Immigration to France

French immigration law is codified in the Code of Entry and Stay of Foreigners and Rights of Asylum (Code de l'entrée et du séjour des étrangers et du droit d'asile (CESEDA) and is a branch of the law of its own, which is subject to constant change. A practitioner must not only know the law in this field but also standard practices at the Préfectures, French Consulates and the Labor Ministry (DIRECCTE). We accompany our clients in visa requests before the French Consulates worldwide, and assist our clients in their administrative formalities and appeals before the Préfectures and administrative courts.

Immigration to the United States

Our clientele for U.S. immigration are in particular investors and companies looking to invest and establish themselves in the United States, by creation of a commercial enterprise, the acquisition of an enterprise, or the transfer of employees. Unless an individual can travel under the Visa Waiver Program, any foreign person seeking to enter the United States must submit a visa request before the U.S. Consulate. Certain visas require a request before USCIS, the National Visa Center and may require a Labor Certification Application. Our firm facilitates the immigration of individuals, but also the establishment of companies in the 50 States of the United States for its French clients, in particular in order to prepare investment and commercial visas (such as E-1 and E-2 visas) and work visas (L-1, H-1B, etc.).
