Employment-Based TEMPORARY VISAS

From our office in Long Beach, California, the Law Office of Janis Peterson-Lord helps employers and employees around the world with their employment-based immigration needs, from immigrant and non-immigrant visas to permanent labor certifications, waivers, and petitions for foreign nationals of extraordinary ability.

Non-Immigrant Visas

For temporary workers who wish to maintain permanent residence in their home country, we work to obtain a non-immigrant visa anywhere from a few days to several years, depending upon the need. We can also help these workers to bring over their spouse on a derivative visa, or to obtain a dual status visa leading to a permanent residency green card.
