Washington, D.C., Business Immigration Attorneys

Let us be your company's "in-house" immigration counsel.

A business' livelihood may depend on the employment of foreign individuals. If this situation applies to your business, you will likely face immigration issues that relate to these individuals and your business. Our attorneys provide comprehensive representation to companies and sponsoring employers in immigration matters. We are experienced lawyers who understand the many facets of the U.S. immigration policies and procedures.

Oden and Dillard, PLLC helps clients assess the situation of their business and determine the best course of action to address any immigration matters that may affect the business. We share your concerns for the future success and possible growth of the company and are dedicated to moving through any immigration issues as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Your employees may need one of a variety of business and employment-related visas. Below is a list of just some of the non-immigrant visas that may be appropriate for your business:

  • H1B Visa
  • H2B Visa
  • H3 Visa
  • L1 Visa
  • B1 Visa
  • B2 Visa
  • O Visa
  • J1 Visa
  • J1 Waiver
  • P Visa
  • TN Visa
  • E3 Visa


We also assist employers who wish to sponsor foreign nationals for permanent residence. We counsel such clients on the application process for Alien Labor Certifications (PERM), and help them find ways to avoid the labor certification process to obtain permanent residence (green card) for their foreign national employees.

We have an expertise in obtaining permanent resident status through National Interest Waivers, Outstanding Researcher and Extraordinary Ability based petitions for scientists, researchers and other highly-qualified professionals.

We are well-organized and maintain updated timelines in each case to ensure that documents are filed and meetings are scheduled within the proper timeframes.

  • In addition to offering businesses comprehensive immigration guidance and counsel, our lawyers also represent companies in employment law matters and advise businesses regarding I-9 compliance. We help employers address all of the legal issues related to their employment of foreign nationals.
  • We regularly represent booking agencies and entertainment representation companies that want to secure athlete and/or entertainer visas (O and P visas) for their clients.
  • Additionally, we help teachers and education professionals pursue non-immigrant and immigrant visas. This guidance has allowed many school districts to satisfy their shortage of teachers in the classroom.

Contact our lawyers today to learn more about how we can help you. We offer flexible appointment times and will travel to your business office if necessary. You do not have to face immigration matters alone. Let our knowledgeable attorneys assist you through the process and educate you about your legal options.
