California Immigration Attorney for Business and Employment-Based U.S. Immigration
Our California immigration attorney advises international business leaders, investors, professionals, and U.S. companies hiring foreign talent on business and employment-based U.S. immigration. Our work includes E-2, L-1, H-1B, O-1A visas, and EB-1A & NIW matters, with attorney-led strategy and well-supported filings aligned with business goals.
How Business and Employment-Based Immigration Actually Works
Clients come to us at different stages of their careers and businesses, but the same issues tend to arise.
Entrepreneurs and investors often focus on getting a company launched or expanded, without realizing how early choices about structure, ownership, and role definition affect immigration options later. Executives and highly skilled professionals may meet the basic criteria for a visa or green card, but underestimate how narrowly USCIS applies those standards and how much detail is required to support them.
U.S. employers seeking to sponsor foreign talent are often surprised by how closely prior filings, job descriptions, and organizational changes are reviewed over time, especially when planning extensions or permanent residence.
What is often underestimated is not the complexity of the law, but the importance of having a clear, organized process. Well-prepared immigration applications depend on knowing what information actually matters and how it fits together.
Our role is to give clients structure and direction, reduce uncertainty, and handle the details in a way that allows them to stay focused on their business, career, or team while the case moves forward with clarity and purpose.
Focused, Attorney-Led Representation
We concentrate on business and employment-based immigration matters that require careful planning and judgment. Each case is led by an immigration attorney and supported by a structured legal process designed to address both current filings and future immigration goals.
Clear Process and Direct Communication
Clients work through a defined process with clear expectations at each stage. We prioritize organized document collection, thoughtful case preparation, and responsive communication so clients know what is needed and why at every step.
Built for Long-Term Immigration Planning
Our work takes into account prior filings, current needs, and long-term objectives, including extensions and permanent residence planning. This approach helps clients make informed decisions without unnecessary surprises later in the process.
Our Practice Areas
We advise on business- and employment-based U.S. immigration matters where careful planning, accurate documentation, and long-term consistency materially affect outcomes.

Immigration Success Stories
I highly recommend Victoria! I have been working with her since the beginning of my visa journey, and she has been incredibly supportive throughout the process. She was always kind, patient, and extremely helpful, especially in the beginning when I struggled to understand the strategy and complexity of the application. I received my visa on the first attempt—I had doubts and was prepared for RFEs, but Victoria described my background so well and aligned it with the current situation that my visa was approved in just 8 working days!
Valdis G.I [had] an employment based green card case, Victoria was in charge of filing my case. I had concerns about the process, as the process is extensive, Victoria was very professional and methodical, she would make sure my concerns and questions were addressed, and made sure information on the forms were accurate and adequate. I highly recommend Victoria.
VickyWe highly appreciate the professionalism and quality of service offered by the immigration lawyer Victoria Kuzmina. We hired Victoria Kuzmina to represent us in the employment immigration case (EB-1) […] She helped us in a record time, guided us with all the details, gave us all the necessary information about each step and helped us with everything. We were amazed. We successfully completed our immigration process...
Dayanat M.I connected with Victoria after a terrible and dramatic experience with the previous lawyer company, with whom we were working on an L1A visa petition. Five months of careless work ended about with a very general RFE response, stating that we mostly proved nothing. I asked my friends for recommendations and got an introduction to Victoria. It took just one day to schedule the call and send all the documents for evaluation. One hour of consultation was enough to get the whole understanding of the process, which we couldn’t reach with the previous company. We agreed to switch the case to Victoria. After fast onboarding, we basically started the whole process from scratch, without the right for error and with very short deadlines (less than two months). The interaction was very responsive, constructive and polite. We established a fast feedback loop to negotiate on all unclear and risky things. As a result, we ended up with a top-quality RFE response, sent just in time, and the positive outcome didn’t make us wait for long - approval in one day upon a letter received by USCIS. I had a very polar experience working with two companies, and now I can clearly identify what excellent lawyer work actually means. I urge everybody to work with Victoria because she provides top-notch service, which is really hard to find.
Gleb P.I had a great experience with Victoria on my [EB-1A] application. Victoria's team filed a comprehensive and brilliantly articulated petition, which was approved with in 3 days of receipt. Victoria's inputs were crucial in identifying key qualifications for the [EB-1A] criteria. Her team's independent research on supporting documents for my application was also very helpful.
Rahul V.Victoria led our case with calm authority. She presented the facts, patiently answered our questions and communicated promptly and effectively, managing our expectations and nerves through the year that our application was processed. Her knowledge of the system is exceptional and she led us to a successful conclusion. It is clear that immigration law is Victoria's passion. It is all she does and I'd recommend you choose her to be the lawyer on your side.
Nick H.My wife and I worked with Victoria for my wife's spousal visa to the US. Having Victoria on our side throughout the process was a godsend. There were some unique issues that came up because of my work, and because of the fact that our family was living abroad at the time. Victoria helped us navigate the visa process and preemptively answer any questions the embassy might have had. Victoria was always available to answer our questions and address our concerns. It was also great that Victoria could talk to my wife in Russian if needed. I cannot recommend her enough!
Jesse R.Victoria V. Kuzmina was my lawyer and helped me to receive my green card. From the very beginning when I was confused between multiple visa application options she was very clear to explain the pros and cons of each option. This helped me to make up my mind and choose the option that led me to success. My application was processed through COVID period and she made sure to explain and update me every step of the way. Victoria is a true professional, with exceptional attention to detail. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy and highly professional immigration lawyer.
Mariam M.We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding service provided by The Law Office of Victoria V. Kuzmina throughout our Green Card process. From start to finish, Victoria demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Victoria guided us on every step of the way and addressed all of the questions we had with patience and clarity. Her support made the entire process smooth and successful. We highly recommend Victoria.
Lior R.Я осталась в полном восторге от работы с Викторией! Это далеко не первый мой опыт взаимодействия с юристами, но работа с Викторией просто несравнимо более качественная и комфортная. Я получала green card в рамках процесса ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS BASED ON MARRIAGE TO A U.S. CITIZEN. С самого начала, еще до процесса сбора документов Виктория все разъяснила, рассказала про каждый этап процесса. Так же Виктория не просто дала нам список документов, для подготовки, но и дала очень много необходимой информации, как правильно их подготовить, некоторые важные, влияющие на результат детали мы с мужем не знали и они оказались очень полезными. Так же Виктория очень подробно и доступно отвечала на все мои вопросы, которые я, иногда, задавала несколько раз)) Так же в офисе Виктории используют специальную платформу для загрузки документов, это очень удобно, я могла сама отслеживать свой прогресс и понимать, что еще мне нужно догрузить, это делает процесс более эффективным и комфортным. В целом я честно изумлена вниманием к деталям, участием, организацией процесса от начала и до конца! В результате наше дело было на столько полным и не требующим дополнений, не вызывающим вопросов у офицера миграционной службы, что после всего лишь 15 минутного интервью наше дело одобрили и я получила green card! Огромная благодарность Виктории!

I got in touch with Victoria after I received a 7 page RFE for my O1A petition. My RFE deadline was only 6 weeks away and Victoria had to work on my entire case again from scratch. She met the required deadline and we submitted it in 6 weeks. I got an approval on the 7th working day. This visa was my only option to live in the US and she made it happen. Victoria works on the entire case by herself- its not passed on to paralegals, so it is her expertise that is used in the case. She is very professional, knowledgeable and a great communicator. She responded to all my queries promptly and took the time to explain everything thoroughly. Thank you for everything Victoria!!! I highly recommend her.
