Barst
Mukamal & Kleiner LLP takes a direct approach to resolving the ongoing
immigration needs of U.S.-based and multinational employers.
We are goal-oriented and strive to provide immediate legal solutions
to client needs, no matter how complex.
As a firm practicing immigration law exclusively since 1930,
we are fully conversant with current immigration law and policy.
As the oldest immigration law firm in the country and one of
the largest, we have a certain reputation with the government
agencies overseeing immigration matters. In most cases this
wealth of experience translates into immediate advice and action
for clients, with minimal need for extended research.
Clients are apprised of the range of appropriate legal options
"up front." In addition to assistance with specific
cases, we help our clients in strategizing future hiring needs
and defining the timelines required to meet such needs successfully.
Our clients have unlimited access to our partners and attorneys.
Calls are responded to promptly. Barst Mukamal & Kleiner is always
available to discuss extra-ordinary immigration needs directly
with employees and prospective hires, and with their families.
Care is given to ensure that employees and new hires receive
adequate immigration information at what is generally a critical
time in their lives.
All of our fees are based on flat rates rather than on hourly
billing. This allows us to serve our clients efficiently and
allows our clients to plan their budgets more easily.
Barst Mukamal & Kleiner is aware that hiring decisions may be
made by a variety of individuals within an organization, and
that immediate, critical immigration needs may emerge without
significant warning. We understand how such situations emerge
and are experienced in managing them.
Our services include:
- Initial review and evaluation
of prospective employees' documentation and backgrounds, to
determine which type of visa may be appropriate
- Review of immigration needs of employees' family
members
- Preparation of all necessary legal documents, including
forms and letters, ready for client signature. In most cases
documents for non-immigrant visas can be prepared within 72
hours.
- Follow up on approvals and issuance of visas
- Timely filing of extensions of stay
- Guidance on obtaining permanent residency
- Advice on the Labor Certification process
- Preparation of employees for interviews with officials
of government agencies
- Addressing arbitrary or capricious State Department
or BCIS (formerly INS) demands
- Advice on planned travel outside the U.S.
Our multilingual and multicultural staff provides communication
in numerous languages, including French, Spanish, Turkish, Hebrew,
Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, Shanghainese,
Fuzhouese), and Tagalog.
