Woodside Immigration Lawyer

The Peng Law's office here serves Peninsula founders, investors, researchers, and tech employees close to where they live and work.

Why Woodside

The Peninsula's applicant mix differs from the South Bay: a higher share of founders, investors, and Stanford-affiliated researchers, which makes O-1A and EB-1A more widely applicable than H-1B alone. Self-employed startup founders face a well-known employer-employee control problem on H-1B, which has to be designed into the company's governance in advance.

Woodside Immigration FAQ
Where is The Peng Law's Woodside office?
It is at 2995 Woodside Rd #450, Woodside, CA 94062, on the Peninsula and an easy drive from Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Redwood City. Our San Jose office (2880 Zanker Rd) covers the South Bay; both share the same team.
Can a startup founder sponsor their own H-1B?
Yes, but the petition has to show a genuine employer-employee relationship in which the company controls your work. The usual structure is an independent board or investor-controlled body that retains the right to terminate you. If you already have industry recognition, O-1A is often the sounder route — it does not require that control relationship at all.
Which green card path suits Stanford postdocs and researchers?
NIW and EB-1A are both self-petitioned — no employer sponsorship needed — and are the two routes researchers use most. Where the university or lab will sponsor, EB-1B outstanding researcher generally asks less of the publication and citation record than EB-1A. We assess your publications, citations, and peer-review history to judge which is soundest.
