Hunton & Williams is pleased to announce the release of its newly designed and mobile-responsive Immigration and Nationality Law Blog, www.huntonimmigrationlawblog.com. “Our immigration law blog has been a valuable resource for US employers,” said Ian Band, who heads the firm’s immigration and nationality practice. “This new version of the immigration law blog offers our readers easier and instant access to information in real time, more interactive features and the opportunity for greater analysis and comment on developments in US immigration law.”Begun in August 2009, Hunton & Williams’ immigration law blog has become a go-to resource for news and analysis on immigration issues.

The blog features information and legal commentary on a range of topics in the news, breaking legislation, recent court and regulatory decisions, and other news and analysis. The blog is managed by members of Hunton & Williams’ immigration team based in Washington, DC.Our immigration practice is part of the firm’s labor and employment team. Our work involves advising American and foreign businesses about obtaining the most appropriate temporary and permanent work visas for executives, professionals, and other skilled foreign workers. Careful planning and documentation are necessary to ensure the greatest chance of success. Firm lawyers advise clients on the structure and support necessary for successful applications to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the US Department of State, and other agencies that may be involved in a particular immigration matter. We also represent our clients in any negotiations or administrative proceedings before these agencies that are necessary to achieve the client’s objectives.

Our advice covers the prevailing wage issues associated with labor condition applications, as well as the advertising and recruiting requirements imposed by state employment agencies and the US Department of Labor for issuance of labor certifications. We also assist employers who wish to obtain permanent immigrant visas for key foreign executives or skilled employees.
