Complying With U.S. Immigration Laws
If you employ foreign nationals with H-1B visas you could be selected for an I-9 audit or workplace inspection. If I-9 forms for every employee are not on the premises, you may be facing expensive litigation, monetary fines, reduced productivity and a public relations nightmare.

Plan Ahead for Employer Compliance Audits
Regular, preemptive self-audits are the best way to prepare for an immigration compliance audit. At Maiona Ward, we can help you through the self-audit process and put your mind at ease, should U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services' Fraud Detection and National Security investigators or Immigration & Customs Enforcement investigators come knocking.
We will make sure your human resources department and record keeping procedures are efficient and adequate, covering all information that may be requested by the U.S. government.
Responding to an I-9 or H-1B Audit
These days, immigration employer sanctions are being enforced much more strictly than in the past. Instead of raiding companies and arresting workers, the government is now holding the employers responsible for immigration violations.
During an I-9 or H-1B audit, our experienced attorneys can help you respond to the Department of Labor or U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement officers. We will go through your I-9s and other documentation in order to identify and correct any problems. If you are subject to an audit, the best thing you can do for your situation is to be forthcoming about any potential issues.
If you are being audited, don't panic. Contact our skilled team of lawyers to protect your business. Call Maiona Ward at 617-695-2220 or contact us online.
