STUDENT & EXCHANGE VISAS

The attorneys of Solow, Hartnett and Galvan know how academic immigration issues surrounding student visas are often times multi-faceted. An example of this could be that you’re in the US on an F-1 student visa but you are also looking for a tenure-track job. Another scenario could be that you have J-1 status and need help filing a 212(e) waiver to overcome the two-year home-stay requirement in order to take a job or post-doc in the United States immediately. Perhaps you find yourself in the unfortunate position of inadvertently falling out of F-1 non-immigrant status and you need to file for reinstatement of your student status. These types of issues are all things that our attorneys at Solow, Hartnett and Galvan Immigration Law are ready and willing to provide the precise advice you need at rates that are within a students’ reach.

Solow, Hartnett and Galvan Immigration Law attorneys are available to provide student organizations and schools with seminars about FAQs pertaining to immigration and being a foreign student in the United States. Our attorneys believe that this type of information should be made readily available and even provided as a public service. Accordingly, we typically provide these info sessions as a complimentary service to interested organizations and schools.
