Matthews Immigration Group ("MIG") is a full-service immigration law firm. We believe in the crucial importance of high-skilled immigration for sustaining and improving U.S. national competitiveness in global markets and world culture, and in the immense positive contributions that diverse peoples from around the world bring to domestic society. We are committed to zealously advocating on behalf of our Clients in a wide variety of immigration matters.

MIG exists to deliver high-value immigration strategies and solutions to its Clients through competence, integrity, efficiency, meaningful communication, meticulous accuracy and attention to details, and adaptability to fluid domestic political environments and global labor markets. The firm maintains a sustainable and equitable cost-benefit balance in its Flat Fee Schedule, charging attorney fees in accordance with high-quality legal services.

MIG provides quality legal advice, counsel, and representation to U.S. business entities, academic and research institutions, and non-profit organizations seeking to sponsor foreign nationals through employment-based immigration benefits programs, as well as to individuals and families seeking solutions to complex immigration problems. The firm navigates its clientele through the hyper-technical maze of statutory law embodied in the Immigration and Nationality Act, as well as the labyrinth of adjacent legislation, regulations, and case law governing the lawful admission, physical presence, and legal immigration status of non-naturalized foreign-born immigrants and nonimmigrants on temporary or permanent bases. The firm leverages from a single pool of legal immigration knowledge and skills in zealous pursuit of its clients’ immigration goals in a “seller’s” (high-demand/low-supply) market of congressionally limited immigration benefits.

We believe that our firm is set apart by our boutique model approach to specialized immigration lawyering within an increasingly conglomerated legal industry. Matthews Immigration Group possesses an interdisciplinary background uniquely experienced with and singularly focused upon the immigration needs of our clients. We provide an unwavering commitment to client service and education, advocacy, the integration of technology into case preparation to maximize efficiency and transparency, and highly competitive and inclusive flat fees. We do not seek to be the largest immigration services provider - we seek to be an exceptional one. MIG’s business model enables us to be selective with the clients and cases we represent so that we may offer each client the personalized attention that they deserve.
