Immigration Law

Siff & Lake’s labor and employment practice is complemented by a complete array of immigration-related services.  Our immigration practice includes compliance counseling, auditing employee verification practices, training and “best practices” for managers, and litigating federal immigration issues, such as claims alleging unfair immigration-related employment practices.  The firm’s attorneys regularly represent clients in investigations, audits, and enforcement actions by government agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice's Office of Special Counsel. 

For entities that experience a bona fide shortage of qualified and available domestic workers, Siff & Lake counsels clients on federal employment-related visa programs, including the H-2A, H-2B, and H-1B programs.  The firm helps clients comply with the often complex and stringent procedures involved in obtaining proper labor certifications and visa petition approvals through the Department of Labor, the Department of Homeland Security, and the State Department.  The firm’s attorneys have successfully represented a number of clients in administrative and court proceedings arising out of foreign worker programs.
