Immigration
Bilzin Sumberg’s Immigration Practice provides strategic U.S. immigration counsel to domestic and international businesses, multinational corporations, entrepreneurs, foreign investors, family offices, executives, and high-net-worth individuals and families. We represent employers that hire foreign nationals in a range of industries, including information technology and healthcare, as well as internationally renowned athletes, artists, musicians, physicians, and businesspeople, among others. Our immigration attorneys advise on employment-based and investment-based immigration, family-sponsored immigration, permanent residency (green cards), U.S. citizenship and naturalization, consular processing, federal court immigration litigation, and regulatory compliance. We develop tailored strategies that help businesses attract and retain international talent, facilitate cross-border investment and business expansion, and assist individuals and families seeking to establish or maintain a presence in the United States.
Our attorneys handle complex immigration matters involving extraordinary ability petitions (EB-1A), multinational executive and manager transfers (EB-1C), PERMs, employment-based visa petitions (EB-2, EB-3), national interest waiver petitions, EB-5 immigrant investor matters, and employer immigration compliance. We also handle applications and petitions for nonimmigrant visas, including but not limited to E-2 investor visas, H-1B specialty occupation petitions, L-1 petitions for multinational executives, managers, and individuals with specialized knowledge, and O-1 extraordinary ability petitions. We file mandamus and Administrative Procedure Act (APA) lawsuits to compel the government to adjudicate unreasonably delayed immigration applications and evaluate federal court challenges to arbitrary and capricious denials. We prepare and file work authorization applications for key personnel and navigate evolving immigration regulations. For international investors, entrepreneurs, and families, we develop immigration strategies aligned with business interests, investment objectives, and long-term residency goals.
A key strength of our Immigration Practice is its integration with Bilzin Sumberg’s Tax & Private Wealth, Corporate, Real Estate, and Trial & Litigation practices. This multidisciplinary approach allows us to address the broader legal and financial considerations that frequently accompany immigration decisions, including U.S. tax exposure, wealth preservation, business formation, investment structuring, estate and succession planning, and cross-border transactions. Our attorneys collaborate across practices to advise on relocating family members and key executives, establishing or expanding U.S. businesses and family offices, and acquiring U.S. assets. By aligning immigration strategies with broader business, tax, and private wealth objectives, we help clients make informed decisions that support both immediate needs and long-term priorities.
With deep roots in Miami and an established international practice, Bilzin Sumberg advises clients worldwide seeking to establish, expand, or maintain a presence in the United States. Our team’s Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian language capabilities strengthen our ability to serve clients across Latin America, Europe, and other international markets. We deliver practical, coordinated immigration solutions aligned with each client’s business, financial, and personal objectives.
