Rebecca Bentley, Esq.

Rebecca’s practice covers a broad range of business-based immigration matters, including:

• Temporary work visas — H-1B specialty occupation visas, L-1 intracompany transferee visas, TN visas for USMCA professionals, O-1 visas for individuals of extraordinary ability, E-1/E-2 treaty trader and investor visas, and B-1 classifications.
• Permanent residency — employment-based green card petitions including extraordinary ability, traditional employer-sponsored PERM filings, and national interest waivers with significant experience in family-based immigration filings.
• Family-based immigration — including naturalization applications
• Cross-border representation — counseling Canadian professionals, executives, and investors entering the U.S. market, a cornerstone of Berardi Immigration Law’s U.S.–Canada practice

For Rebecca, every filing represents something bigger than paperwork: a business owner’s vision for expansion, a company’s next hire, or a professional’s plan to build a future in the United States. She considers it an honor to be part of each client’s journey and brings that sense of purpose to every case. Her academic focus on cross-border legal studies and global politics gives her a practical understanding of how international business and U.S. immigration law intersect, which helps her translate complex requirements into clear next steps for her clients.

Rebecca earned her Juris Doctor, magna cum laude, from the University at Buffalo School of Law in June 2021, with a concentration in Cross Border Legal Studies. During law school, she served as a Note and Comment Editor for the Buffalo Law Review and contributed to the Buffalo Human Rights Law Review, developing her legal research, writing, and analytical skills. Rebecca also served as Outreach Coordinator for the Domestic Violence Task Force, participated in the Family Violence and Women’s Rights Clinic, and was an Honorary Student Member of the Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York. Through these academic and extracurricular experiences, she developed a strong foundation in legal advocacy and community outreach.

In her free time, Rebecca loves traveling and exploring new places, embracing opportunities to experience different cultures and create lasting memories along the way.
