Established in 1951, Fragomen has grown from a respected domestic U.S. immigration law practice to a truly global organization. Our expansion has been a direct result of our strategic decision to establish offices in the markets where our clients would benefit from our on-the-ground presence. We intend to maintain our status as the largest and leading immigration services provider by extending our service capabilities and our global presence to meet our clients’ needs and market demands.
