How to Be Successful Working at TRW Law Firm

At TRW Law Firm, our success is rooted not just in the outcomes of our cases, but in the strength of our culture, the clarity of our communication, and the integrity with which we serve our clients. For any new team member—whether you’re a fresh associate, a legal researcher, a business development executive, or a partner in training—this guide outlines the expectations you can count on from TRW partners and the conduct we count on from you.

Expectations at TRW Law Firm

1. Your performance will be judged by team outcomes.

The success of TRW Law Firm > Your department > You.

We function as a unit, and collaboration is key. While individual brilliance is valued, the ability to drive impact through collective results is what truly sets you apart here. Our courtroom victories, successful client closings, and landmark settlements are always the fruit of unified efforts, not solo performances.

2. We don’t micromanage—so speak up when needed.

TRW partners are always available to support and guide, but we won’t hover. If you require input or assistance, you are expected to ask. If you remain silent, we will presume you are clear on your objectives and confident in your course of action. We expect maturity and initiative.

3. Understand and communicate the “why.”

Securing a favorable outcome in a case or project gets you halfway. But can you explain how you got there? Could you replicate it? Could someone else on the team? If not, we consider the success fragile. At TRW, legal excellence includes understanding—and sharing—the rationale behind every action.

4. Speak your truth—even when it’s the minority view.

TRW values intellectual diversity and respects courageous voices. Whether you’re an intern or a senior partner, we want your perspective—especially when it challenges the consensus. Express your view with respect, and listen when others do the same. This is how we grow stronger, sharper, and more strategic.

5. Feedback is non-negotiable.

You are expected to provide at least one piece of constructive feedback each month—to your TRW partner, your colleagues, or across teams. Don’t fear hurting feelings. The strongest partnerships are forged in transparency, not silence. Giving and receiving feedback is not a performance review—it’s a habit.

6. Treat every TRW colleague like a client.

Whether you're speaking to the Managing Partner or a junior associate, extend the same respect, attentiveness, and professionalism as you would to a paying client. Everyone here is working to deliver legal excellence. Recognizing the dignity and value of each team member is part of our professional DNA.

7. We win together—and we fail together.

This firm is not a place for blame games or finger-pointing. Mistakes will happen. We address them, learn from them, and move forward. Do not hide errors. Do not blame others. Integrity means owning your actions and having the courage to improve. TRW is a bus we’re all on or off together.

8. Lead with calm, steady optimism.

Clients come to us during moments of high stress, conflict, or ambition. They need steadiness—and so do your teammates. Even when the unexpected happens, be the voice of focus and direction. Chaos doesn’t solve legal problems. Composed leadership does.

This is more than a list—it’s a philosophy of practice at TRW.

You’ll hear these principles echoed in team meetings, reflected in our internal communications, and lived by our partners. This isn’t theoretical—it’s cultural. Embed these values, and you’ll not only grow professionally, you’ll elevate those around you.

EB-1 Category for Adjustment of Status in the U.S

by Tahmidur Remura Wahid | May 17, 2025 | Corporate, M&A, Finance

EB-1 Category for Adjustment of Status in the U.S.: A Complete Guide by TRW Law Firm

Introduction

The path to U.S. permanent residency (commonly known as a Green Card) can be long and complex, especially for skilled professionals, researchers, and executives. Among the various immigrant visa categories, the EB-1 categorystands out for offering a faster, more direct route to permanent residency for individuals with exceptional talent, leadership, and international acclaim.

For those already residing in the United States on a non-immigrant visa (such as F-1, H-1B, L-1, or O-1), applying for a change of status under the EB-1 category — formally known as “Adjustment of Status” — can be the ideal solution to become a U.S. permanent resident without the need to leave the country.

In this article, TRW Law Firm unpacks the EB-1 visa classification, explains how adjustment of status works under it, and outlines how our legal team can help you navigate this critical process.

What is the EB-1 Immigrant Visa Category?

The EB-1 (Employment-Based First Preference) visa category is intended for individuals with extraordinary achievements, outstanding academic credentials, or executive-level leadership in multinational corporations. It is one of the most prestigious green card categories and is split into three distinct subcategories:

EB-1A: Persons of Extraordinary Ability

This subcategory is designed for individuals who have reached the very top of their field in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.

No job offer or employer sponsorship is required
Applicants can self-petition
Must show national or international acclaim and sustained achievement
Must intend to continue work in their field upon becoming a permanent resident

EB-1B: Outstanding Professors and Researchers

This subcategory is for internationally recognized academics and research professionals.

Requires an offer of employment from a U.S. institution (university or research center)
Must have at least 3 years of teaching or research experience
Must show proof of international recognition in an academic field

EB-1C: Multinational Managers and Executives

This subcategory is for managers and executives who have worked abroad for a multinational company and are now being transferred to a U.S. affiliate or subsidiary.

Must have worked for the foreign company for at least 1 of the past 3 years
The U.S. petitioning company must have a qualifying corporate relationship
The role in the U.S. must be managerial or executive in nature

Adjustment of Status Explained

Adjustment of Status (AOS) refers to the process through which eligible individuals in the U.S. can change their immigration status from a non-immigrant to a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) without leaving the country. This is in contrast to “consular processing,” which involves applying for an immigrant visa from outside the U.S.

For EB-1 beneficiaries, Adjustment of Status provides a seamless transition — particularly useful for those already working or studying in the U.S.

Eligibility Criteria for EB-1 Adjustment of Status

To apply for Adjustment of Status under the EB-1 category, you must satisfy the following conditions:

✅ You Are Physically Present in the U.S.

You must be physically inside the United States at the time of filing Form I-485 (Application to Adjust Status).

✅ You Were Lawfully Admitted or Paroled

You must have entered the U.S. legally (with inspection and proper documentation) and be in valid immigration status (F-1, H-1B, L-1, O-1, etc.).

✅ Your EB-1 Petition (Form I-140) is Approved or Concurrently Filed

You can either:

• File your Form I-485 after your I-140 is approved, or
• Concurrently file both Form I-140 and I-485 if a visa number is immediately available.

✅ You Have an Available Visa Number

The U.S. Department of State issues a monthly Visa Bulletin that dictates when an immigrant visa is “available” based on the applicant’s category and country of chargeability. EB-1 often remains “current,” allowing immediate filing.

✅ You Are Not Ineligible for a Green Card

Ineligibility factors may include:

• Immigration fraud or misrepresentation
• Criminal history
• Unlawful presence in the U.S.
• Public charge concerns (in some cases)

Required Forms for EB-1 Adjustment of Status

Below is a breakdown of forms typically involved in the process:

At TRW Law Firm, we ensure every document is correctly prepared, reviewed, and submitted to avoid costly delays or denials.

Step-by-Step Guide to the EB-1 Adjustment of Status Process

Step 1: Determine EB-1 Subcategory and Eligibility

We start by identifying which subcategory (EB-1A, EB-1B, or EB-1C) best fits your profile, followed by a comprehensive review of your qualifications and admissibility.

Step 2: File Form I-140 (Petition for Alien Worker)

• EB-1A: You can self-petition
• EB-1B & EB-1C: Your employer must file the I-140 on your behalf
  Supporting evidence will include awards, publications, reference letters, employment history, and academic qualifications, as applicable.

Step 3: Concurrently File Form I-485 (if visa is current)

If your EB-1 category is current in the Visa Bulletin, you can file the I-485 together with I-140. This concurrent filing helps accelerate your green card process.

Step 4: Biometrics Appointment

After USCIS receives your application, you will be scheduled for a biometrics appointment where fingerprints and photographs will be collected.

Step 5: Receive Employment Authorization and Advance Parole (Optional)

While your green card is pending, you can apply for:

• EAD (Employment Authorization Document) – Work legally in the U.S.
• Advance Parole (Travel Document) – Leave and re-enter the U.S. without abandoning your application

Step 6: USCIS Interview (If Required)

In some cases, USCIS may require an in-person interview to verify details. Our attorneys will prepare you thoroughly if this step arises.

Step 7: Receive Decision

If all goes well, USCIS will approve your I-485 application and issue your Green Card, granting you lawful permanent resident status in the U.S.

Timeline and Processing Duration

Advantages of EB-1 Adjustment of Status

No Labor Certification Required

Unlike EB-2 or EB-3 categories, EB-1 applicants are exempt from PERM Labor Certification, significantly reducing the wait time.

Premium Processing for Speed

Applicants under EB-1A and EB-1B can opt for Premium Processing, ensuring USCIS will make a decision on the I-140 within 15 calendar days.

Self-Petition Option for EB-1A

The ability to self-petition removes dependence on a U.S. employer and offers greater flexibility for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and independent professionals.

Work and Travel While Application is Pending

Filing the I-765 and I-131 allows the applicant to legally work and travel while waiting for final adjudication of their Green Card.

Family Benefits

Spouses and children under 21 years of age can file as derivative applicants and receive Green Cards along with the primary applicant.

Challenges in EB-1 Adjustment of Status

🟥 Strict Evidence Requirements

Especially for EB-1A, you must demonstrate extraordinary ability through:

• Major awards (e.g., Nobel, Pulitzer)
• Published work in major media
• Membership in associations requiring distinguished achievement
• Original contributions to the field

The burden of proof is high. Our firm helps clients gather compelling evidence and build robust applications.

🟥 Limited Availability for Certain Countries

While the EB-1 category is usually "current," countries like India and China may sometimes face retrogression. Timely filing and legal planning are key.

🟥 Dependence on Employer for EB-1B and EB-1C

These subcategories require employer sponsorship. Changing jobs midway through the process can impact your eligibility.

🟥 USCIS Discretion

USCIS has discretion to deny petitions it deems insufficient or weak. A poorly prepared case may lead to Requests for Evidence (RFEs), delays, or denial.

At TRW Law Firm, we bring deep expertise in employment-based immigration. Here’s how we can help:

Advance Parole in U.S. Immigration

by Tahmidur Remura Wahid | May 17, 2025 | Corporate, M&A, Finance

Advance Parole in U.S. Immigration: A Comprehensive Guide by TRW Law Firm

For many immigrants living in the United States, the ability to travel abroad while maintaining their immigration status is a complex and often misunderstood process. One of the most crucial mechanisms that allows such travel is known as Advance Parole. At TRW Law Firm, we frequently assist clients who need to leave the country temporarily for family, work, or emergency reasons but are unsure if doing so might harm their immigration applications.

Advance Parole is a specialized travel permit that allows certain immigrants to leave and re-enter the U.S. legally without nullifying a pending immigration benefit—particularly a Green Card (adjustment of status) application. In this article, we will walk you through every aspect of Advance Parole, from its legal basis and eligibility criteria to the risks and benefits associated with it.

What Is Advance Parole?

Advance Parole is a travel document issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that permits eligible non-citizens to re-enter the United States after temporarily traveling abroad.

Without Advance Parole, individuals with pending immigration applications may risk having their applications considered abandoned if they depart the U.S. Therefore, Advance Parole serves as a critical bridge for maintaining lawful presence during international travel.

It’s important to note that:

Advance Parole is not a visa.
It does not guarantee re-entry into the U.S.—final admission is determined by a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer.
It must be obtained before leaving the United States.

Who Needs Advance Parole?

Advance Parole is generally required for individuals with pending immigration applications who plan to travel outside the United States. Below are common categories of people who need Advance Parole:

Adjustment of Status Applicants (Green Card Applicants)

If you’ve submitted Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, and your application is still pending, you must apply for Advance Parole if you wish to travel internationally. Without it, your application may be automatically denied for abandonment.

DACA Recipients

Recipients under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program can apply for Advance Parole only in specific scenarios, such as:

• Educational purposes (e.g., study abroad)
• Employment (e.g., overseas work conferences)
• Humanitarian reasons (e.g., visiting a sick relative)

TPS Holders (Temporary Protected Status)

Individuals with TPS may apply for Advance Parole to temporarily leave the U.S. and re-enter. This is especially crucial in emergency or humanitarian situations.

Asylum Applicants

Those with pending asylum applications can also apply for Advance Parole. However, they should not travel to their country of feared persecution, as this may be interpreted as an abandonment of their asylum claim.

Who May Not Need Advance Parole?

Certain individuals may travel and re-enter the U.S. using their existing visa status, without needing Advance Parole. These include:

H-1B or L-1 Visa Holders

People in H-1B (specialty occupation) or L-1 (intra-company transferee) status who maintain valid visas can leave and return without Advance Parole—even if they have a pending Green Card application.

K-3/K-4 and V Visa Holders

Spouses and dependents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents under these specific visa categories can often re-enter without requiring Advance Parole, provided they have valid visas.

Who Is Not Eligible for Advance Parole?

Not everyone qualifies for Advance Parole. You may be ineligible if:

🟥 You are in the U.S. illegally or out of status
🟥 You have a final order of removal
🟥 You are in ongoing deportation/removal proceedings
🟥 You hold a J-1 visa and are subject to the two-year foreign residency requirement
🟥 You’ve departed the U.S. without first obtaining the Advance Parole document

Ineligible individuals who attempt to apply may not only be denied but could jeopardize any pending or future immigration benefit.

Types of Advance Parole

There are generally two main types of Advance Parole issued by USCIS:

1. Regular Advance Parole

Issued to adjustment of status applicants, TPS holders, and others. The travel document typically allows multiple entries for the duration of its validity.

2. Emergency Advance Parole

For situations requiring immediate international travel (e.g., family death or life-threatening illness), USCIS may expedite the processing. Applicants can request this by visiting a USCIS field office and providing appropriate evidence.

Application Process for Advance Parole

The process for applying for Advance Parole is relatively straightforward but requires careful attention to detail. Here are the steps involved:

Step 1: Complete Form I-131

You must file Form I-131, Application for Travel Document. This form collects personal data, travel intent, and evidence of eligibility.

Step 2: Prepare Supporting Documentation

The following documents must be submitted with Form I-131:

• Copy of a government-issued ID (e.g., passport, driver’s license)
• Two passport-sized photos
• USCIS receipt notice of pending Form I-485 or DACA approval
• A written explanation of the reason for travel
• Supporting evidence (e.g., medical records, school letters, conference invitations)

Step 3: Pay Filing Fee

As of 2025, the standard filing fee is \$575. Some applicants (e.g., those who filed Form I-485 using Form I-765) may not need to pay an additional fee.

Step 4: Submit to USCIS

Applications must be submitted to the appropriate USCIS lockbox facility based on your residence and the category you fall under.

Step 5: Wait for Processing

Processing typically takes between 3 to 5 months under normal circumstances. Emergency requests may be processed within days.

Risks of Traveling on Advance Parole

Advance Parole provides flexibility, but it also comes with risks. Applicants should fully understand these before deciding to leave the country:

🟥 1. No Guarantee of Re-entry

Even with Advance Parole, you are subject to inspection by CBP officers upon arrival. They have the discretion to deny your entry if they find issues in your immigration history or background.

🟥 2. Abandonment of Applications

Leaving the U.S. without Advance Parole while your adjustment of status or asylum application is pending may be interpreted as voluntary abandonment.

🟥 3. Immigration Bars

If you have previously overstayed your visa or been unlawfully present for more than 180 days, traveling out of the country—even with Advance Parole—could trigger three- or ten-year re-entry bars.

🟥 4. Delays at the Border

Additional screening at the airport or land border may result in long wait times and possible detainment, particularly if your case includes red flags.

Benefits of Using Advance Parole

Despite the risks, Advance Parole is a valuable legal safeguard for immigrants with pending cases:

1. Protection of Immigration Status

Advance Parole preserves your pending immigration application—whether it’s a Green Card, asylum, or DACA—by notifying USCIS of your planned return.

2. Travel for Family Emergencies

It enables individuals to visit critically ill family members or attend funerals abroad without risking their legal status.

3. Educational or Employment Opportunities

Students or employees may need to travel for academic conferences or work-related assignments. Advance Parole makes such travel possible without legal consequences.

4. Potential Immigration Strategy

For DACA recipients, a return to the U.S. with Advance Parole after traveling abroad may count as a “lawful entry,” potentially enabling them to adjust status in the future.

Tips for a Successful Advance Parole Application

To enhance the chances of approval and safe return, applicants should consider the following tips:

Apply well in advance of the intended travel date
Keep a copy of the Advance Parole document with you at all times during travel
Don’t plan non-refundable travel until you receive approval
Avoid traveling to countries where you could face danger or legal complications
Consult a qualified immigration attorney before traveling

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

❓Can I travel while my Advance Parole application is pending?

No. If you leave the U.S. before your Advance Parole is approved, it will be considered abandoned and automatically denied.

❓How long is Advance Parole valid?

Typically, Advance Parole is valid for one year and allows multiple entries, depending on the type of document issued.

❓Can I work with Advance Parole?

No. Advance Parole does not grant employment authorization. You need an approved Form I-765 (EAD) for that.

❓Can I renew Advance Parole?

Yes. You can apply for renewal if your Green Card or other immigration application is still pending. It's advisable to reapply 120 days before expiration.

L-1 Visa Guide for Bangladeshi Professionals and Companies

by Tahmidur Remura Wahid | May 16, 2025 | Corporate, M&A, Finance

L-1 Visa Guide for Bangladeshi Professionals and Companies

In today’s global economy, U.S. immigration options like the L-1 visa play a pivotal role for multinational companies and their key employees. At TRW Law Firm, we regularly assist Bangladeshi businesses and professionals in navigating the complex U.S. immigration landscape. Among the most common queries we receive is whether the L-1 visa is lottery-based, how it compares to the H-1B visa, and what specific benefits it offers.

This article consolidates essential information to help Bangladeshi companies, executives, and skilled professionals understand and make strategic use of the L-1 intracompany transfer visa.

Is the L-1 Visa Lottery-Based?

No, the L-1 visa is not lottery-based.

Unlike the H-1B visa, which operates under an annual cap of 85,000 visas and a highly competitive lottery system, the L-1 visa has no such numerical limit. This means:

If an applicant meets the eligibility criteria
The employer demonstrates a qualifying relationship
All required documentation is provided

→ Then the L-1 visa can be approved without needing to win a lottery.

✅ What This Means for Bangladeshi Companies:

• You can strategically plan for staff relocation without uncertainty.
• You avoid the seasonal constraints of the H-1B lottery cycle (which usually opens in April).
• You can establish new offices in the U.S. and transfer key personnel immediately.

TRW Law Firm assists clients in properly structuring their L-1 visa petitions to meet all eligibility criteria from the outset—minimizing delays and increasing approval rates.

Is the L-1 Visa Better Than the H-1B Visa?

This question does not have a one-size-fits-all answer. The right visa depends on the specific profile of the applicant, the employer’s structure, and the nature of the intended role in the United States.

Here’s a comparative look:

🔍 When L-1 Might Be Better:

• You work for a multinational company with a U.S. office or are planning to open one.
• You are in a managerial or executive role, or have specialized knowledge.
• You want to avoid the uncertainty of the H-1B lottery.
• Your spouse wants to work in the U.S.

🔍 When H-1B Might Be Better:

• You are an independent professional with no prior affiliation with a multinational.
• You want more job mobility in the U.S. market.
• Your employer is a U.S.-based company with no foreign presence.

At TRW Law Firm, we help Bangladeshi professionals choose the right path between L-1 and H-1B based on long-term immigration goals, family considerations, and career ambitions.

What Are the Benefits of the L-1 Visa?

The L-1 visa offers a wide range of benefits for both employers and employees, especially those in Bangladesh’s growing corporate sector looking to enter or expand in the United States.

Key Benefits for Applicants:

🟢 No Lottery or Cap
Applicants are not subject to the unpredictability of a visa lottery. If you qualify, you get approved.

🟢 Work Authorization for Spouses
L-2 spouses can apply for work authorization (EAD), allowing them to work without any industry or location restrictions.

🟢 Path to Green Card
L-1A visa holders (executives/managers) can apply for permanent residency via the EB-1C category, which does not require labor certification (PERM)—a time-consuming step in the H-1B route.

🟢 Quicker Processing
With premium processing, L-1 petitions can be adjudicated in as little as 15 calendar days.

Key Benefits for Employers:

🟢 Seamless Internal Mobility
Easily relocate key employees from Bangladesh to the U.S. without waiting for H-1B lottery windows.

🟢 Start New U.S. Offices
If your company is launching a new subsidiary or branch in the U.S., the L-1 visa allows you to send founding personnel to set up operations.

🟢 Multiple Roles Supported
Whether it's executives, managers, or specialists, the L-1 visa has variants (L-1A and L-1B) that cater to different operational needs.

🟢 Business Continuity
Transfer trusted personnel to U.S. operations who are already familiar with the company's structure and values—minimizing onboarding costs.

How Long Can You Stay in the U.S. on an L-1 Visa?

The duration of stay under an L-1 visa depends on the type of visa issued and whether the applicant is working in a new U.S. office or an existing one.

🟢 Initial Stay:

• New Office: 1 year (L-1A or L-1B)
• Established Office: 3 years

🟢 Maximum Stay Allowed:

• L-1A (Managers & Executives): Up to 7 years
• L-1B (Specialized Knowledge Employees): Up to 5 years

Extensions are typically granted in two-year increments, provided the individual continues to meet eligibility requirements and the company maintains its qualifying relationship.

Why Choose TRW Law Firm for Your L-1 Visa Application?

Whether you're a C-suite executive in Dhaka, a mid-level manager in Chattogram, or a growing startup owner looking to expand into the U.S., TRW Law Firm offers tailored legal strategies to maximize your success.

✅ What We Offer:

• Full evaluation of L-1 or H-1B suitability
• Structuring new U.S. entities for L-1 new office compliance
