Immigration Made Simple

GT's Business Immigration Group is aware of the difficulties most Human Resource executives, managers and personnel face when dealing with the complex issues surrounding the U.S. immigration laws and regulations. We design user-friendly and cost-effective systems to handle the immigration process, depending upon your company's staffing needs and the size of foreign hires. We are dedicated to assisting our corporate clients by personally guiding them through the often frustrating labyrinth that immigration work entails. We are committed to ensuring that the process is made as simple as possible, while at the same time ensuring that you fully understand your company's responsibilities and liabilities.

Unparalleled Services

We assist in designing plans to ensure that your company is always in compliance with all applicable immigration and labor laws. We assist in IRCA or "I-9" reviews , as well as audit preparation. Our offices also provide services with regard to due diligence audits in the context of mergers and acquisitions. Our offices coordinate and maintain all immigration and labor law files for foreign employees. We will preserve company specific prerequisites (including indexing recruiting efforts) in order to save time during the immigration procedure. We hold telephone and e-mail consultations with company representatives at no cost to those companies that we regularly represent. Our office also provides automatic tracking of all work visa expiration dates for your employees. Upon request, we can provide web-based case management that allows our clients access to their statuses on-line. Our state-of-the-art technologies and case management systems provide our clients with the tools that ultimately simplify corporate immigration matters.

Consultations

GT's Business Immigration Group regularly offers immigration presentations and seminars to recruiters, HR personnel, and other company representatives involved in the process. We are able to meet with corporate executives and H.R. directors in person at your place of business, or our staff can organize a meeting via telephone for a complimentary presentation of our services. At the presentation we will review your company's current immigration related arrangements. There is no charge for a presentation of our services and an evaluation of your company's needs.
