The SDD Global Solutions Immigration Department, with highly-skilled personnel trained and supervised by U.S. immigration counsel at SmithDehn LLP, provides international immigration services, specializing in working and training visas to the United States. SDD Global provides affordable immigration solutions for businesses and professionals in all industries and fields.

Given the seismic changes in U.S. immigration and related employment laws expected to be made by the recently elected 110th U.S. Congress by way of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, SDD Global is poised and ready to provide a wealth of immigration services to the U.S. market.

SDD Global knows that a successful immigration legal services practice is only as good as its personnel. In today’s fast-paced and fast-changing environment, the personnel required for a successful immigration practice must be specialized, adaptable and technologically savvy.

SDD Global provides individualized assistance with routine immigration processing, but strictly does not practice U.S. immigration law i.e. SDD Global cannot provide the type of legal advice required for more complex immigration matters.  However, trained SDD Global personal can provide referrals upon request to established U.S. lawyers anywhere in the United States, and for any country in the world.  As SDD Global handles immigration processing for U.S. lawyers in many complex immigration matters, it has a good relationship with many distinguished U.S. law firms and individual practitioners.  Not least among these is SmithDehn LLP, the law firm that manages SDD Global.

SDD Global stands ready to provide the following immigration services:

(1)Processing of “Specialists” in their field, expert in the alphabet soup of U.S. Immigration

SDD Global is ready to process and secure visas for specialists, thanks to its unique partnership with New York-based SmithDehn LLP , whose U.S. counsel has comprehensive knowledge and expertise in U.S. immigration practice and visa policy. SDD Global also has access to the resources and expertise of other partner law firms.  SDD Global can help provide comprehensive assistance with O-1 visas (“extraordinary workers”), P visas (for entertainers and individuals with “culturally unique” skills), H visas (specialists in their particular field), J visas (college and graduate students and professional development training programs), L visas (transfers of managerial executive and highly skilled works of multinational corporations), B visas (business travelers), and I visas ( foreign journalists and other media personnel), and many other visa categories.

(2) Capacity to handle a large increase in H-1B visas

Revived U.S. legislation proposes to increase the number of H-1B visas from 65,000/annum to between 115,000 to 200,000/annum.  SDD Global stands ready to handle the resulting increased workload.   Indeed, it is ideally suited for the mission, given the fact that the majority of these visas will be granted to Indian professionals seeking to work in the U.S.

(3) Expertise in the Guest Worker Program

Whereas uncertainty remains about the terms and conditions of the much-discussed Guest Worker Program, which would match willing foreign employees to a U.S. employers, when such a program become law, SDD Global will have a system in place to process hundreds of thousands of applications through the immigration system for this program.

(4) Permanent Resident (“Green Cards’) and Naturalization Processing

SDD Global is well versed in processing applications for permanent residency “green cards” and can its clients obtain U.S. citizenship.

(5) Employment Eligibility Verification System  

Under revived legislation to be further defined by the U.S. Congress, tougher sanctions will be imposed on employers who do not verify the immigration status of their current and future labor-force. Mandatory electronic verification systems will be put into effect for all employers.

Current technology, procedures and databases available to U.S. multinationals are cost- prohibitive and subject to extreme inaccuracies.  Additionally, there is a high risk of privacy breaches. SDD Global, however, has devised a fail-safe secure system that will be very cost-effective to its U.S. clientele and meet their needs.

(6) Immigration management team.  

The Company’s immigration division is supervised by Priya Kumar, who has been working in the field of immigration law for several years.
 

The best immigration practices have traditionally required large amounts of physical work and filing space to process and maintain their clients’ immigration matters.  No more.  SDD Global is ready to process thousands of applications thanks to its use of an Application Service Provider (“ASP”) or Extranet system, bridging SDD Global’s expertise and its clients via the Internet. 

Our ASP allows us to interact 24/7 with our clients, their employers and supervising attorneys on visa petitions and applications with password-protected individual accounts through a secured server.  To assist its immigration clientele, SDD Global assigns a Case Assistant to every individual being processed by SDD Global.  This person works with a mandate that every case s/he supervises receives the proper attention it deserves by making sure that all documents, filings, queries and attorney communications are done in a timely and effective manner so that only the best results are assured.

This system allows 24 hour communication and sharing of information between SDD Global and its clients, providing the best immigration assistance and obviating frustrating, expensive and time-consuming phone calls to U.S. government departments, or the often fruitless and confusing Internet research which clients experience.
 

SDD Global believes in making the best and most accurate information on immigration laws and procedures available to the general public. Unfortunately, the internet is littered with scam artists and inaccurate information. The following links are to reputable websites which SDD Global recommends. As a result of the wealth and diversity of information available, SDD Global can help navigate its clients through the morass to arrive at the best available immigration solution.

The Comprehensive Immigration Act as proposed by the U.S. Senate would provide various paths to legal status with differing requirements for an number of the estimated 11-12 million undocumented immigrants who live, work and pay taxes in the U.S. The reform measures promise to: 

  • Greatly reduce the immigration backlogs that currently cause family separation and business frustration;
  • Expand and reform the existing H-2A guest worker program for agricultural workers (AgJOBS) and create a new H-2C program granting up to 200,000 annual visas for low-skilled workers and others whose job types are not covered by current guest worker provisions;  
  • Expand the “Basic Pilot” electronic employment eligibility verification system -- currently being used on a voluntary basis by a few thousand employers -- to a mandatory program that must be applied to all 50 million annual new hires in the U.S.; 
  • The proposed Act  declares  English to be the "national language" of the U.S. and would provide that, unless otherwise provided by law, individuals do not have a legal entitlement to services or materials in any other language.
