My name is Rachel Game and I am an immigration attorney located in Oregon. I am a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). I joined AILA in 2006 when I first started representing clients in immigration matters.. I have lived and travelled throughout our wonderful planet. I am curious about other countries, their people and cultures. Working as an immigration attorney gives me a unique chance to meet people from so many places. I myself have been an immigrant and so I have first hand knowledge on the importance of the immigration process.. I was born in Portland, Oregon and my family moved to Canada when I was just an infant. I lived in Canada until my teenage years when my family returned to the United States. Funny enough I felt like an immigrant when we moved to the USA, since I had never lived in the country of my birth. During my time in university and law school I enrolled in study abroad programs to work on my Spanish. I studied law in Mexico and Ecuador which really helped me become bilingual.. After completing my studies and passing the Oregon State Bar I moved to Zimbabwe, Africa where I ran a group of businesses, mostly in the tourism industry, for about a decade. With the political climate in Zimbabwe deteriorating and my training in law calling me back, I returned to Oregon in 2006. I started my own law firm and have enjoyed the relationships I have formed with so many clients and their families.

I'm an immigration lawyer at Portland Immigration Law. Thank you for taking the time to read a bit about what made me want to practice immigration law.. I was born in Oregon and have spent most of my life here. After finishing Sandy High School and Oregon State University, I worked abroad teaching English as a second language in South Korea and Kyrgyzstan. While away, I missed my home and family here in Oregon, but was treated with great generosity and hospitality throughout my travels. In Kyrgyzstan, I met my wife--the first person with whom I would navigate the U.S. immigration process.. During law school, I worked for Sponsors Organized to Assist Refugees (SOAR) and later the Oregon Justice Resource Center (OJRC)--both Portland-based non-profits--providing immigration legal services to individuals who did not have the means to hire a private attorney. These were meaningful experiences for me because they gave me the opportunity to use the knowledge I had been cultivating at Lewis & Clark Law School to make real and positive changes in people's lives.. Later, I spent a year working for the Troutdale City Attorney's Office prosecuting misdemeanors in municipal court. Spending time as a prosecutor provided me with a valuable look into the criminal justice system. It gave me the opportunity to understand the process and reasoning behind the charges leveled against those I now assist.. In my daily life, I try to remember the kindness strangers showed me when I was far away from everything and everyone I knew. In doing so, I can remind myself of how vulnerable we are at times and how we all have a duty to one another as neighbors, no matter the physical locations of our domiciles.

People come to our office during some of the most difficult times in their lives and I believe it is our job to ease as much of this difficulty as possible.
