Welcome to Sherman Immigration, where our commitment to transparency, responsiveness, and personal service sets us apart in the field of immigration law. With over 30 years of experience, our founder, Mike Sherman is here to guide you through the complexities of immigration with thoughtfulness and care. Whether you’re a business seeking to hire a foreign worker, a healthcare professional navigating U.S. visas, or a family looking to start the Green Card process, we offer tailored solutions that meet your needs.

Our Specialties

Business Immigration

In today’s global economy, the ability to attract and retain top talent from around the world is crucial for your business’s success. Our firm provides comprehensive legal services for businesses of all sizes, helping you navigate the complexities of business immigration with ease.

  • Employment Visas: From H-1B to L-1 visas, we assist companies in securing the right visas for their employees, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.
  • PERM and Employment-Based Green Cards: The employment-based Green Card process is complex, lengthy, and requires expert guidance. We support businesses through the process of securing green cards for key employees through various employment-based categories. This includes preparing EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 petitions, tailored to your specific business needs and facilitating a smooth transition for your staff.
  • Employment Authorization: Some types of visa holders and green card applicants are eligible to apply for an EAD card, allowing them to work in the U.S. without an employment-based visa. We can help determine whether a worker is eligible for an EAD, assist with gathering evidence and documentation, and assemble and file a strong application.

Healthcare Immigration

Healthcare professionals are essential to the well-being of our communities, and we understand the unique immigration challenges faced by those in the medical field. Our firm specializes in:

Visa Applications for Healthcare Workers: We handle all types of visas for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, including J-1 waivers and H-1B visas, allowing you to focus on your important work without worrying about legal hurdles.

  • Permanent Residency: We assist healthcare professionals in navigating the green card process, offering support throughout the application and adjudication stages. This includes the Physician National Interest Waiver process, Schedule-A Green Cards for nurses and physical therapists, and Extraordinary Ability petitions.
  • Employer Sponsorship: For healthcare facilities seeking to sponsor foreign professionals, we offer guidance on what visa best applies to their unique situation. We are transparent about the requirements, processes, and costs involved in J-1 waivers, H-1Bs, TNs, and any other visa that your business may be considering.

Family Immigration

At Sherman Immigration, we understand how critical it is to be with your loved ones, and our firm is dedicated to making the immigration process as smooth as possible for families. We have decades of experience getting Green Cards for family members both in the United States and abroad. Our services include:

  • Immediate Family Green Cards: We help U.S. citizens navigate the complex process of obtaining green cards for their immediate family members, including spouses, parents, and children under 21. 
  • Family-Preference Immigration: This type of service is for U.S. citizens who wish to get a Green Card for non-immediate family members like siblings or married children and lawful permanent residents who want to sponsor a Green Card for their spouses, children under 21, or unmarried children over 21.
