Lin & Valdez, L.L.P.

Over the years, hosting seminars and speaking in public constitute an important part of our work. As of now, our attorneys continuously speak for different occasions and organizations. We do this because it is always our goal to provide the most update information to our clients, and we believe that by hosting and presiding in such activities our attorneys are also benefited by taking advantage of such opportunities to update their knowledge in immigration law.

For leaders of different organizations, we welcome your invitations to speak to members of your organization about immigration issues and our practice. Organizations we spoke to in the past include banks, chambers of commerce, accountant association, and religious organizations, and civic centers, just to name a few. Especially student associations, we particular cherish the opportunity to visit your campus to answer your questions regarding H-1, J-1 waiver, O-1, NIW, labor certification, applications for people of extraordinary ability, and other immigration issues. Our speech and seminar provide you the update information in immigration, and most importantly, they are free! If you think you would have at least 50 attendants for a seminar, please contact us or send e-mail to stewartl@wt.net to discuss with our staff for scheduling one in your campus or organization.
