Would a law firm sponsor a work visa?

I know of at least one British citizen who was hired last year by a top law firm in California after he graduated from Stanford Law. He did his second summer work in the same firm. His firm is sponsoring his permanent resident visa.



Are you sure it is not a work visa instead?

My son-in-law, a Canadian graduated from a US law school and is an attorney at a top NYC law firm for 6 years. He is still on a TN visa (NAFTA visa for N. American professionals), His firm has hired many British citizens but he isn’t sure whether they have a work visa or green cards.

My daughter has just submitted application for a green card for him and they have been married for more than 2 years. He wasn’t in a hurry to change his status.
