Keshab Raj Seadie began his career in real estate and corporate litigation, then pivoted exclusively to immigration in 1999 — a decision his firm attributes to a desire to serve immigrant communities. The Midtown practice he built has become one of the city’s recognized employment-immigration workhorses: more than one hundred corporations represented, thousands of immigrant and non-immigrant petitions processed, a 4.8-star record across nearly 350 Google reviews, and corporate relationships whose durability speaks for itself — one client counts over a hundred cases entrusted across twenty years.

Career History
Seadie’s litigation formation — real estate and corporate work before the 1999 pivot — shaped a practice style his firm describes in engineering terms: clear strategy, clean documentation, accurate forms, consistent employer data, strong support letters, and evidence packages that tell a coherent story. Over twenty-five-plus years the firm has represented more than one hundred domestic and international corporations, developing employment strategies for their foreign-national hires and processing thousands of petitions, while serving thousands of individual and family clients alongside. Seadie’s practice authority extends to the field’s compliance frontier — he presented on navigating H-1B employer-employee relationships and third-party site placements, the audit terrain where IT consulting and staffing companies live — and his commentary on Nepali asylum trends has appeared in The Kathmandu Post, reflecting the practice’s depth in the Nepali-speaking community his trilingual service reaches.
Practice Concentration
The employment-based apparatus is the core: H-1B specialty occupations with the compliance sophistication that third-party placements demand; L-1 intracompany transfers in both executive and specialized-knowledge variants; the treaty spectrum (E-1, E-2, E-3, TN); student and exchange statuses (F-1 OPT/CPT, J-1); PERM labor certification; and the self-sponsored elite categories — EB-1A extraordinary ability and National Interest Waivers — where the firm’s published case stories include a technology entrepreneur’s employer-free green card and a medical researcher’s NIW approval. EB-5 investor work rounds out the business side. The individual practice runs the full family, asylum, removal-defense, appeals, and naturalization spectrum, giving corporate clients’ employees and their families one roof for everything.
Track Record
The firm characterizes its record as thousands of visas and green cards obtained through careful preparation and strong advocacy — a characterization we attribute as its own, since immigration outcomes are not published in ledger form. Its published case stories are concrete: the EB-1A approval without employer sponsorship; the National Interest Waiver for a published medical researcher; multiple H-1B approvals sustaining a multinational IT consulting company’s workforce. Client-reported specifics reinforce them: green cards approved without interviews, an asylum grant a client calls life-changing, and the hundred-case, twenty-year corporate relationship noted above. This research did not independently verify individual outcomes. Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future case.
Client Voice
The review record is large and strong: 4.8 stars across 347 Google reviews, with recurring themes of clear guidance, patient direct access to Seadie himself — clients repeatedly describe him personally walking them through interviews — and named staff praised for preparation. The referral pattern is explicit: one reviewer reports that everyone they have sent to the firm has succeeded. This research did not surface any public disciplinary findings.
Beyond the Courtroom
The firm’s public-education footprint is substantial: hundreds of published articles across immigration categories, weekly news and case alerts, free eligibility assessments, and video explainers — an infrastructure serving the broader immigrant public. Seadie’s Kathmandu Post commentary and trilingual practice make the firm a recognized resource for the Nepali diaspora specifically, one of the city’s fastest-growing and least-served immigrant communities.
Recognition
Sorting per our standard: the AILA, ABA, and NYSBA memberships are professional affiliations; the seminar-speaking role on H-1B compliance is a practice-authority credential; the international press citation is editorial recognition; and the weightiest evidence in this record is structural — the hundred-corporation client base and the 347-review, 4.8-star consumer record. No marketing-program awards are claimed, and none are attributed. A disclosure we apply to every New York profile: New York State does not operate a board certification program for legal specialties comparable to the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, so no New York attorney profile on this site will describe its subject as a state-certified specialist, and this profile attributes no certification to Seadie.
New York Legal Backdrop
Immigration law is federal, and the employment-based system this practice centers on runs on regulatory machinery where documentation quality is destiny. The H-1B program’s most audited corner is exactly where this firm claims expertise: employer-employee relationship and third-party placement rules require staffing and consulting companies to document control, itineraries, and end-client work — the compliance failure point that generates denials and investigations. PERM labor certification demands precise recruitment sequences before green-card queues even begin. The self-sponsored categories run on evidence architecture: EB-1A requires documented extraordinary ability across regulatory criteria, and National Interest Waivers require proof that an applicant’s work merits waiving the job-offer requirement — both won or lost on how the record is built, exactly the craft this firm describes as its method. Student status transitions (F-1 OPT to H-1B) run on unforgiving date mechanics. And the family, asylum, and removal systems operate alongside with their own clocks — the one-year asylum deadline, civil removal proceedings with no appointed counsel. None of this is legal advice; consult a licensed immigration attorney about your situation.
Awesome Attorneys Assessment
The case for the Law Offices of Keshab Raj Seadie is industrial-grade employment immigration with personal-scale service: a hundred-corporation practice fluent in the H-1B system’s hardest compliance corners, genuine self-sponsorship (EB-1A/NIW) capability, trilingual reach into underserved communities, direct attorney access that hundreds of reviewers confirm, and a quarter century of continuity under one managing attorney.
The honest trade-offs, stated plainly: the firm’s outcome characterizations and published case stories are its own, as is standard in this field; the recognition record is structural rather than peer-institutional; a practice with this corporate volume runs on systems and staff, so individual clients should confirm who handles their matter day-to-day; and the branded marketing infrastructure (including the GreenCardMaker site name) is extensive, which prospective clients should read as the practice-development apparatus it is.
Methodology & Sourcing
This profile was researched and written independently by Awesome Attorneys in August 2026 without the participation, sponsorship, or payment of the Law Offices of Keshab Raj Seadie, P.C. Primary sources: the firm’s websites (greencardmaker.com and related pages), including its about and home pages (the 1999 founding; the real-estate and corporate-litigation prior career and pivot; the practice method description; the published case stories attributed in Track Record; the visa-category roster; the free evaluation offering). Independent verification: Cornell LII profile (the New York admission and bar number; AILA, ABA, and NYSBA memberships; the practice-area roster; the trilingual capability; the free consultation; the 2010 H-1B seminar; the hundred-corporation representation record); Avvo profile (the twenty-year, hundred-case corporate client account; the Kathmandu Post citation; client endorsements quoted in Client Voice); Birdeye aggregates (the 4.8-star, 347-review record; the asylum-approval and no-interview green-card client accounts); Yelp listing (the 246 West 38th Street address, hours, and visa-specialty roster); AILA lawyer directory (the full-service practice description); Justia directory (the firm’s renowned-record positioning, attributed as the firm’s own). The federal-law framework in the Legal Backdrop reflects the Immigration and Nationality Act’s public provisions and Department of Labor and USCIS program mechanics.
