Biography
Kim Buhler-Thomas has been practicing immigration law for over 20 years specializing in corporate and family immigration. Kim has years of experience in working with the Department of Homeland Security’s Citizenship & Immigration Services, the Department of Labor, U.S. consulates and embassies around the world as well as other state and federal agencies in order to obtain visas for her clients.
As an immigrant herself, Kim is committed to providing honest, thorough, and timely immigration services to successfully obtain various types of immigrant visas. Kim is passionate about immigrants because she is an immigrant. She represents both corporations and individuals as it relates to immigration issues. Kim considers herself "very type A" and is the mother of 8 children. Her children even call her a “tiger mom.” Kim adores her husband and subsists off diet coke. Kim has ran 29 half marathons but after marrying her husband has expanded her horizons to biking, swimming, skiing. She still does not consider golf a sport. Kim loves being a wife, mom, attorney, friend and neighbor.
