"I had a great experience working with Sam on my E-2 visa from Canada. After dealing with two unresponsive attorneys, Sam was a huge relief—always responsive, professional, and reliable. He consistently answered my calls or followed up within a few hours. His fees were reasonable, and the level of service was truly five-star. Thank you, Sam, for your outstanding support and guidance throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an immigration attorney."

★★★★★
"My relative got detained and we called a few law firms. Out of all of them, Sam was the most knowledgeable. He was able to get my uncle released and we are forever grateful."
★★★★★
"I initially hesitated to work with Sam because he was blunt and honest, while other attorneys made big promises. In hindsight, I realized that his straightforwardness was a strength. The other lawyers ended up charging me extra for services I didn't need, while he provided clear and realistic advice. I wish I had gone with him from the start. If you want someone who tells it like it is, he's a great choice!"

Common Questions About Employment-Based Immigration in El Paso
An L-1 visa allows certain companies to transfer qualified employees from an affiliated foreign office to a U.S. office. Eligibility usually depends on the relationship between the companies, the employee’s prior qualifying work abroad, and whether the U.S. role involves executive, managerial, or specialized knowledge duties. For companies expanding or moving personnel into Texas, an El Paso employment immigration attorney can review whether the business structure and employee role support an L-1 petition.
A business immigration lawyer can help your company evaluate visa options, sponsor employees, prepare USCIS petitions, review documentation, and plan for long-term workforce needs. For Amarillo employers, business immigration may involve employee transfers, work visa planning, PERM labor certification, employment-based green cards, or support for cross-border business growth. Faragalla Law works with employers to connect immigration strategy to hiring, transfer, and expansion goals.
For an employment-based immigration consultation, bring documents related to the company, the job offer, the employee’s credentials, immigration history, prior visa filings, and any USCIS notices or denials. Employers may also need job descriptions, payroll records, corporate ownership documents, organizational charts, business plans, and evidence of the relationship between affiliated companies when transfers are involved. An employment-based immigration lawyer uses those records to identify the most practical filing path before a petition is prepared.
PERM labor certification is a process many employers must complete before sponsoring a foreign worker for certain employment-based green cards. It generally requires the employer to test the U.S. labor market, document recruitment steps, and show that the offered position meets wage and job requirement rules. Before starting the process, a PERM labor certification attorney can help determine whether PERM is required and whether the position is ready for sponsorship.
