Communion
My father with his parents in Poland during his First Communion. Several years after this photo, faith guided my father’s path to a new world in the United States. His journey echoes the resilience of immigrants seeking a brighter future.

Wedding
My grandparents' wedding in the 1930’s marked the beginning of a legacy that eventually led them and my mother to the United States in 1966. Their love and determination formed the basis of one part of my immigration story.

Mom and Grandma
A glimpse into my mother and grandmother's life on their Polish farm in the late 1950’s, where their strength and determination laid the foundation for their immigration journey. From Lewonie, Poland, to Chicago, Illinois, only a few short years later.

Solidarity March
Marching for Solidarity in 1980. My family took to the streets of Chicago, advocating for the freedom of Poland from Communism. The spirit of Solidarność echoes in my work, ensuring every voice finds refuge and opportunity in this country.

In 2019, Principal Attorney Beata McCann filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on behalf of a client whose H-1B nonimmigrant petition was denied. USCIS denied the petition on the grounds that a Computer Systems Analyst was not a specialty occupation.
She disagreed, so she took it to court. On March 31, 2020, Judge Contreras agreed with her. He ruled that a Computer Systems Analyst is indeed a specialty occupation as per the Occupational Outlook Handbook (“OOH”).
Beata McCann with Hallett McCann Law Group: On May 5, 2020, a judge with the United States District Court for the District of Columbia granted our motion for preliminary injunction against United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Our client filed for an H-1B petition in 2017, which was denied by USCIS twice and which was the subject of this litigation. We filed a complaint in federal court that USCIS acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner when they denied this petition.
Preliminary injunctions are difficult to obtain because we not only had to demonstrate substantial harm to the Plaintiff and to the H-1B beneficiary, but we also had to demonstrate that the Plaintiff will likely prevail on the merits of this case. We did both. While our H-1B beneficiary awaits reconsideration of his petition by USCIS, he has been granted both valid stay in the US and work authorization. We are proud to be fighting for legal immigration against an administration that is trying to eliminate it not by changing any laws, but by unilaterally changing their application of these laws.

We have been associated as well known personally Beata McCann as a Successful Immigration Attorney for nearing a decade working relationship for Synergy Technologies on employment based immigration cases. She is an excellent attorney with an abundant knowledge on the immigration front, where she successfully turned many cases into positive approvals including multiple difficult cases. She handles cases with the utmost devotion, works with a passion, by listening to concerns at personal levels traveling extra mile to make them successful approvals. I would highly recommend Beata McCann to work with on immigration needs.

Beata is great and I genuinely want to recommend her! I started working with her on an employment based Greencard in parallel to another greencard process with another attorney. And I am very impressed: She’s delivered everything on time exactly as promised, being responsive even on saturdays and sundays to get there. She was proactive and went over everything in detail with us, but at lightning speed. I also appreciate that she’s always available for general questions about the process. I’m now at a stage in this process that it took me over 4 months to get to with the other attorneys after just 1 week (!). Thank you

My first interaction with Beata was around October 2022 as I had 2 employees who required immigration paperwork and filing completed. Beata is very, very knowledgeable on this topic and even took the time to teach me about how the process works. She was thorough in everything and her customer service is beyond excellent.
