Seham Elmalak Bio
I am an Associate Attorney at the Romero Firm. I have experience representing detained and non-detained clients in immigration matters, including removal defense, asylum, family-based petitions, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status and naturalization applications. I also have experience handling municipal/traffic and family court matters.. My passion and drive to practice immigration law is rooted in my own immigration story. I was born in Cairo, Egypt and later became a naturalized citizen of the United States. This gave me firsthand experience in all phases of the immigration and naturalization process. I strive to provide quality representation and help clients navigate through the complicated immigration process..

Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot. I enjoy traveling and learning about different cultures and so far have visited Egypt, Ecuador, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Austria and Canada.. I am a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association and the New Jersey and New York chapters of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). I serve on the New Members Division Committee and the Law Student Liaison Committee of the New Jersey Chapter, as well as the Citizenship Day Committee of the New York Chapter.. I am licensed in New Jersey and New York. I speak Arabic and have a working knowledge of Spanish.
