Representative Accomplishments

Professionally, my focus is employment-based immigration law. I represent companies and individuals in obtaining nonimmigrant visas and immigrant visas/greencards. In the nonimmigrant area, I work with engineers, scientists, researchers, IT professionals, accountants, investors, professors and teachers, performing artists, actors and actresses, athletes and others in obtaining nonimmigrant visas in the following categories: H1B, Trade NAFTA (TN),  L1A, L1B, O, P,  J, B1, R visas for religious workers,E Investors and Treaty traders, E-3 Australians and other categories. In the realm of greencards, my expertise is in PERM Labor Certification and labor certification exempt applications. As far as labor certification exempt applications, I have a niche specialty in National Interest Waivers, Aliens of Extraordinary Ability and Outstanding Researchers.. A large part of my practice also relates to family-based immigration (e.g. a US citizen spouse claiming their foreign spouse).  Not only do we help prepare applications for processing in the United States and for consular processing abroad, but I spent a great deal of time with my clients preparing them for interviews and attending interviews with government immigration authorities when feasible.  In the context of family-based immigration, I help my clients work through difficult problems relating to waivers, illegal status in the United States, issues with status violations and evidence necessary to support their case.. I also work on a variety of other immigration related matters including naturalization, consultation on the impact ofcriminal behavior on immigration status and asylum and refugee law.  As noted in mybiography below I teach  "Asylum and Refugee Law. " at Albany Law school.  I have been assisting asylum seekers for nearly 20 years.
