Immigrants need an attorney who can relate to their unique immigration situation and who can guide them through the complexities of the immigration system. This is where I can help you. My name is Claudia Jocelyne Kokaz Muslu. I am an immigrant and an immigration attorney.. I have a law degree from the University of Istanbul in Turkey; a Master of Law from Cornell University, Ithaca, New York and a Master of Business Administration from Simmons College Graduate School of Management in Boston, MA. I am fluent in English, Turkish and French. I know basic Spanish, Italian, and Greek.. I started my legal career as a corporate and transactional law attorney at the offices of White & Case, Istanbul, Turkey. I was licensed in Turkey and I worked on international business transactions assisting many US and European multinational companies with their inbound and outbound investments in Europe for four years. In Boston, I worked for a high tech start-up as well as Morgan Stanley, an investment bank.. When I moved to Boston, MA in 1999, I started to experience the many facets of the US immigration system. As I dealt with the immigration system, I became very frustrated. During 14 years, I was on many different types of visas. Firstly, I was a student on an F-1 student visa, and the wife of a medical doctor with a J-1 waiver subject to the two year home residency requirement. Then, I was the winner of DV diversity visa lottery who was not eligible to get it. Afterwards, I had an H-1B visa teaching law in Virginia. Finally, in 2013, I became a naturalized US citizen. This long and bumpy adventure in the US immigration system sparked my interest to learn and practice US immigration law. Until I became a naturalized US citizen, I received wrong advice more than once. I ended up questioning and researching every immigration issue I faced and was convinced that it is possible to give better immigration services.. First, I studied the theory of immigration law in depth. Then I taught immigration law, at the Appalachian School of Law in Virginia. When we transferred to Ohio, I started the immigration practice at a suburban Ohio law firm. I practiced business and family immigration and international and local business transactions in Ohio. After relocating to Atlanta, I managed citizenship cases under a United States Citizenship and Immigration Services grant, consular processing, fee waivers, and family immigration matters at Catholic Charities. I also volunteer as an immigration attorney. I have volunteered for Jewish Family Service of Springfield, MA as a citizenship attorney. Most recently, I volunteered for Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants.. Throughout my career, I have been serving the needs of immigrants from many different places including Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and South America. In the summer of 2016, during my trip to Turkey, I faced a lot of immigration related questions. This urgent need in Turkey, with my previous personal and professional experiences led me to start my immigration practice.. I have won a very hard motion to reopen case for an F-1 student and his family who was going to be sent to Turkey and kept them in the USA, reunited many families through consular processing and adjustment of status, helped with humanitarian situations, and obtained student and business visas. I have published articles and given presentations in the United States and in Europe regarding immigration and international law matters. I am a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and I am a licensed attorney in Ohio and in Massachusetts.. I will focus on achieving your immigration goals rather than telling you what cannot be done. My goal is to guide and lead you honestly and effectively in your immigration to the USA with detailed attention and individualized research for your specific case.
