Why do I practice U.S. immigration law?


I practice immigration law because it allows me to assist in securing a benefit that can transform a client’s life. Having lived in various countries (Jordan, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea and Japan) as a foreign service spouse, I personally witnessed the challenges that foreign nationals face in their efforts to immigrate to the U.S. Helping to secure immigration benefits for various clients has been particularly rewarding especially in helping artists, performers, and entrepreneurs to navigate and secure O and P visas.
