Business Visas
Business visas can be complex. In the U.S., there are pathways to temporary work visas through non-immigrant visas, as well as employment-based visas, which are evidenced by a green card. As a business immigration attorney, Barbara Marcouiller assists employers and employees with business visas.
I-9 Compliance
Every U.S. employer is required properly to complete and maintain Form I-9 verification of employment for every employee, even U.S. citizens. Penalties for non-compliance can be painful, including fines and even potentially prison. Bellevue and Seattle I-9 attorney Barbara Marcouiller can help you establish a clean easy-to-maintain system, train your HR or onboarding staff, and represent you during a government audit.
