About Andre
Biography
I am the son of a Pakistani-Indian immigrant mother and native New Yorker father. I was raised in Tempe, Arizona. I love seeing a good film, eating some good food, and of course traveling. I have studied in France and have worked in Thailand and Cambodia. I have traveled several times to Europe, Southeast Asia and South Asia including India and Pakistan.
I believe in the great potential that new immigrants bring to this country and am a strong supporter of immigration reform that will benefit immigrants. As a son of a Pakistani immigrant, I understand the difficulties new immigrants face when trying to gain entry into the United States and to keep families together. I will work hard to reunite families and protect those facing removal. As a human rights advocate, I am aware of the suffering that some immigrants have faced in their home countries. I will fight for those who were persecuted because of their beliefs or social identity, so that they may live life genuinely and free from harm.

Andre is extremely nice, knowledgeable, and easy to work with
I worked with Andre on my citizenship application. I was really nervous about the process, because I have lived in the US for almost 40 years, and have deep roots here; if anything had gone wrong, it would have been deeply problematic.

Recommended from Start to Finish
I had a very complex case based on asylum; due to my previous travel history visiting the US and returning my home country, filing for asylum would be difficult.
