Brown Immigration Law focuses on delivering successful corporate immigration solutions to support employers and foreign talent in a variety of high-growth startups and established businesses across the U.S. and beyond.
We provide timely and effective immigration services, specializing in all aspects of employment-based sponsorship, from nonimmigrant visas to permanent residency, and comprehensive strategies to support the short- and long-term goals of corporate clients and their highly skilled workers. Our approach is to make the complex, simple – we handle the details so our clients may realize their dreams.
Custom Employment-Based Immigration Solutions
Every business is unique, as is every immigration scenario. Working primarily with companies based in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area, we understand the sense of urgency in high-growth industries as well as the critical and personal nature of the process to the employee. We balance those concerns by prioritizing efficiency and quality in everything we do.
Our support extends beyond the preparation and filing of immigration paperwork. We provide strategic roadmaps tailored to clients’ short- and long-term goals by partnering with the company and each employee to understand their needs and deliver timely and effective results.
U.S. Immigration Services
We provide comprehensive support for U.S. companies seeking to employ highly skilled workers in the United States. Our team has extensive experience in a wide range of nonimmigrant classifications such as H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, J-1, F-1, and other temporary visa options. We also support every step of the green card process, including Permanent Labor Certification, I-140 Immigrant Petitions for all preference categories, and Adjustment of Status or immigrant visa processing.
Canadian Immigration Services
We provide broad support for various Canadian immigration processes, focusing on skilled workers transferring to Canada and other individual Canadian immigration filings. This includes U.S. citizens with Canadian job offers, work permits for non-U.S. citizens under Canada’s Temporary Foreign Work Program and its International Mobility Program (IMP), among others. We also support paths to permanent residency, including express entry.
Global Visa Services
We take the time to understand client needs and support global mobility at all levels of the organization. We assist with business travel across all countries and work with leading firms around the world to provide global visa services for short- and long-term employment outside of the U.S. and Canada.

In a major shift affecting many H-1B visa holders, the U.S. government has quietly rolled back the visa interview waiver eligibility—commonly known as “Dropbox”—from 48 months to just 12 months. This change, which has not yet been officially announced by the Department of State (DOS) or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), has been confirmed by multiple sources.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the DOS extended Dropbox eligibility to applicants whose prior visa had expired within the last 48 months, easing the renewal process and reducing backlogs at the consulates. Now, that policy has been seemingly modified, requiring that prior visas must have expired within just 12 months to qualify.
President Trump and his representatives had promised over a hundred executive actions on day 1, and a review of the Whitehouse.gov website confirms nearly 50 such orders confirmed as of early this morning. As a law firm created and managed with a fidelity and reverence for the rule of law it was striking to find that he pardoned or commuted the sentences of individuals who committed acts of violence against police and federal officials while attempting to prevent the Congress from discharging its duty on January 6, 2021 to recognize the lawful election of Joe Biden. Such actions do not demonstrate respect for the rule of law or a society based on such rules, and it underscores the concerns we have about how the prior Trump Administration conducted its immigration policy. We will be paying close attention to any new policies and will vigorously support and advocate for our clients.
This squarely fits under a Tale of Two Administrations. The Biden Administration, which can be credited with meaningful advances in immigration policy and regulation (notably, without any major immigration legislative achievements), has taken one final action with a final rule titled “Modernizing H–1B Requirements, Providing Flexibility in the F–1 Program, and Program Improvements Affecting Other Nonimmigrant Workers.” This regulation is generally intended to streamline and codify existing policies in advance of the Trump Administration’s promise to be a change agent.
On December 17, 2024, the Department of Homeland Security announced a final rule with updates to the H-1B program. Per the USCIS update, this rule intends to modernize “the H-1B program by streamlining the approval process, increasing its flexibility to better allow employers to retain talented workers, and improving the integrity and oversight of the program.”
