Stamford attorney diligently resolving immigration matters

Attorney Douglas Penn has a range of experience in immigration matters whether he is working on a family–based petition for permanent residency (a green card), an employment–based petition, a removal case or an appeal. 

Mr. Penn assists with immigrant and non-immigrant visas:

  • A non-immigrant visa permits you to travel to a U.S. port of entry and request permission of the Department of Homeland Security to visit for a specific purpose that might be for work, schooling, a conference or to visit the country, friends or family
  • An immigrant visa allows an individual to enter the United States to live and work permanently

For employers and employees

Mr. Penn provides legal assistance with obtaining permanent residence, including preparation and filing of:

  • Program Electronic Review Management (PERM) applications for labor certification that certifies:
    • A lack of qualified U.S. workers in your job category and once the labor shortage is certified, you can petition with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for your immigrant visa. Mr. Penn can navigate you through the PERM procedure because it is a complicated process
  • Extraordinary ability petitions for foreign nationals
  • Petitions for executives and managers
  • Immigrant petitions for qualified religious workers

Mr. Penn also assists employers with obtaining the appropriate temporary (non-immigrant) work visa for their employees, including:

  • Professional work visas (H-1B visas and similar visa categories, including H-1B1 for Singaporeans and Chileans and E-3s for Australians)
  • E-1 and E-2 visas for treaty traders and treaty investors
  • L-1A and L-1B visas for intra-company transferees
  • O visas for extraordinary foreign nationals
  • R visas for qualified religious workers
  • TN status for Canadian and Mexican professionals

For individuals and families

With family–based immigration, Mr. Penn provides advice and assistance with obtaining the appropriate visa to the United States, including marriage and family petitions, fiancée (K-1) and overseas spouse (K-3) visa processing. We assist family members with all steps towards immigrating to the United States, including consular processing and attending interviews at USCIS offices.

Mr. Penn also assists clients with applying for Unites States citizenship. He thoroughly reviews a client's immigration history when preparing the naturalization application and closely monitors the entire naturalization process. If a client requests, Mr. Penn attends their naturalization interviews.
