Specialized US Immigration Services for Canadians
Crossing the border for work or life requires more than just a passport; often, it requires complex legal strategy. Richards and Jurusik US Immigration Lawyer is a dedicated law firm assisting Canadians and businesses with United States immigration matters. Led by Jeremy Richards, a dual-licensed lawyer who has been practicing since 2011, the firm focuses exclusively on US immigration law. This specialization makes them the go-to experts for Business and Work Visa Lawyers needs, particularly for those seeking TN Visas under the USMCA (formerly NAFTA). Whether you are a management consultant, an engineer, or a healthcare professional looking to work in the US, Richards and Jurusik provide the specific guidance needed to ensure your application is successful at the border or through USCIS.
TN Visas, Green Cards, and Waivers
The firm offers a comprehensive suite of services for Canadians moving south. They are renowned for their expertise in TN Visas, helping professionals prepare robust application packages that stand up to scrutiny by US Customs and Border Protection. They also handle Family Immigration Lawyers matters, assisting US citizens in sponsoring their Canadian spouses for Green Cards (permanent residence). If you have been denied entry to the US due to a past criminal record, their team act as Deportation Defense Lawyers (Waivers), helping you apply for I-192 waivers of inadmissibility so you can travel freely again. If you need to find a lawyer who understands the nuances of cross-border mobility and can offer a flat-fee structure, Richards and Jurusik is a trusted choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer for a TN Visa?
While not strictly required, having a lawyer prepare your TN package significantly reduces the risk of refusal, especially for more scrutinized professions like Management Consultant or Scientific Technician.
What is an I-192 Waiver?
It is a specialized application that allows non-US citizens who are inadmissible (due to criminal history or prior immigration violations) to enter the US temporarily.
