Timing considerations can be especially sensitive for these cases.

The immigration attorneys of Rabinowitz & Rabinowitz, P.C. represent and counsel a wide range of clients from private individuals to domestic and multinational corporations and investors in all aspects of United States immigration law including complex immigration issues…
Rabinowitz & Rabinowitz, P.C. represents prospective investors with strategic U.S. immigration planning and the implementation of comprehensive visa solutions to support business goals. Foreign-born persons seeking a U.S. immigration status based on investment in or engaging in trade through a business in the U.S. have both temporary and permanent visa options. Nonimmigrant visa benefits permit investors and certain key employees to temporarily conduct business in the U.S. These nonimmigrant investor visa statuses are available through the provisions of special treaties between the U.S. and the country of which the individual visa applicant is a national. Some of these international agreements authorize E-1 Treaty Trader visa status, others authorize E-2 Treaty Investor status, while other agreements provide for both types of investment-based nonimmigrant visas. Investors seeking a more permanent U.S. immigration status might consider EB-5 immigrant investor visas whether by direct individual investment or by participation in a designated Regional Center.
Rabinowitz & Rabinowitz, P.C. represents multinational businesses in strategic planning and the design of comprehensive solutions which provide a smooth and cost-effective path for the movement of international personnel into the U.S. The L-1 intracompany transferee classification can be an exceptionally useful tool for qualifying multinational business entities. In contrast to the H1-B nonimmigrant visa classification, the L-1 nonimmigrant visa classification is not subject to an annual numerical cap on petition approvals. Predicated on the existence of qualifying relationships between the foreign and U.S. business entities, certain executive, managerial and specialized knowledge employees may be admitted to the U.S. in L-1 status to work for either new or existing U.S. businesses. In lieu of filing individual L-1 petitions in the U.S., some multinational businesses qualify to file blanket L-1 petitions. The nonimmigrant intracompany transferee benefit has its parallel in the immigrant visa context, allowing certain qualifying individuals to obtain lawful permanent resident status.
Rabinowitz & Rabinowitz, P.C. begins all H1-B cases by analyzing both the present and future needs and goals of the employer and employee, and focuses on strategic immigration planning with an eye to a comprehensive solution that best supports staffing stability on the business side, corporate compliance programs that provide peace of mind to the employer, and a roadmap for the future for the foreign-born employee. These visas provide temporary, employer-specific work authorization that is tied to specialty occupation positions requiring a bachelor’s or higher level college degree in the specialty, and the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge. The annual H1-B visa numerical cap has been a frustrating factor for businesses and prospective employees alike, though a creative analysis of employer needs and beneficiary qualifications can sometimes yield insights into which alternative nonimmigrant visa classifications might enable employment outside of the cap. Porting provisions for H1-B changes of employers can provide relief from processing time waits for some businesses and employees.
Rabinowitz & Rabinowitz, P.C. represents U.S. employers and their Canadian and Mexican employees in thoroughly documenting eligibility for TN status (including the more difficult Management Consultant cases), in drafting visa applications and preparing Mexican employees for their visa interviews, and in advising Canadian employees about port of entry and pre-flight inspection processing of their applications for admission. Among the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a special nonimmigrant status for qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens who seek authorization to work in the United States at a professional level in specifically named occupations for an identified U.S. employer. Canadian citizens entering the U.S. in TN status are visa exempt; but, Mexican citizens entering the U.S. in TN status must obtain a visa. Unlike H1-B and L-1 visas, there is no statutory limit on consecutive years spent in TN status, but TN beneficiaries must prove that they intend to return home and that they do not intend to immigrate to the U.S..
At Rabinowitz & Rabinowitz, P.C., we perform comprehensive analyses of employment-based immigrant visa options in every case, and craft individualized solutions that provide the smoothest and most timely path for case resolution, all with an eye to cost-effective service. With limited exceptions, immigrant visa petitions for Second and Third preference employment-based immigrants require an approved labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Employers must demonstrate and in turn DOL must certify that with respect to the position offered to the prospective immigrant, there is no U.S. worker who could be found who is able, willing, qualified and available to assume the position in the area of intended employment. Employers must also demonstrate that the employment of the prospective immigrant will not have an adverse effect on the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers who are similarly employed. As part of this process, employers must perform a test of the U.S. labor market which involves active recruitment that satisfies the requirements of the regulations.
Rabinowitz & Rabinowitz, P.C. understands the exceptional sense of time compression felt by both U.S. citizen petitioners and foreign-born beneficiaries. We work diligently to promptly move cases through the preparation stages to filing stages, monitor cases closely as they progress through the government agencies involved, and keep clients up to date about case status and expected time lines, answering the questions that may contribute to peace of mind. We never forget that what drives K-1 cases are family dreams, and we strive to have the visa processing be as smooth as possible for our clients. Technically a nonimmigrant visa authorizing only a limited period of stay in the U.S., the K-1 visa is nonetheless designed for and at its consular application stage is processed as if it were intended for an immigrant. The K-1 nonimmigrant must seek to enter the U.S. solely to marry the U.S. citizen petitioner and must in fact marry that person within 90 days in order to go forward with the next stage of processing that will ultimately result in conditional lawful permanent resident (Green Card) status.
At Rabinowitz & Rabinowitz, P.C., we provide comprehensive solutions and cost-effective service that respect the corporate bottom line and personal finances. Whether employment- or family-based immigrant status is sought, applicants embracing the goal of living permanently in the United States are looking for an experienced analysis of available benefits and possible impediments, timely case preparation and processing, and personalized and proactive service from a trusted advisor. There are two principal bases through which individuals can obtain lawful permanent resident (Green Card) status – employment in the U.S. and close relatives who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. Under these two broad categories of potential eligibility appear numerous sub-classifications, each with its own eligibility requirements and strategic opportunities. Some of these categories require a waiting period that is dependent primarily on government processing time. Other categories have visa waiting periods of varying lengths due to the annual numerical limit on visas allocated on the basis of the “chargeability” of the prospective immigrant to a particular country.
At Rabinowitz & Rabinowitz, P.C., we recognize the deep personal significance of the decision to apply for U.S. citizenship and feel privileged to represent our clients in this process. In its simplest variants, U.S. citizenship may either be acquired at birth in the U.S. or result from an application to naturalize filed by a qualifying lawful permanent resident. There is, though, a surprisingly long list of alternative ways that a person is deemed to be or becomes a citizen of the U.S., including by acquisition at birth abroad and by the naturalization of one or both parents. In whatever manner U.S. citizenship is legally recognized, it carries with it important rights, responsibilities and benefits. U.S. citizens, including those who became citizens by naturalization, may file immigrant visa petitions for spouses, minor children, and parents outside of the system of numerical limitations. An application for naturalization is the U.S. government’s last opportunity to review a foreign-born person’s U.S. immigration history; as such, a careful evaluation of eligibility is crucial and a properly prepared application is imperative.
Mr. Rabinowitz has served me and my family for almost 20 years and is a great immigration attorney. He has been a great resource to us and has offered assistance every step of the way. I would recommend him to all my friends and family.
I came to the USA on a H1B visa en 2007. Mr. Rabinowitz handled the whole process of getting my work visa in my country of origin. Then, he managed to get it renewed twice during the course of 7 years for me and my family. After this, came the application to the green card. Again, he managed to get me and my family a green card with no issues during the long process. Finally, after waiting 5 years on the green card I convinced myself Mr. Rabinowitz is the MAN to get us on the right path to citizenship. Again, the application process was quick and never had any issues on the acceptance and my documents by USCIS. I want to give thanks from all my heart to Mr. Rabinowitz. He is a very professional dedicated who delivers RESULTS. If you want results, come to to see Mr. Rabinowitz. He will treat you with the respect and dignity every immigrant deserves. Thank you again Mr. Rabinowitz.
I met Mr. Rabinowitz for the first time in 2015 when I had reached out to him in regards to my immigration case. He immediately jumped right onto it and assisted me navigate through a long but fulfilling process in me attainting the results I wanted. He is very professional, diligent with his work and keeps you updated whenever needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.
Excellent service!
I have had a very good experience.
Mr Rabinowitz has a lot of experience and his work is very professional.
Mr. Stewart Rabinowitz handled the immigration (change of status) case for my wife and her three children. Mr. Rabinowitz is very responsive, gave us sound advice and counsel and layed out the likely path to success. With much appreciation, we got an interview faster than expected and now we have green cards in hand. During the interview, Mr. Rabinowitz was lauded by the Immigration Officer for the thorough and orderly way that the cases were presented. Mr. Rabinowitz was "with us" every step of the way. He is a pleasant person with a good sense of humor and is fastidious in responding to questions and phone calls. I recommend him wholeheartedly and will use him again.
Me. Rabinowitz is one of the best Immigration Lawyers I could ask for. He is very professional and very efficient on his Work. He helped me out on my immigration process all through the end.

Over the course of 2 years Stewart helped my family and I navigate from an L1B visa to a L1A to finally a green card.
Stewart is able to inspire confidence throughout what can be a very challenging process. He is very efficient in his work, with great attention to detail.
My family and I are grateful to have had Stewart handling our case and I would highly recommend working with his firmfor any immigration matters.
Stewart was professional and friendly during the entire process. He explained everything clearly and kept us informed as to what we needed to do through the entire process. I highly recommend his services.
Like many people going through the immigration process, we were stressed and uncertain of our future in the US- a country we have come to love over the years. The path to obtaining a Green Card is complicated and we needed the right person to navigate us through this undertaking and without a question this was Stewart Rabinowitz. Stewart brings a tremendous amount of knowledge, expertise and years of experience working specifically with immigration cases. He knows the system, he understands the potential pitfalls and he thinks outside of the box. And perhaps what struck us most, is his clear passion for his job. Stewart cares immensely and he genuinely wants to help people. He gave us hope in a trying time and that means more than we can ever express. Today we are proud Green Card holders and we owe this to Stewart and his firm.
I have done business with Mr Rabinowitz over a span of 20 years. I have engaged him in at least 3 different tasks over the years. He has been meticulous in his work and representation. Communication is quick and process clearly explained. Expectations are properly set with all possible scenarios discussed and presented. Work with him and he will provide you the best possible advise and guidance. Thank you for your service Stewart!
Good service
Me and my wife would like to recommend Stewart Rabinowitz,
To anyone that needs help with Immigration in the USA. (Si Habla Español )
Exactly a year ago we search the web for a law firm that could help and guide us with our "immigration needs".
Stewart pricing was affordable comparing with some other firms in the DFW area and he seemed very attentive and knowledgable.
We started the process right away, it was not easy and there was a lot of paper work that needed to be filed, luckily stewart was always there to guide us and making sure everything is getting done in a timely manner.
We are writing this review with many thanks to Stewart after our case was approved last week.
Very professional and personal service, Mr Stewart was very helpful and willing to go the extra mile to help me with my case. I will definitely use his services again.
Mr Rabinowitz has provided me with an excellent work on my application, promptly responded to my questions and concerns, very professional and straight forward with his customers, and most importanlty achieved my goal. I, with no hesitation, recommend him and his office colleagues to any of friends and family members.

I've known Rabinowitz & Rabinowitz for a number of years now outside of their law practice and have found them to be passionate about their work as well as the rest of their lives.
As President of the Denton County Amateur Radio Association, I've asked for assistance concerning our legal affairs and have received excellent information that has saved us from running afoul of the laws that effect our non-profit. We even received guidance on areas we hadn't considered.
The responses were, for the most part, easy to understand and when I had difficulty with an area, the patience shown in explaining the details was very much appreciated.
Finding caring people in the often impersonable world of law is of huge benefit to anyone.
