Employment Based Immigration Processing

Immigration has become a sprawling subject, touching many lives and professions. Its implications involving the practice of law are no less complicated. I am attorney Kimberly Harrison-Donaldson and, statewide or nationwide, I can be of service to your business or family.

At Harrison-Donaldson, Attorney at Law, I handle both complex and straightforward employment-based immigration processing matters. I work with local, national and multinational corporations in a wide range of fields, including energy, construction and highly specialized technology, to assist these companies with their employees’ immigration needs. My clients appreciate the creative solutions I have devised to reduce their immigration problems. You will, too. Whether you are a worker or an employer, I can help. Contact my full-service immigration law firm to learn more.

Employment-Based Immigrant Categories and Visas

With my employment-based immigration assistance, foreign workers can acquire a visa or green card through a variety of conditions and programs.

• Professional workers or skilled and unskilled workers.
• Priority workers, meaning persons of extraordinary ability, outstanding professors or researchers, and executives and managers of multinational companies (EB-1).
• Professionals holding advanced degrees or persons of exceptional ability in the arts, sciences, or business.
• Religious workers, persons seeking reacquisition of citizenship, returning residents, Panama Canal Treaty employees, commuters from borders, retired G-4 officers, foreign medical graduates, and court defendants.
• Investors in companies employing at least 10 U.S. citizens or authorized immigrant workers (EB-5).

For temporary workers, the list of employment immigration visa categories include:

• Professionals (H-1B)
• Seasonal workers (H-2B)
• Intracompany transferees (L-1)
• Individuals with extraordinary achievements/abilities (O)
• Fashion models and athletes (P)
• People entering the U.S. for training (Q)
• Religious workers (R)
• Nurses and other health professionals (H-1C)
• Investors (E)
• Specialty workers from Australia (E-3)
• Representatives of foreign media companies (I)
• Canadian and Mexican citizens performing professional-level work (TN)
• Employees of international organizations (Q)

I help businesses hire the employees they need while assisting talented workers gain admittance to the United States. Some categories are subject to quotas. Most of them call for labor certification. I help employers and employees determine which type is the best path to a green card.

Family – Based Immigration Processing

At the Columbus, Ohio, and Irving, Texas, law offices of Harrison-Donaldson, I work to reunite families. My experience with immigration law allows me to effectively reunite my clients with their families as quickly as is possible. I offer statewide, nationwide and worldwide legal guidance through the U.S. immigration process.

You may be a U.S. citizen who is engaged to a foreign national. You may be a U.S. legal permanent resident seeking a spouse’s visa to come to the U.S. I am prepared to help in these and other family immigration situations. Please contact me for an initial consultation, so I can learn the details of your case and outline an appropriate course of action.

I am sympathetic to how relationships and situations can change. For this reason, I also assist individuals–both sponsors and those being sponsored–with immigration issues related to divorce and dissolution. I am uniquely familiar with the complexities that may arise from these situations and support and guide my clients through these emotional immigration matters. Whatever your need, I will try to find a creative solution for it at Harrison-Donaldson, Attorney at Law.

My Family Immigration Assistance

I will not stop working until I bring your family member (or family members) to the United States. As a family immigration attorney, I work diligently to help bring your loved ones here, so parents, siblings and adult children can be reunited.

I can help you navigate the various family-based immigration categories that exist, including immediate relative (IR), family preference (F) and fiancée/spouse (K1/K3). Some of the family-based immigration categories are impacted by quotas that restrict the number of immigrants who are permitted to enter the U.S. on an annual basis. I am experienced in filing I-130 petitions and family-based green card applications and can assist you with the associated medical examinations, fees and other requirements.

Family Non-Immigrant Visas

Several programs exist which permit children and spouses to accompany primary visa holders to the United States as dependents. The H-4 and L-2 visas are examples of such programs, through which temporary workers can bring their dependents to the United States. I am an experienced immigration lawyer who can help you navigate this process.

Adoption Programs

I not only assist in the reassembling of families, but also help create new ones through programs related to international adoption. I help my clients stay informed about visa requirements and act as a liaison with the State Department to avoid delays.

I understand the anxiety that can overwhelm adoptive parents, and I strive to provide emotional, as well as legal support through this process. I will do everything I can to accelerate the adoption process.
