Asim Shawabkeh Very professional team. I have dealt with Lindsay. And she was so professional and so helpful. Karla Ramirez My father scheduled a consultation with Hilary Chadwick. He had a great experience with her during their consultation. She is fluent in Spanish which made my father comfortable since English is not his first language. She provided the necessary information for his immigration status. We truly appreciated her knowledge and attention to this! Thank you SDP&A! Addis I had a consultation with Christina J. Murdoch, and she was excellent at understanding my case and providing professional advice. By following her guidance, my pending case was approved in less than two months. I highly recommend her. Marcelo German Después de haber contratado 3 firmas de abogados de mucha reputación en el pasado (y consultado a otros 4 adicionales) y de no haber conseguido ningún resultado (o incluso con la situation empeorada) y con miles de dólares gastados, tuvimos suerte: encontramos la oficina de Scott D. Pollock. Nuestro caso era bastante complejo, pero Scott hizo un excelente trabajo no solo al comprender pequeños detalles y complejidades en la primera llamada, sino también al explicarnos todos los posibles escenarios y soluciones para cada uno de ellos. Scott y Christina siguieron de cerca nuestro caso, nos prepararon para posibles resultados, pero lo que mas los diferencia de otros abogados es que se mantienen muy actualizados con información legal de casos recientes que, en nuestro caso, fue muy valiosa y condujo a una solución. Es una oficina de abogados sincera, confiable, compasiva y extremadamente profesional y organizada.

Immigrants who want to permanently work and live in the United States must obtain a business visa, otherwise known as an employment-based visa. To start the process, your business must first obtain labor certification approval from the Department of Labor (DOL). Next, you must often file an Immigration Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140) with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) for the correct employment-based preference category.
Our skillful attorneys have the extensive knowledge to navigate each unique case, from choosing the right preference category for employees to obtaining their visas so that your business flourishes.
Scott D. Pollock & Associates, P.C. has experience with each preference category and can guide your Chicago business through the entire legal process.
Our attorneys ensure your business remains compliant while building its workforce. Due to the complex nature of business immigration law, an immigration attorney is often vital to successful business immigration outcomes. The team members at Scott D. Pollock & Associates, P.C. have the experience, knowledge, and skills to assist Chicago businesses in navigating employment-based immigration.
One of the most complicated aspects of business immigration law is ensuring compliance when hiring and retaining immigrant employees. Establishing and maintaining a legally compliant global workforce is crucial for safeguarding your company’s interests and reputation.
With in-depth knowledge and skill, Scott D. Pollock & Associates, P.C. ensures Chicago businesses follow immigration laws and processes. Regarding Form I-9 compliance, the top priority is maximizing the protection of employers and foreign employees while minimizing damage and disruptions to a company.
The United States government requires Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 for anyone working in the U.S. All Chicago businesses must complete and retain a Form I-9 for every employee.
Failure to comply by properly completing and storing I-9s may result in civil penalties and fines for businesses and possible deportation for employees. Form I-9 creates an audit trail that ensures employers do not knowingly hire unauthorized immigrants. Additionally, it helps enforce business immigration laws related to employment eligibility verification. Our Employment Based Immigration Lawyers can assist companies with I-9 compliance and audits in several ways.
An internal I-9 audit is a preventative measure for maintaining business immigration compliance. It is one of the best tools for avoiding future problems.
Our immigration attorneys take a proactive approach, conducting internal I-9 audits to demonstrate your company’s commitment to compliance. This approach allows you to preemptively correct any I-9 form deficiencies, ensuring your Chicago business is prepared and secure.
Effective Form I-9 training is crucial for human resource departments to meet legal hiring and employment requirements. I-9 training educates staff on properly completing and maintaining I-9s as mandated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
If a Chicago business is alerted of an impending governmental I-9 audit, having an immigration lawyer is the best way to safeguard your company and employees. When initiating an audit, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a division within ICE, issues a Notice of Inspection (NOI) to the company first.
The ICE agent conducting the audit sets the deadline for responding with I-9 forms and supporting documentation based on the specific circumstances. Employers must respond within a minimum of three days. The audit process has hard deadlines and precise guidelines. Business immigration attorney Lindsay Fullerton and the rest of the team provide valuable assistance every step of the way.
By partnering with our experienced immigration attorneys, Chicago businesses can confidently expand their workforce while remaining compliant with ever-changing regulations. Chicago business immigration law is complex, but Scott D. Polock & Associates, P.C. has the experience, insight, and determination to navigate it seamlessly for your business.
