North American Lighting (NAL) heavily relies on sponsored
employees to fuel its Technology Research Center, located in
Farmington Hills, Mich. It takes a great deal of innovation to
become the number one automotive lighting supplier in North
America. As a member of the Japan-based Koito Group, NAL
prides itself in "The Kaizen Way." And its team of engineers, many
foreign-born, answer the call each day to help maintain and
advance its reputation.
"Kaizen refers to improvements that are
small or large, one-time or continuous,
individual or organizational, and
can apply to people, processes and
products."— North American Lighting
"We have a lot of high-level positions that require experience and
education — and a lot of foreign nationals are able to hold those
positions," says Carey Clements, corporate HR specialist at NAL.
"Doing immigration correctly, and making sure we are getting the
best people into our positions, is one of the biggest goals for our
company."
With upwards of 70 sponsored employees needing a variety of
visa renewal and green card applications processed, immigration
is an important task for NAL. Yet before enlisting Envoy as an
immigration services provider, the employer depended on a
traditional law firm to fulfill its visa application needs.
Problem
NAL was given the rigmarole by their previous attorney, as
inquiries about application status updates were often met
with confusing responses and subpar support.
