Achieve your business goals.

No matter what your immigration program looks like today and no matter where your business goals are taking you next, at some point you’re going to deal with governments.

From challenging unjustified denials through litigation, to responding to government investigations or even advocating to shape government immigration policies to meet your company’s needs, working with governments can be time-consuming and overwhelming.

Fragomen is an influential voice in the realm of immigration regulations and policy worldwide. Many members of our dedicated Government Strategies and Compliance Group served as senior government officials, so they understand the ins and outs of government and help clients to navigate shifting political currents every day.

Our unmatched and bespoke government advisory consultation services can make government processes smoother and more manageable to help you achieve your business goals.

Here’s how:

Respected relationships with governments worldwide.

Fragomen maintains strong working relationships with government authorities around the globe. And since we have been on the other side, we can often anticipate next moves before they happen. When there are emergencies or unexpected results, our ability to work with local authorities may lead to a quicker resolution that is fair and just.

We are also a trusted advisor and often the first port of call for governments seeking input on immigration policy. Fragomen partners are often invited to present testimony on immigration policy and its effect on the business community before various legislatures and organizations, including the United Nations.

Fragomen has government relations resources in each region worldwide.

Dedicated government strategies team.

Through the experience, relationships and goodwill that the members of our Government Strategies team have developed over decades, they have an unparalleled ability to analyze early warning information about policy developments, adjudication trends and enforcement trends, and to keep your company ahead of them. Many of our top immigration professionals have held important immigration-related government positions in the past, and they know how to approach key decision-makers when our clients need help.

Our Government Strategies group also has dedicated branches that concentrate on enforcement defense, crisis management and litigation in certain jurisdictions.

Strategic consultation and tailored solutions.

From in-depth government guidance to advocacy support, our experienced government strategies professionals can help you craft targeted and innovative strategies for success.

Our services include:

      • Government strategies advice, analysis and policy-level advocacy
      • Representation in government enforcement investigations and audits
      • Advice for complex individual cases
      • Advice on the immigration implications of criminal activity
      • Immigration-related discrimination matters
      • H-1B LCA, I-9 and E-Verify compliance support and federal litigation representation
