FOR EMPLOYERS
Employer Immigration Services
End-to-end work visa services for U.S. employers — from initial strategy through petition filing, RFE response, and status maintenance.
WHY IT MATTERS
Immigration Counsel That Understands Your Industry
Sponsoring a foreign national employee is a legal and compliance obligation that extends well beyond USCIS form preparation. For employers in aerospace, nuclear, defense, and technology sectors, the decision to hire a foreign national worker intersects with export control law, facility security considerations, and program-specific access requirements.
Lex Nautica approaches employer immigration as a complete strategic matter — not just a filing. We analyze the role, the employee, the employer’s regulatory environment, and the full petition record before anything is submitted to USCIS.
COMPLIANCE-AWARE COUNSEL
Aaron Weisman’s direct experience with ITAR, CMMC, FAR, and DFAR compliance at AeroMech Incorporated means Lex Nautica can advise employers on the intersection of their immigration filings and their broader legal obligations — including deemed export analysis for foreign national employees in controlled technology environments.

THE PROCESS
How We Work With Employers
Every engagement begins with a thorough analysis of the role and the employee. We do not file petitions before we understand the full picture.
01
Initial Consultation
We review the role, the employee’s background, and your company’s obligations — and identify the most appropriate visa category and strategy.
02
Position Analysis
We analyze the role against USCIS specialty occupation standards, precedent decisions, and any applicable export control or compliance considerations.
03
LCA Filing
For H-1B and related categories, we prepare and file the Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor, ensuring prevailing wage compliance.
04
Petition Preparation
We draft the full petition package — support letter, evidence exhibits, educational evaluations, and all required USCIS forms — with precision and thoroughness.
05
Filing & Tracking
We file the petition, manage receipt notices, and monitor adjudication status. Premium processing is available for time-sensitive situations.
06
RFE Response
If USCIS issues a Request for Evidence, we prepare a comprehensive, well-documented response. We do not settle for boilerplate when your employee’s status is at stake.
