James C.T. Hsia is the founder of James C.T. Hsia & Associates. Mr. Hsia started practicing immigration law in 1984, focusing on employment-based immigration and H1B visas. He has successfully filed several hundreds of visa applications every year and is well known for his honesty, diligence and accuracy.
Employment Based Immigrant Visas are different than temporary employment-based nonimmigrant visas, in particular requirements. Filing the appropriate employment based immigrant visa application requires a deep understanding of the goals of both - the foreign employee and the business seeking to hire.
Employment-based immigration is a complex process that may involve a number of government agencies within the United States Department of Labor, the State Department of Labor, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the Department of State (DOS). Various employment-based pathways are available to foreign nationals seeking permanent resident status (a "Green Card").
Individuals who wish to work temporarily in the United States must hold a nonimmigrant visa specified for the type of work being performed and for the purpose of travel to the United States. Various categories (classifications) of nonimmigrant visas are available to individuals to work temporarily in the United States.
The E visa category is available to citizens of countries which have a treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation (FCN), bilateral investment treaty (BIT) or free trade agreement (e.g.

Never hire this lawyer. His team only knew how to take your $$ and then they will found all the excuses for delaying your case. They are very good at finding excuses but very sloppy in handling things for you. They made mistakes but denied their responsibilities. I will never hire this lawyer again.

Professional, efficient, and responsive
James Hsia & Associates came highly recommended by my friends. When the attorneys were working on my case, I felt very comfortable communicating with them regarding my questions. They helped me effectively throughout the entire process. I couldn’t hope for a better lawyer.

My experience with Jim Hsia was really good. Very good and professional law firm in the NOVA. They deal with a lot of clients with respect to immigration process. They give you clear information and checklist before the start of the process including the cost involved. Trust me, Jim has a vast experience in immigration law and my overall experience with him has been amazing. I would highly recommend.
