Our Employment-Based Immigration Attorney Serves Workers Around The World
Last updated on March 18, 2026
At the Wehage-Zickwolf Law Firm, LLC, we provide reliable advice for complicated immigration topics relating to employment. Gaining employment in the United States takes more than just filling out forms. It takes an immigration lawyer who understands immigration regulations and how they affect you.
Our founder, Annie Wehage-Zickwolf, has more than 25 years of experience as an employment-based visas attorney. Her previous career as a Missouri health care executive and compliance officer gives her exclusive insight into how health care employers approach immigration issues. She can come up with real-world solutions for employment-based immigration that other lawyers might overlook.
What Types Of Employment-Based Visas Do You Help With?
We serve high-status professionals and health care providers who need reliable immigration law guidance. We can assist with visas such as:
- Physician national interest waiver (NIW) petitions
- J-1 physician waiver applications
- Immigrant visas for professionals and researchers
- O-1 visas for individuals with extraordinary ability
- Temporary, work-based visas
- Permanent, employment-based visas and green cards
It is difficult to estimate the timeline for these visas. Your case will depend on government backlogs and your specific visa category. We work to make the process as short as possible by submitting thorough, detailed applications. Please note that we do not handle deportation defense or immigration court cases.
