protect a client’s constitutional right to sponsor family members for immigration benefits. We have also represented clients on appeals of negative decisions to the U.S. Administrative Appeal Office (AAO) and the Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals (BALCA).
