What We Handle
(So You Don't Have To)
Our Full-Service Legal Support Includes:
This process is complex. It requires the right business structure, compliance with strict immigration and labor standards, a well-defined oversight relationship, and a detailed legal petition. Most founders are focused on building their product—not navigating USCIS. That’s where we come in.
At Kerben Law Firm, we manage every stage of the process, including:
– Strategic eligibility review and legal roadmap
– Business structuring for immigration compliance
– Prevailing wage requests and labor condition filings
– Full H-1B petition preparation and submission
– Oversight and employer-employee documentation
– Long-term green card planning (EB-2 NIW, EB-1A)
We provide end-to-end legal support tailored to your business and your role.
Why Work With KLF
A Law Firm That Understands Startups
KLF is led by Reuben S. Kerben, an immigration attorney with a unique perspective—before becoming a lawyer, he founded and ran a cloud-based education software company that served schools across the U.S. and abroad.
That hands-on experience informs the way we work with founders today: with practical insight, strategic planning, and an appreciation for the challenges entrepreneurs face. As your H1B immigration attorney for entrepreneurs, we understand both the legal complexities and the business realities of startup life.
This process takes time—and the sooner you begin, the more options you’ll have. If you’re serious about building your company and staying in the U.S. legally, don’t wait.
