The Heller Immigration Law Group, LLP provides a unique, proven approach to the practice of immigration law plus general and specialized legal services.

About Our Firm

Heller Immigration Law Group, LLP, aka (‘HILG’), is a boutique law firm specializing exclusively in business-based immigration. Having such a specialized niche distinguishes us from other law firms in that we are experts at employment based immigration and are constantly attuned to legal changes and aggressively work to impact legislation. We have been in business for 25+ years and have enjoyed tremendous growth since our inception.

Headquartered in Palo Alto (Silicon Valley), California, Heller Immigration Law Group, LLP also has affiliate offices in Troy, Michigan as well as operations in Austin, Texas, Honolulu, Hawaii, and Mumbai, India. Heller Immigration Law Group, LLP represents Fortune 1000 companies and has a unique understanding of immigration needs, especially in the IT sector. Much of this insight comes from the extensive experience of the firm’s staff and their involvement with professional organizations that focus on immigration issues related to the IT industry. Our experience, complemented by our technology and global position offers our clients exceptional, timely service in a changing, fast-paced industry. Heller Immigration Law Group, LLP is ready to assist you nationally or internationally.

The Heller Immigration Law Group’s cost structure and methodology are far superior due to the firm’s technology and global positioning. Our model has worked effectively for well over 1000 clients, some of whom file over 400 H-1B cases with us per year (with a 99% approval rate). The ability of our staff, the firm’s capacity, and our extra resources with extended hours allows us to be highly efficient, cost effective, and adds tremendous value to the immigration process.

The following characteristics distinguish our firm from our competitors:

• Service Offerings – Heller Immigration Law Group, LLP is one of the few law firms that offers global immigration. This is a significant efficiency gain for our clients as they only need to work with one law firm for all of their transnational immigration needs.
• Offshore Operations – Our firm was one of the pioneers in establishing an offshore legal operation in India. This excellent support system allows the Heller Immigration Law Group, LLP to offer services to our clients with greater speed, efficiency and value. We are ISO 9000 certified and apply Six Sigma methodologies to the ongoing improvement of our processes. Our back-office in India provides our clients with further value-addition. The Indian arms of international companies have the luxury of sending documents to this office in Mumbai, thus reducing shipping and handling costs, and increasing efficiency of operations. This also results in faster turn-around times for our client's applications.
• Technology – Our firm embraces the case management technology of INSZoom to process all immigration cases and facilitate client communication. In fact, Heller Immigration Law Group, LLP is a strategic partner with INSZoom where the two work together to continuously improve the application and the value it delivers to our clients.
• Outstanding Staff – Our dedicated and diverse staff has over 85 years of collective experience in immigration law and has depth of knowledge in a variety of industries such as Healthcare, Information Technology, Consulting, and Consumer Packaged Goods. Our clients appreciate the fact that members of our professional staff are fluent in most of the world’s major languages. If our team is deficient we will always consider bringing on new staff to meet your needs.
• Social Responsibility – We believe every corporation has a social responsibility to give back to society. Heller Immigration Law Group, LLP does that in two primary ways. Our state-of-the-art technology allows us to process cases with the use of scanners and high speed connections thereby reducing our consumption of paper. This investment has allowed us to drastically reduce our paper consumption over the recent years. Furthermore, a portion of our profits are re-directed to children in developing countries. Heller Immigration Law Group, LLP has sponsored over two dozen children in countries such as India and Nigeria in support of their food, shelter and education.

Ethics and Policy

The firm maintains the highest ethical standards whereby it has never been sanctioned, fined or waived by any agency. Our practitioners provide only accurate legal counsel and discussion with agencies. One of our senior practitioners was recently awarded the 2005 Martin-Hubbell Peer Review Rating for high ethical standards and legal ability.

Heller Immigration Law Group, LLP maintains a highly visible profile with clients and government agencies regarding current immigration policy setting. We issue monthly newsletters and quarterly bulletins informing our clients of updates and changes to immigration law. The firm issues client ‘broadcasts’ within 24 hours of any government news releases or immigration law changes.

Also, our membership visibility and participation with the Information Technology Association of America’s (ITAA’s) immigration committee affords and gives us the necessary platform and contacts at the highest level of all agencies related to immigration. ITAA carries more weight and credibility not only with administrative agencies, but also with members in the White House and Congress. ITAA’s policy initiatives have proven to be very effective and substantial through the lobbying activities of other firms. Our participation with ITAA is a strategic decision we’ve taken because of our focus and knowledge of IT; therefore it is the best and most effective forum not only for problematic and policy matters, but also for our client interests.
