Consulting Services

Many institutions or companies are not prepared to deal with the complex issues that can arise from enrolling or recruiting international students or employing nonresident aliens. They have no place to turn for advice and information except for high priced immigration lawyers. Penalties for noncompliance with federal laws can be severe for the institution or company and the nonresident alien (decertification, fines and deportation). Immigration Concepts can provide your institution or company with the information and knowledge needed when enrolling or recruiting international students or hiring nonresident aliens.


As the Director of an International Services office at a major University with an international population of over 4,000, Ron Cushing is uniquely qualified to present a variety of information relevant to enrolling or recruiting international students or employing/paying nonresident aliens. He has extensive experience running a comprehensive, compliance based International Services Office. His experience includes serving as the Principal Designated School Office and Responsible Officer for the University of Cincinnati's SEVIS programs. He has extensive experience filing employment based immigration petitions (H-1B, TN, O) and immigrant petitions (green cards) with the federal government. He is knowledgeable on other issues relevant to nonresident aliens including taxation, withholding and I-9 completion. He also has extensive experience developing international recruiting plans and managing an agent network.

Immigration Concept’s can design full day workshops specifically tailored to meet the needs of your institution or company, including "how to" workshops on SEVIS certification or compliance, international student recruitment and strategic planning, filing employment based immigration petitions, I-9 compliance, taxation and withholding, etc.

Workshops and other consulting services can be arranged by calling 513-226-0583 or use the contact us form.
