The Godfread Brown law office is dedicated to providing a complete immigration solution: efficient filing of immigration petitions, navigating the US immigration process with employers and employees, and providing immigration law compliance assurance and support for your organization.
Immigration laws and procedures are complex and ever-changing. Success in obtaining non-immigrant and immigrant visas requires knowledgeable, dedicated and experienced legal counsel. Ms. Godfread-Brown has a strong track record of success. Having served as in-house counsel responsible for overseeing the employment immigration status of several hundred international employees and thousands of international students she appreciates the challenges facing companies, universities, medical centers and hospitals in today's immigration environment.
It is increasingly important for employers not to run afoul of the immigration laws. Government agencies under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service are focused on enforcement and sanctions for employers. By her experience and involvement in national immigration law associations, Ms. Godfread-Brown has a "insider's" view of the employment based immigration issues and the solutions for large institutions who regularly hire from overseas. Clients are provided with in-house training to help them maintain compliance.
