Dunn Law Firm, LLP. The Dunn Law Firm, LLP, founded over 100 years ago in 1915, is among the oldest law firms in the United States. Centrally located in Bloomington, Illinois, the firm was proudly selected as part of the IPHEC RFP process for immigration law. The Arkell Immigration Team is the firm’s large immigration practice, and it serves many public and private universities filing TN, H-1B, O-1, EB-2 and EB-1 petitions on their behalf as well as PERM, Schedule A Group II, and J-1 waiver applications. Thomas J. Arkell is the firm’s Senior Partner. He exclusively practices immigration law and manages the Arkell Immigration Team.
Having successfully navigated 2016-2020 with travel bans, high prevailing wages, public charge interviews and the need for litigation, the firm is prepared for 2024-2028.
The firm has extensive expertise filing National Interest Waiver (NIW) immigrant visa petitions for institutions of higher education, college and university faculty, physicians, researchers, qualified Ph.D. students, and scientists in a wide variety of disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology, aerospace, nanotechnology, medicine, engineering, materials science, sociology, law, finance, economics, aerospace, and genetics. The NIW petition avoids the lengthy PERM process and the need to obtain a prevailing wage determination from the U.S. Department of Labor. The NIW petition can be filed by the institution or filed as a self-petition. It allows qualified PhD and Postdoctoral Researchers to control their own green card process. If qualified, they do not need their employer to sponsor them. The Dunn Law Firm, LLP and the Arkell Immigration Team has successfully filed NIW petitions for thousands of individuals and Universities throughout the United States and around the world affiliated with the world’s leading universities, research institutions, and businesses, as well as federal and international agencies.
