Ms. Annicelli has represented clients on a wide array of immigration matters, including family- and employment-based immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applications. She has represented professional athletes and clients in the healthcare, hospitality and information technology industries, among others. Ms. Annicelli also has extensive experience assisting clients in managing their immigration programs to remain compliant with relevant policies and regulations. She served as co-chair and moderator of the Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education, Inc. (MCLE) Immigration Conference in 2017, 2016 and 2015.
Ms. Fallon provides strategic immigration counsel, and develops and implements efficient processes for clients in the financial, architectural, technology, engineering, sports, fashion and non-profit industries, among many others. She advises human resources and global mobility leads on all major employment-based temporary and permanent visa categories and immigration compliance to help the companies meet their talent objectives across all jurisdictions. Ms. Fallon also advises clients on family-based permanent resident applications.
A highly connected, global economy makes cross-border collaboration more important than ever. Business and employment-based immigration allows companies to hire foreign professionals who may have skills, knowledge, and talent not available in the local labor market. For this reason, U.S. companies often need to have immigration strategies and protocols in place.
Immigration lawyers must understand the key routes to employment-based immigration, including temporary (non-immigrant work) visas and obtaining permanent residency through the PERM labor certification process or through PERM process alternatives.
Listen as our panel discusses the key concepts of business immigration, requirements for employment-based visas, routes to permanent residency, and key considerations for immigration attorneys and employers.
