Family-based Immigration
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) provides a number of ways legal residents or citizens can help relatives enter the U.S. and attain a green card indicating Legal Permanent Resident status (LPR). Current U.S. citizens can petition for admission or residency of spouses, siblings, parents, fiancées, and children. However, there are a number of restrictions on family-based immigration. There is sometimes a significant waiting period. Consult immigration lawyer John McKenna, to learn more details. For more information visit our family-based immigration page. We provide translators whenever needed for in-office visits.

Employment–based immigration
There are many ways employers can help their employees work in the United States. Our law firm has extensive experience working with physicians, health care organizations, restaurants, manufacturing operations, multinational corporations, entrepreneurial ventures, and educational institutions, in matters relating to employment-based immigration. Employers can help workers obtain temporary work permits or visa types such as the H-1B, H-1C, H-2A, and H-2B. In addition, visas are available for corporate executives transferring to work in the United States (L visas), for artists, writers and scholars of exceptional ability and renown (O visas), crew members on ships, and other categories of employees. The Law Office of John P. McKenna, P.C., is experienced in applying for all types of employment-based visas.
