We invite you to our free online immigration salon on September 22, 2012. Our discussion will focus on how to present a stronger case for EB-1A, EB-1B and NIW petitions. What sets our online salon apart from other seminars is that we will have three attorneys from FYZ Law Group, LLP sharing their advice and unique practical experiences on how to enhance your chance of approval under:

1. EB-1A and EB-1B Green Card petitions for scholars; and
2. National Interest Waiver Green Card petitions.
With thirty years of combined experience in immigration law and high success rates with EB-1A, EB-1B and NIW cases, our attorneys will provide valuable insight into these specialized petitions.
We will present the seminar in Chinese.
