Immigration lawyers in New Jersey

Immigration in New Jersey

New Jersey has one of the highest shares of immigrants of any state, and few places are as diverse as Hudson and Middlesex counties. Edison and Jersey City anchor one of the largest Indian-American communities in the nation, and the state's pharma corridor, the Port of Newark, and proximity to New York City drive constant skilled-worker demand. Major population centers include Newark, Jersey City, Edison and Paterson.

Practices here are heavy on H-1B, L-1, and EB green cards in pharma, finance, and IT, family immigration across dozens of communities, and a very busy asylum and removal docket at the Newark immigration court.
