About Katja
Biography
Katja Kallis Hedding practices exclusively in the area of immigration law. Born in Finland and having lived, studied and worked in several different countries, the private practice of immigration law was a natural choice for her.
Katja has worked as an attorney in the Finnish Parliament at the Ombudsman’s Office and as a law clerk in a Finnish District court. She has also worked as an attorney in New York and Nashville.
Being a U.S. immigrant herself, Katja has a good understanding of how hard it can be to go through the immigration/visa process. Katja will take great effort and care to help you through the complex US immigration system.
Keep the Dream and File the Visa.
I practice exclusively in the area of immigration law. I work with clients from all over the world.

Absolutely fantastic
I think what sets Katja apart is her knowledge and experience. Yes, I believe having an attorney that went through the process him or herself is invaluable, but Katja also knows the little things that would trip one up during the process. She managed our AOS process, and we consider her family. ...

U-vusa
Katja Hedding knows what she is doing. She is very knowledgeable on immigration law. She helped me, when nobody else would. I hired Katja after my first consultation. I got my legal status ( u-visa) finally after almost 5 years . Hiring her was the best decision I ever made.
