San Francisco Bay Area, San Jose & Silicon Valley

Visas, Green Cards, and Citizenship for the People who build Silicon Valley

Located in the heart of Silicon Valley — near Stanford University and Menlo Park's Sand Hill Road — Heller Immigration Law Group has counseled companies, venture-backed and early-stage startups, founders and HR teams on their immigration needs for more than 30 years. Immigration is a federal practice, so we handle cases throughout the country — including clients in San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Fremont, and Cupertino, and internationally.

This firm is not an H-1B mill, and it never has been. We don't crunch out cookie-cutter cases for large companies — the same petition, copied a hundred times. We work with large companies too, but every case is built around the person in it: their record, their history, their timing. Each matter is given individual attention. These days, USCIS scrutinizes every single matter to the utmost degree — and that is exactly where this way of working pays off: a case built around the person, with the record to support it, holds up under that scrutiny.
