Immigration is complex.
We handle it for you.
When the right hire is abroad, you don't need to learn visa categories or file petitions. We determine the right pathway, manage the process end-to-end with licensed immigration counsel, and track status through approval.
Three pathways.
One managed process.
The right pathway depends on the candidate's nationality and the role. Here are the three we manage most — each run end-to-end with licensed immigration counsel, from documentation through arrival:
No Cap. No Lottery. No Waiting.
For Mexican and Canadian Nationals — Engineers, Architects, Scientists
We draft the TN support letter, coordinate with licensed counsel, and track status through approval.
Specialty Occupations. No Lottery.
For Chilean Nationals — Engineers and Technical Professionals
We prepare the LCA, file the USCIS petition, and coordinate consulate appointment for the candidate.
The Route for Skilled Trades.
For Electricians, Fitters, Welders & Technicians — Non-Degreed Skilled Roles
We manage the labor certification, prepare the petition, and coordinate consular processing end to end.
Not sure which pathway fits your candidate? You don't need to figure it out. Tell us the role and nationality — we'll confirm the right approach within one business day.

What employers
ask us most.
How is H-2B different from TN and H1B1?
TN and H1B1 are professional visas for degreed engineers and specialists — no lottery, filed year-round, and portable across projects. H-2B is the pathway for the skilled trades — electricians, pipefitters, welders, and technicians — where a degree isn't the qualifier. It's cap-subject and lottery-based, tied to a documented temporary or seasonal need, and it runs on a fixed calendar: we file in January for an April 1 start and begin preparing in the fall. Because the cap is competitive, an early, complete filing is what protects your timeline. Tell us the role and we'll confirm which pathway fits.
Can the engineer move between projects or job sites?
Yes. TN and H1B1 are tied to the employer and occupation category — not a specific project or location. An engineer can work across multiple sites, states, or assignments within the same company and role without any visa action. If the employer changes, or the occupation shifts significantly, an updated support letter (TN) or new petition (H1B1) is required. We handle that update.
What happens if the project ends before the visa expires?
The visa is tied to the employment relationship, not the project. If your project wraps early and you want to move the engineer to another assignment, no visa action is needed — they stay on your payroll and move to the next job. If you're ending the employment entirely, the engineer will need to depart or transfer to a new employer. We advise on proper offboarding; mishandling this is a compliance risk for the employer.
What happens if the TN application is denied at the border?
TN adjudication is officer-discretion — a well-prepared packet reduces denial risk substantially, but it happens. If a candidate is denied, we identify the stated reason, correct any deficiency, and rebook the crossing. We select ports of entry with proven track records for engineering TN adjudications. This is part of our coordination, not a separate charge.
Can the engineer bring their family?
Yes. TN holders' dependents (spouse and children under 21) receive TD status and can live in the U.S. for the visa's duration. H1B1 and H-2B dependents receive H-4 status. In every case, dependents are not authorized to work. We assist with dependent applications as part of the placement.
Can a TN or H1B1 holder eventually get a green card?
Neither visa is formally dual-intent — workers should not enter with a stated intention to immigrate permanently. In practice, many TN and H1B1 holders later pursue green cards through employer sponsorship. This is legal and common, but requires careful handling at renewal. We raise this proactively if it becomes relevant during a placement.
Do I need to retain my own immigration attorney?
No. Licensed immigration counsel is part of our process on every placement — included, not billed separately. For complex situations (prior visa denials, credential questions, dependent complications), we may recommend direct engagement with counsel and will make that referral.
