Sonal Sharma — Founder
I’m an immigration attorney who’s lived the immigrant journey myself — across continents, legal systems, and career pivots. I founded my U.S.-based law firm to serve high-skilled professionals navigating complex immigration challenges. I’m known for delivering precise, honest legal guidance rooted in experience, strategy, and deep respect for what’s at stake. When it comes to corporate clients, I help them set up shop in the US and bring over key executives and managers through different visa routes like L visa, TN visa, E-3 Visa, E-1, and E-2. I also assist in bringing key professionals and employees to the US through visas like H1-B, H1B1, O-1, PERM Labor certifications, or EB-1c. And for individuals of exceptional talent, I help them self-sponsor their green cards through NIW and EB-1. For content creators, I'm here to break down how they can monetize their content while staying compliant with their visas. I also assist folks in bringing their family members to the US through various options available. Every client is unique, so I tailor solutions to fit your specific needs.
