Before organizing Christensen Law International, Richard worked for a year with Erickson Immigration Group, then Zelnick and Erickson, P.C. In his work with EIG, Richard became very familiar with the immigration needs of technology companies and the requirements of immigration laws, both here in the U.S. and abroad. He gained extensive experience with the major business related immigrant and nonimmigrant visas, the PERM process and requirements, and green card filings. In addition, Richard gained familiarity with the Naturalization process through volunteer work during his time at George Mason University School of Law in Arlington, Virginia.
