About David
Biography
I have practiced law since 1989 and am the Managing Attorney of Nachman, Phulwani, Zimovcak & Batra (NPZ & B) Law Group, P.C., also known as VISASERVE. I founded the firm’s predecessor, Nachman & Associates, in 1993.
Most of my practice is business immigration. I help employers of all sizes hire and keep foreign national employees through H-1B, L-1 intracompany transfer, and other work visas, PERM labor certification, and employment-based green cards. I also advise companies on Form I-9 compliance, E-Verify, H-1B site visits, FDNS investigations, and Department of Labor wage and hour audits, and I handle consular processing for clients around the world. NPZ & B also represents individuals and families in family-based immigration and naturalization.
Immigration often overlaps with corporate and employment law. I help foreign nationals set up U.S. business entities to support their visa applications, and I work with employers’ in-house and outside counsel on hiring, layoffs, and furloughs involving visa holders.
I earned a B.S. from Georgetown University and a J.D. and an MBA from Case Western Reserve University. Before 2003, I chaired the business immigration law department at Grotta, Glassman & Hoffman. I am a former Chair of the New Jersey Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), taught paralegal studies as an adjunct professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and moderate the annual “Immigration Law Basics” program for the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education.
NPZ & B has offices in Ridgewood and Raritan, New Jersey; New York City; and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
We are one of the best U.S. Immigration and Nationality Law Firms (with a Canadian Immigration Law Practice). Our staff of highly-skilled Immigration Lawyers work hard to deliver the highest level of immigration services at very affordable prices. We are online at http://www.visaserve.com
The immigration laws are inextricably bound to the work of corporate and business lawyers. NPZ&B's Team is familiar with corporate transactions and can assist clients with entity formation, financing documentation and mergers & acquisitions. NPZ can also prepare business and corporate contracts.
Foreign Nationals, and the organizations that hire them, have special considerations with regard to recruiting, hiring, on-boarding, firing and furloughs. NPZ&B Immigration and Nationality Lawyers work closely with Employment Counselors to help guide employers with regard to immigration law issues
Immigration and Nationality Law processes are complex and require a great deal of patience - both by the immigration lawyer as well as the client(s). Choosing the correct immigration law firm to represent you, your business, and your family is imperative to reaching success. Call us at 201-670-0006

Excellent Service
I have been working with David for my L1 visa, he is really dedicated to his job, and he has a wonderful team. After I worked with him, many of my friends worked with him again, and always heard positive feedbacks. Their immigration office is doing their job seriously and on time.

David H Nachman's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. We attended law school together in 1985-87, and also co-counseled a successful immigrant visa for a medical professional in 1996. All lawyers have to possess a combination of skills, and he has the right combination."
"Mr. Nachman is a top-notch immigration attorney. A zealous advocate for his clients and highly respected in the legal community. I highly endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. The beat in the business."
"David is a very professional and competent Immigration attorney and his law firm is dominant in New Jersey. He's very knowledgable, energetic and communicative. One of the finest professionals I have dealt with. I would highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. David Nachman is one of the most knowledgeable practitioners I know in the area of immigration law. We worked together on a number of matters involving business immigration, in which we counseled clients on the area of starting a new business in the United States and using the investment as a basis for entry. In addition, Mr. Nachman and I have assisted immigrants to naturalize when facing a slow and intransigent CIS. A number of Mr. Nachman's clients retained me to bring federal lawsuits on their behalf, and I worked closely with Mr. Nachman on these cases as well. I learned a great deal about the immigration side of these matters from Mr. Nachman and found him to be a very honest, hard working and industrious attorney. I look forward to working with him in the future, and will have no reservations referring my colleagues and clients to him in the future."
