Editorial Verdict

Why Choose Parker Gallini?

Most immigration firms either serve large corporations exclusively or handle individual cases in high volume without much depth. Parker Gallini found the gap: the growing business — the Series A startup hiring its first ten engineers abroad, the founder on an E-2 visa expanding to the US, the mid-market company that needs a senior attorney on the phone, not a case manager. The founders bring over 25 years of combined experience, and their national Tier 1 ranking from Best Law Firms proves the quality. Clients consistently highlight fast communication and attorneys who explain immigration in plain language — an unusually welcome trait in a field often buried in jargon.

What Clients Say

Client
Anand P.
H-1B → EB-2 NIW · Cambridge, MA
★★★★★
"Parker Gallini handled my EB-2 NIW as a researcher with incredible thoroughness. They structured the petition around my publication record and impact, filed everything perfectly, and I was approved in under six months. Sarah Coleman is exceptional."
Client
Founder, Boston SaaS Startup
Startup Immigration Program · Waltham
★★★★★
"We hired Parker Gallini as our startup's immigration counsel when we were seed-stage. They helped us understand which visas made sense for the talent we wanted to hire internationally. Now at Series B, they still handle our entire immigration program. Transparent, fast, and actually know startup culture."
Client
Maria T.
Family Green Card · Boston
★★★★★
"I was nervous about the family visa process. Victoria Morte walked me through every step in clear, plain language. No immigration jargon. No hidden complexity. My mother's green card was approved without a single RFE. They are as good as it gets."

FAQ

Common Immigration Questions

Is Parker Gallini a good fit for a small startup hiring its first international employee?
Yes. The firm was founded specifically to serve this market. They understand startup constraints — timeline pressure, budget sensitivity, and the need to move fast — and have worked with companies from seed stage through growth and acquisition. A consultation will clarify whether your visa situation is straightforward or complex.
What is an EB-2 NIW and who qualifies?
The EB-2 National Interest Waiver allows qualifying individuals to self-petition for a green card — without a specific employer sponsor — if their work has substantial merit and national importance, and they are well-positioned to advance that work. Researchers, scientists, engineers, doctors, and entrepreneurs in high-impact fields are common candidates. Parker Gallini has significant experience building strong NIW petitions.
Can a foreign entrepreneur start a company in the US and get a visa?
Yes — though there is no single dedicated "startup visa" in the US. Entrepreneurs typically use E-2 (treaty country nationals who invest substantial capital), O-1A (extraordinary ability), L-1 (intracompany transfer if there's a foreign parent), or EB-1C (multinational manager). Parker Gallini advises founders on which path best fits their business structure and personal background.
What is I-9 compliance and why does it matter for employers?
Every US employer must complete Form I-9 to verify that employees are authorized to work in the United States. Errors, missing forms, or improperly reverified documents can result in fines of $250 to $2,500 per violation — and repeat violations face much higher penalties. Parker Gallini conducts I-9 audits and helps employers correct deficiencies before an ICE inspection.
Does the firm handle family immigration in addition to business cases?
Yes. While the firm is particularly well-known for business immigration, they also handle family-based green cards, spousal visas, parent sponsorships, and other family immigration matters. Contact the firm to discuss whether your personal situation falls within their current practice scope.
