Semmes maintains a sophisticated employment and immigration law practice. Semmes offers full representation to U.S. employers seeking to hire foreign workers and to foreign employers seeking to establish U.S. subsidiaries or to transfer their employees to existing U.S. subsidiaries. We have experience in obtaining non-immigrant visas, permanent residence "green cards," citizenship naturalization, and work authorization permits. Multinational corporations, immigrant investors, small businesses and newly married couples are among the Firm's clients in this sensitive area.

We also advise employers about compliance with the increasingly complex regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the U.S. Department of Labor, and the Department of Homeland Security.
