Hiring Expertise Is Tricky Business June 20, 2008 US companies are constantly seeking talent from all parts of the globe to remain competitive. When your company wants to hire a rising star who happens to be a foreign national, you need to have immigration legal experts at your side. Mr. Ron Wada, Senior Counsel at Tafapolsky and Smith LLP specializes in acquiring visas and appropriate immigration authorization for professionals, researchers, managers, executives, and individuals of extraordinary ability. Described as “a legal gem” in Chambers USA’s 2008 Clients Guide, Mr. Wada has authored a best selling book among immigration attorneys called “AILA's Focus on EB2 and EB3 Degree Equivalency.” The book describes how attorneys and employers can best navigate the confusing maze of unwritten rules that are applied by government examiners when interpreting a foreign national’s educational qualifications. Wada offers unique and timely solutions and a clear explanation of Degree Equivalency that is invaluable to success for the most common labor certification based green card applications. “The government’s degree equivalency rules have been a moving target, becoming more complex with each passing year, and have been a source of frustration for attorneys and employers alike,” says Ron Wada. Knowing in advance how the government will interpret an individual’s foreign education can make the difference between success and failure of a green card application. An application can remain pending for a year or more before a decision is made. If the application is delayed or denied, the employee’s green card as well as green cards for immediately family members can be delayed for years, resulting in uncertainty and aggravation for both employees and their employers. Mr. Wada is an editorial board member for the national law journal, Bender’s Immigration Bulletin, and will be available at the LexisNexis booth at the American Immigration Lawyers Association Annual Conference in Vancouver on Thursday, June 26th, and Friday, June 27th, from 4:30 to 5:30 pm on both days. He will be answering questions on degree relevancy and providing the latest legal updates.
