Miller Mayer

What Miller Mayer does

Miller Mayer is a US immigration-focused law firm organized as a New York limited liability partnership (Miller Mayer, LLP), founded in 1986 and headquartered at 215 E. State Street, Suite 200, Ithaca, NY, with a satellite office in Denver, Colorado. The firm's core practice is US immigration law, spanning corporate immigration services (employment-based green cards including EB-1, EB-2/NIW, EB-3, PERM labor certification and non-immigrant visas H-1B, L-1, O-1, TN, E-3, E-1/E-2, R-1), EB-5 individual investor representation, EB-5 regional center and project representation, and specialized healthcare/academic visa work (J-1 waivers, Conrad 30, HPSA/MUA). The firm has filed EB-5 petitions benefiting over 16,000 individuals and achieved over 3,000 I-829 approvals, with approval rates it states are far above industry norms. It also offers complementary civil litigation, matrimonial and family law, and business services practices, though immigration is the dominant revenue and identity driver.

The firm's central technology is MM Elite, a proprietary AI-powered immigration management platform built on Salesforce that automates case workflow and delivers real-time, customizable workforce visibility reports to corporate clients managing foreign national employees. The platform is positioned as the technological backbone of the corporate immigration practice rather than a standalone product, and the firm operates localized websites in Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese to serve a global EB-5 investor client base across China, Vietnam, India, South Korea, South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, and France.

Miller Mayer operates on a professional services revenue model, charging consultation fees for initial immigration attorney consultations (credited toward legal fees if the client engages within two months) plus standard legal fees across its practice areas. Go-to-market is sales-led, driven by direct attorney-client engagement, thought leadership via a 2,358+ article News & Views blog and Immigration Newsletter, earned media through Steve Yale-Loehr's frequent national press quotes, webinars co-hosted with Cornell Law School, and events with EB-5 partners such as CanAm Enterprises. The firm is independently partner-owned with no disclosed institutional investment.
