Other Professionals

Boston is home to a wide variety of research facilities and universities. At Watson Law Offices we are proud to support those institutions through immigration services for professionals. Attorney Roy Jack Watson, Jr., offers over thirty years of experience in the field.

• During that time he has assisted companies in employing professionals, managers, and executives in industries including biotechnology, computer science and software development, health care and medical services, engineering, architecture, accounting, manufacturing, retail management, advertising, management information systems, veterinary medicine, business consulting, investment and finance, and process control.
• Our clients recruit foreign national workers from countries around the world. This includes countries such as England, India, Japan, China, and many others.

Mr. Watson addresses each client's unique situation in a thoughtful and analytical manner. He does not see failure as an option. A solution for a particular employee might be complex, involving applications for several types of visa during the course of the employee's term in the United States. A professional who enters the U.S. workforce on a temporary employment-based non-immigrant visa may do so with dual intent, understanding that he or she will later apply for permanent immigrant status (a green card). Long-term goals of the immigrant may include naturalization and citizenship or sponsorship of relatives.
