My practice includes a range of immigration and related labor and employment matters. I am an experienced attorney able to handle all immigration matters, including H-1B visas, L-1A, L-1B, and H visas, J-1 visas, E-1, E-2, and Australian E-3 visas, F visas and the OPT period option, DACA and DAPA issues, O and P visas, TN visas, PERM labor certifications, permanent resident, investor-, employment-, and family-based visa petitions, deportation and asylum cases, and naturalization and renunciation matters. I have worked on EB-5 green card investor petitions, both direct and through Regional Centers for Foreign Investment. I perform on site I-9 audits, advise regularly on I-9 compliance and E-Verify obligations, and oversee and respond to issues relating to employer-generated audits and Immigration and Custom Enforcement.
After completing law school, I received some law-related certificates, including: Certificate in Public International Law, International Courts of Justice, the Hague; Certificate on E.E.C. Law, London University; and comparative private international law, Institut Universitaire de Hautes Etudes Internationales, Geneva, Switzerland. Aside from English, I am fluent in French and speak conversational German.
Aside from family, dogs, cooking, swmming, hiking and classical music, my passion is international education and employment opportunity, both in and outside the Uinted States, to assist people to reach their potential and share their gifts with others.
