For more than two decades, our practice has guided global investors, multinational executives, and extraordinary individuals through the United States immigration system — pairing senior legal counsel with vetted U.S. capital programs in real estate and healthcare.
Our offices sit at the intersections of investor migration. We meet clients in their own timezone — and we represent them before U.S. consulates and USCIS regardless of where they reside.
Our work is concentrated in four core programs. Each engagement is led by senior counsel and supported by a dedicated case team.
A direct path to lawful permanent residence for qualified investors who contribute to a U.S. commercial enterprise that creates American jobs. We advise on rural, infrastructure, and Targeted Employment Area pathways — and provide access to in-house capital programs structured to satisfy program criteria.
Discuss eligibilityFor nationals of treaty countries seeking to direct and develop a U.S. enterprise of their own. Renewable indefinitely while the qualifying business remains active and substantive.
Discuss eligibilityFor executives and senior managers transferring from a qualifying foreign employer to a U.S. parent, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate. Often a strategic predicate to EB-1C permanent residence.
Discuss eligibilityThe most prestigious employment-based green card category, reserved for individuals of extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, and multinational executives. Labor certification is not required.
Discuss eligibilityMost prospective clients are unsure which visa category fits their circumstances. Answer three brief questions and we will surface the most likely pathway for your matter — together with the rationale and the threshold conditions you should expect.
Every matter follows the same six-phase methodology, calibrated to the visa category and the client's timeline.
Confidential review of your circumstances by senior counsel. We assess eligibility and recommend a pathway.
A written engagement letter, scope of work, and detailed roadmap with milestones, fees, and dependencies.
We assemble, draft, and authenticate every supporting record. Petitions are built to pre-empt RFEs.
Petition lodged with USCIS, the National Visa Center, or the relevant U.S. consulate, with confirmed receipt.
We monitor case progress and respond to any government inquiry or request for evidence on your behalf.
Visa issuance, status adjustment, or admission. Post-approval guidance on residency, travel, and renewals.
Beyond legal representation, we provide qualified clients access to vetted U.S. investment vehicles that satisfy the capital-at-risk requirements of investor visa categories — sourced and structured by our in-house team and operating partners.
Residential build-to-rent communities and commercial assets pre-leased to investment-grade national tenants.
Asset-backed positions in medical equipment leasing entities and tenant-improvement projects for physician practices.
Atlas Capital & Counsel was founded on a simple conviction: that high-stakes immigration matters deserve the same caliber of counsel afforded to any sophisticated cross-border transaction. Our clients are investors, founders, researchers, and executives. They expect — and receive — discretion, technical mastery, and a senior advisor who is personally accountable for the outcome.
We do not delegate substantive work to junior staff. We do not pursue volume. We accept matters where we can add demonstrable value and where our seasoned approach will materially improve the probability of approval.
A licensed practitioner leads your matter from intake through approval. No handoffs.
A 98% approval rate, drawn from more than 8,500 concluded matters worldwide.
Confidential intake, encrypted file handling, and counsel bound by professional duty.
Petitions are built to pre-empt RFEs, not merely to respond to them once issued.
Names abbreviated to preserve confidentiality. Each engagement concluded with the green card, visa, or status sought.
The EB-5 process is exacting and unforgiving. Their team built a petition that left no question unanswered. My family and I are now permanent residents, and the matter was handled with the seriousness it deserved.
As a researcher whose career depends on momentum, time matters. Their EB-1 strategy framed my contributions in a way that USCIS could not ignore. Approval came earlier than I dared to expect.
I had been counseled by two firms before retaining Atlas Capital & Counsel. The difference was immediate: a single senior advisor, a clear strategy, and a complete petition delivered on schedule. My L-1A was approved without challenge.
They structured the investment correctly the first time and prepared me to address every conceivable source-of-funds question. The petition was approved, and I now operate a real-estate practice in New York.
Provide a brief profile of your matter. A senior advisor will review your circumstances and respond within one business day with an initial assessment, recommended visa pathway, and proposed next steps.
