Immigration Law
I have been working with Foster for about 3 years. They are great to work with. They are available when my team and I have any questions. They are always professional. They are up-front with all the costs and generally provide us with the best quotes compared to other firms. They clearly lay out the applicable process, such as permanent residency, H1B, etc., using simple words which could be easily understood by different parties such as HR, employee, managers, leadership team, etc. If the strategy is too complex for the HR team to explain it to the leadership team, they step in and help us out.
