Immigration Law

Immigration law has become an even more exciting and dynamic field as a result of the opening of the world markets and expanding trade. BMD's team of experienced immigration attorneys can assist and guide U.S. businesses, individuals, universities, colleges, hospitals and institutions in obtaining the appropriate work visa, or employment based permanent residency, or green card.
