About Michael
Biography
If you or your family member is going through the immigration process or planning to file an immigration related petition, I know first hand what the experience is because I myself was a visitor’s visa holder, and green card holder at one time until I became a naturlaized citizen of the United States.
I represent client before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of State, U.S. Embassies and Consular Posts abroad, Federal and State Courts as well as in private transactions.
Since childhood I have been actively involved in Dance Sport, otherwise known as Ballroom Dancing and have successfully participated in many National and International Competitions. I currently teache Dance Sport at a leading dance studio in Boston and on occasion judge Dance Sport Competitions.
