We work with our corporate clients to ensure compliance with labor and employment laws with regard to their foreign workers, most notably by meeting the requirements of the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9, which is used to establish employees' identities and to confirm their eligibility to work in the United States.

Compliance also includes creating and maintaining public access files for H-1B employees, as well as filing labor condition applications with the Department of Labor to ensure that the hiring of a foreign worker will not adversely affect a US worker.
