Immigration
Immigration is a complex area of federal law that involves several federal agencies, including the Department of State, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Labor. Bringing key personnel to the United States from abroad in a timely manner is often essential for the success of a new or existing business venture in the United States.
Bullock & Coffman’s immigration attorneys assist domestic and international corporations and businesses in planning for their temporary and more permanent immigration needs. Our attorneys also advise and assist foreign nationals – including those who are seeking to invest in or conduct business in the U.S. – with obtaining and maintaining immigration status.
Our firm handles family immigration issues that frequently arise when foreign workers relocate to the U.S., and we assist with a variety of work visas for executive and managerial personnel, as well as skilled specialized workers and trainees. As a Central Kentucky firm, we are uniquely aware of and experienced with the special immigration needs of those in the equine industry. We offer personalized and reliable service in helping clients through the confusion that sometimes occurs when facing INS and State Department rules and regulations. Our goal is to assist our clients in resolving the many immigration matters that frequently arise in the global marketplace.
Immigration law is federal and applies equally to all states. Most immigration filings are done by mail, which allows us to successfully represent clients wherever they live or conduct business. Our attorneys utilize the latest communication technologies and services so that we are able to serve our clients locally, nationally and internationally.
