Heller Immigration Law Group, 650.424.1900 , heller@greencard1.com, immigration lawyers & attorneys, under the leadership of its Founder/Principal – Paul M. Heller, Esq., headquartered in West Menlo Park, CA (the center of the Venture Capital Community, Sand Hill Road, Palo Alto and Silicon Valley), has been successfully serving the greater San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Clara county communities for over 25+ years.
We are located just a few minutes from the Stanford University campus. Many of the giants of Silicon Valley are close by: Google, Apple, Hewlett Packard, Yahoo, Genentech, Linkedin, VMware, Oracle, Craigslist, Cisco Systems, Facebook, Pandora, Netflix – just to name a few. We assist companies, small and large, and venture backed startups, and often non-citizen entrepreneurs, with obtaining immigration benefits, visas and green cards.
Besides the many well and less known private and public companies and venture backed start ups the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley in particular are home to numerous U.S. government labs, universities, think tanks, institutes, ‘parcs’ and many incubators.
Innovation is a cornerstone of the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley in particular, and rabid competition for limited talent is a byproduct of that drive. The immigrant population is a key component of any successful company here.
Our law firm assists HR/corporate, mid-sized and small business, entrepreneurial and individual clients here in Silicon Valley with all their Immigration needs, including: H1b work permits, transfers and extensions, E-3 (Australian) and TN (Canadian and Mexican) work visas, PERM Labor Certifications, E-2 & EB5 Investors, L-1A Executives & Managers, L-1B ‘specialized knowledge’ personnel, 0-1 Researchers and self-petitioning Extraordinary Ability Aliens, Postdoc Scholars and Scientists – and a myriad of other immigrant and non-immigrant visa categories – each from inception to the actual granting of permanent residence.
A primary focus of Paul M. Heller, Founder and Principal, Heller Immigration Law Group, are the many cases filed by self-petitioning individuals, i.e., green card cases filed under the EB1 (Extraordinary Alien) and EB2 (National Interest Waiver) categories. These cases can speed up the process of immigration by eliminating the need to first obtain labor certification with the U.S. Dept. of Labor.
Heller Immigration Law Group also handles all family and relative petitions, including: marriage to U.S. citizens, Immediate Relative I-130 Spousal Petitions, I-485 Adjustment of Status applications, EAD I-765 Employment Authorization I-131 Advance Parole Travel Permits, K-1 Fiance/e and K-3 visas, N400 U.S. citizenship and naturalization applications, I-360 VAWA Abused Spousal petitions, visa denials, as well as I-751 petitions to remove conditional resident status.
Whether an employment or family-based immigration matter, Heller Immigration Law Group will provide comprehensive and individualized attention to each and every case.
