Immigration as a Business Function
For employers in the Bellevue-Eastside technology corridor, the ability to sponsor and retain international workers is a core business function. Work visa sponsorship involves regulatory compliance, government filing fees, prescribed timelines, and ongoing employer obligations.
Attorney Luna works directly with employers — from startups to established technology companies — to navigate the sponsorship process efficiently and maintain compliance. This includes work visa petition strategy, PERM labor certification, L-1 intracompany transfers, and long-term green card planning for key employees.

Learn MoreCompliance & Employer Obligations
Employers who sponsor work visas take on specific legal obligations. For H-1B sponsors, this begins before the petition is filed: a Labor Condition Application (LCA) must be certified by the Department of Labor, attesting to prevailing wage compliance, working conditions, and non-displacement of U.S. workers. Ongoing obligations include paying the required wage (the higher of the prevailing wage or actual wage), not passing filing fees to the employee, maintaining a public access file, and providing proper notice upon termination.
For PERM sponsors, the obligations include conducting good faith recruitment, paying the prevailing wage, and maintaining the position as a genuine full-time permanent role. Non-compliance can result in penalties, audit findings, and the denial of future petitions.
Attorney Luna advises employers on compliance best practices, I-9 verification procedures, and how to structure immigration programs that meet regulatory requirements while supporting business objectives.
