In today's global economy, companies are conducting more and more business on a worldwide scale. A recurring scenario for these companies is the necessity for an employee to assume a temporary assignment at a facility in a foreign country. While the need for these foreign assignments is critical, the logistics of how to expeditiously and efficiently manage the transfer is often overwhelming. In order to meet companies' global immigration needs, Serotte, Reich & Wilson (SRW) has a department dedicated to Global Transfers. In addition to offering our clients extensive experience with U.S. immigration law, we also work with multinational companies in obtaining foreign work and residential legal authorization for their employees. Our comprehensive services include:

• Receipt, preparation, and delivery of all relevant instructions and forms;

• Attending to the legalization and translation of all documents;

• Securing visa issuance.

Our expertise also serves as quality control, not only to a company's needs, but also to the specific needs of each employee. For example, if the employee is not a U.S. citizen, there may be other important issues to consider, such as protecting green card rights, obtaining reentry permits, and protecting the option for naturalization. When companies transfer their employees to and from the United States, they require counseling and representation based on specialized international expertise. Our mission is to facilitate these transfers so that companies can reach their full potential and focus on remaining competitive in their respective marketplaces.
