As an immigrant to the U.S., I am uniquely positioned to assist other foreign nationals get through the immigration process. I have been a high school exchange student (J-1), college student (F-1) and a specialty occupation worker (H-1B). Of course I have experienced the trying wait for visas at US consulates, so I understand how zelous and experienced representation can make a profound difference.
I have handled all types of immigration cases, and am happy to assist you with yours, in any way I can.
