Josue Soncuya Villanueva

An experienced attorney with over 10 years of immigration law practice in the United States.

I am an innovative legal strategist specializing in US immigration, amongst numerous other areas, I have pioneered a successful private practice by growing substantial client and referral bases with foreign individuals and high profile persons, as well as organizations ranging from start ups to large multinationals. An expert in all aspects of the immigration process and the unique legal nuances of countries around the globe, I am highly skilled at obtaining status on a temporary or permanent basis whether for a single person or massive numbers of international people seeking to enter the US. Combining a continuous drive to master each new area I encounter with a breadth of knowledge in other specialties including, but not limited to, family, criminal, business, bankruptcy, and personal injury law, I am confident I will prove to be an effective and fearless advocate.

Effectively translating complex legal concepts to audiences on all levels and from all cultures, I quickly earn confidence and trust in my integrity and the services I provide. Taking a personal interest in achieving the very best outcomes possible for all those that I serve, I go above and beyond to ensure expectations are not only met, they are surpassed. 

Some examples of highlights throughout my career in solo practice are:

1. Building loyal client and referral bases with companies of all sizes spanning from start ups to multinationals in a variety of fields including, but not limited to, high tech, scientific, manufacturing, and academic.
2. Advising numerous employers with large numbers of foreign national employees on effective cost efficient strategies for the high volume processing of immigration petitions and applications.
3. Earning a reputation for my expertise in complex matters involving temporary and permanent classification for "aliens of extraordinary ability," "outstanding researchers," the "national interest waiver" of labor certification, and the waiver of 2 year home country resident requirements for "J-I" exchange visitors.
4. Providing effective representation of foreign musical artists seeking concert tours in the US.
5. Achieving successful outcomes for people fleeing persecution in home countries in obtaining US asylum.

I believe that my professional background has me well-prepared for the types of challenges a legal representation will entail.
