Evidence-driven U.S. immigration counsel
Cedar builds evidence-driven immigration cases for accomplished professionals and founders, and advises the employers and families who sponsor them. We shape the record into an argument and consider each filing in light of what may come next.
Begin with the person whose future is at issue
For professionals, researchers, founders, investors, and family members coming to the United States or already building a life here.
For employers, organizations, and families sponsoring a person whose presence in the United States matters.
Every matter moves through statuses, deadlines, dependencies, and decisions. Cedar's role is defined by the engagement agreement. In an employer-sponsored matter, the employer and beneficiary may have different legal interests.
EB-1A, National Interest Waiver, and O-1 cases turn on more than whether evidence exists. They turn on what the evidence proves, how the pieces reinforce one another, which weaknesses must be addressed, and whether the record supports the argument being made.
This work rewards close reading, disciplined selection, and an individual theory of the case. Cedar specializes in this combination of high-achievement evidentiary work, long employment-based timelines, and category strategy.
Evidence is not the same as an argument.
