Shaoul Aslan focuses his practice on a wide range of immigration and nationality matters, representing both corporate clients and individuals before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly Immigration and Naturalization Service), the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Labor.
In representing corporate clients and family companies, Shaoul counsels on immigration matters pertaining to international transfer of personnel and other immigration-related issues. Typically, this involves developing an appropriate strategy to obtain the necessary nonimmigrant visa classification to permit employment authorization for the transferred employees and their dependents, obtaining the required approvals from the Citizenship and Immigration Services, and the issuance of the visa to the employee and his or her dependents. The counseling may also involve obtaining permanent resident status for the employee and his and her dependents.
Shaoul advises individuals on both nonimmigrant and immigrant visa options, as well as citizenship and retention or relinquishment of permanent residency status. In particular, he advises clients on visa investment opportunities, including EB-5 investments, and works with tax consultants to develop and implement immigration strategies in coordination with tax implications for such strategies.
