What Employers Need to Know: Corporate Immigration Procedure, I-9 Audits And DHS/DOL Investigations

Hand shake

More than ever before, businesses that employ international workers are being monitored closely by the United States government. In fact, nearly 2,500 audits of businesses took place in the last year.

At Maiona Ward Immigration Law, we know the risks associated with an audit or a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or Department of Labor (DOL) investigation, and we work diligently to help employers proactively prevent trouble. Lawyers at our Boston, Massachusetts, law firm use more than 25 years of collective experience to guide our clients through the complex web of United States immigration law and Department of Labor regulations. Our goal is to protect their interests, helping to ensure that immigration concerns never interfere with business revenues.

Our Global Immigration Management Practice consults with businesses that have multiple U.S. and international locations, regarding immigration tracking and compliance plans for employees. We review I-9 forms to make sure each is completed correctly. We will make sure your human resources department and record-keeping procedures are efficient and adequate. Our review is thorough, and our goal is to catch potential mistakes before the federal government does.

During an I-9 or H-1B audit, our experienced attorneys can help you respond to the Department of Labor or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. We take quick and effective action to make sure that your interests and rights are protected.

eVerify And Your business

As our clients know, eVerify registration is now mandatory for employers doing business with the federal or state government and in certain circumstances necessary for the continued employment of foreign students upon graduation. Attorneys at our firm navigate the eVerify process on our clients' behalf, helping clients complete mandatory registration and effectively use the eVerify system. Experience has taught us that there are many misconceptions about eVerify, and we help address those misconceptions upfront — before employers run into trouble.

At Maiona Ward Immigration Law, our focus is on ensuring that our clients remain compliant with all laws and regulations governing United States immigration. Attorneys at our firm work with employers to develop innovative solutions that proactively address potential vulnerabilities. We then implement programs that comply with United States immigration laws.
