Firm: Sedna Law, P.C.

I am a first generation Chinese-American immigrant, married to a French immigrant, and I am an immigration lawyer.. My family immigrated to the U.S. when I was a young child.  I faced the challenges of every immigrant: learning English, integrating into the culture of my new home country, and learning about myself in a society where I was a visible minority.. When I married a Frenchman, through him, I experienced the difficulties of an adult immigrant: getting his French education recognized by American companies, postponing plans to find his dream job, and keeping up his confidence in a culture with different social rules and values.. These personal experiences led me to the decision to devote my career to immigration law.  I am especially interested in helping married couples with their green card and citizenship application.  I chose to specialize in marriage immigration and citizenship because I want to take what I have learned from my own marriage immigration process to help other couples with theirs.. I remember the emotional strain, uncertainty, and helplessness my husband and I felt during the immigration application process.   Before my husband and I were married, and while I was a law student, I applied for a fiancé visa for him, on my own.  It took hours of learning.  I didn't get everything right because I had to submit additional evidence, which meant more waiting and more feelings of being stuck.  The whole process was more stressful than final exams.. I share my story so that other couples going through the marriage green card process won’t feel so alone. I would be happy to listen to your story, and help you tell it to the immigration officer so that your application can be approved and you’ll be able to start and build your life together.

This area of law requires much outside-the-box thinking and therefore each case has its own set of challenges that must be looked at from all angles. It is therefore always thought-provoking, and with that, this field of law remains interesting. Many times it also encompasses different areas of law so there is definitely never any monotony as there are never two cases exactly alike! Ultimately, I find that helping corporations and individuals achieve their objectives is intrinsically rewarding.
