I am the third of four children born to Sesinando (from Burgos, Pangasinan, Philippines) and Lourdes (from Aparri, Cagayan, Philippines) of Renton, Washington and St. Anthony Parish. I attended preschool in Quezon City.  We then immigrated to the U.S. in 1974 and lived in the Rainier Valley in Seattle for several years before moving permanently to Renton.  My father worked during the day as an accountant, while my mother worked at night as an registered nurse, while the four kids tried to stay away from trouble at school. Eventually, all the children finished school with accounting degrees, but the third one couldn't cut it as an accountant.  One day, I learned that my father was a corporate lawyer in the Philippines, and that my mother was able to obtain a work visa as a nurse to come to the United States.  She filled out the work visa application on her own. So it was my destiny to become an immigration lawyer, to help others, and I love what I do.

While Ray’s immigration practice is global in reach, with service to individuals and organizations across the United States and beyond, he is located primarily at the firm’s three globally-linked offices: New York, New York; Bridgewater, New Jersey; and Allentown, Pennsylvania.. Ray’s immigration practice is broad, ranging from areas of corporate and employment immigration and related compliance to immigration litigation before agencies and courts across the United States, for corporations and individuals alike. His experience includes immigrant and non-immigrant visas, visa overstays, immigrants who entered without inspection or authorization, EB-5 investor visas (serving investors, regional centers, and project developers), citizenship and naturalization claims, deportation and removal litigation at the immigration court and all appellate levels, E Visas, E-3 Visas, H-1B Visas, H-2B Visas, L Visas, O Visas, P Visas, Q Visas, R Visas, TN Visas, Exceptional Ability Immigrant Visas, Extraordinary Ability Immigrant Visas, Physician and Nursing Visas, K-1 Visas, K-3 Visas, Multinational Manager/Executive Immigrant Visas, Outstanding Professor/Researcher Immigrant Visas, PERM Labor Certification, Family Petitions, Adjustment of Status, Marriage Petitions, Asylum, VAWA applications, and Immigration Waivers, such as the Visa Waiver Program, National Interest Waivers, Hardship Waivers, and J Waivers..

In state and federal trial and appellate courts, he seeks post-conviction relief for the underlying crime that led to the removal proceedings and serves as immigration counsel to non-citizens accused of removable crimes. Ray’s ability to understand each interaction of criminal law with immigration law has made him a leading expert on issues of “crimigration” before state and federal courts reviewing post-conviction relief claims..

I have been a practicing trial lawyer for twenty-five years now.  I have chosen to limit my practice, almost exclusively, to criminal and immigration related matters.  Many of my clients are long term lawful permanent residents who are trying to avoid deportation-removal due to a criminal conviction.  I also defend many non-citizens facing  criminal charges in the New York State Courts in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens Counties.. Because I am well versed in immigration law, I can advise my client of the direct immigration consequences of a proposed plea bargain.  It is also important for them to know when they will need to go to trial if they wish to try to avoid being deported.  Unfortunately,   non-citizens often plead guilty without fully understanding how their guilty plea will impact them, for example, not only can certain convictions result in deportation-removal, but the conviction may also subject the person to indefinite immigration detention while their proceedings are pending.   I frequently lecture on this area of the law at continuing legal education seminars,  and other lawyers routinely contact me to discuss strategies for handling these difficult types of cases.. While most of my cases involve defense at the trial level, before the U.S. Immigration Courts, and New York State Criminal Courts, I also handle appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals, petitions for review before the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, and Federal habeas corpus proceedings - all related to deportation-removal issues.  Some of the cases I have litigated have resulted in favorable decisions which have not only helped my clients, but  have also benefited other,  similarly situated, individuals.. Sometimes the only way a long term resident of the U.S. can avoid deportation-removal, is to vacate or reopen the underlying conviction which has caused them to be placed in proceedings.   We have been able to do this for many of our clients, especially in cases where the client pled guilty to a charge without having been told by their attorney that their guilty plea would render them deportable-removable.. I am proud to say that I was active in the Central American human rights movement during the 1980's and early 1990's, and during that time I did volunteer work with one of the leading human rights groups in El Salvador.   As a result of that work, I learned Spanish, and today many of my clients are from that part of the world.  The best part of the work I do is helping people through difficult times, finding them a "second chance", and keeping families together.

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.

I have dedicated my career to zealously fight for justice and to fearlessly protect immigrant's rights for 44 years.  I am not a young lawyer but an attorney that has lived and experienced changes in Immigration laws throughout 44 years.  I began my journey as a young lawyer working as the first attorney to handle deportation matters for the United States Catholic Conference in El Paso, Texas.. Later, I opened my own private practice in El Paso, Texas where I represented individuals in deportation matters for 15 years.  As an attorney in private practice , I was well known for my common sense yet aggressive approach in representing clients from different countries.  I was appointed the nation's first Mexican-American female U.S. Immigration Judge on April 2, 1995.  I retired as a U.S. Immigration Judge on April 2, 2015.  As an Immigration Judge, I was well known for my dedication and determination to be fair and just, as well as a trailblazer in applying the law to novel issues.   I issued noteworthy decisions including the granting of asylum to female victims of femicide in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico; those fleeing violence in Central America and Mexico; and female victims of domestic violence.  Other noteworthy decisions include the granting of applications for cancellation of removal and other waivers available under immigration law.   I authored thousands of decisions in removal and deportation proceedings.  I mentored many new Immigration Judges and DOJ/EOIR attorneys.  I authoried the Aggravated Felony Outline since 2000 available in the DOJ/Virtual Law Library and on the internet.. I have been Board Certified in Immigration and Nationality Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since December, 2010.. After my retirement as a United States Immigration Judge, I decided to utilize all my skills, knowledge, and experience in defending those in need of immigration representation.  In December of 2015, after a brief period in Houston, Texas, I returned to San Antonio, Texas and set up my own law office. I am elated to be back where I started in the private practice of law.  Since my retirement in April, 2015, I have been fearless in my representation of immigrants in removal proceedings.  Since I was an Immigration Judge, I am fully familiar with how Immigration Judges need to follow the law and will not stand by while your rights are violated by new immigration judges that are not fully familiar with immigration law. I will protect your rights.  If you hire me, I will be the one representing you and advocating for you.. Since I have been in private practice, I have been successful in my defense of legal permanent residents in removal proceedings.  I have obtained termination of removal proceedings in several cases as I have put the government (DHS) to the task of having to prove their case and they have been unable to do so.  I am hired often to enter my appearance after other younger and less experienced lawyers fail in their representation.  If you have been denied, I may be able to investigate your case and save you from deportation.  I have developed a special skill in representing asylum seekers from all countries in the world including MEXICO,  CUBA, BRAZIL, AFGHANISTAN, EL SALVADOR, HONDURAS, GUATEMALA, SYRIA, PAKISTAN, INDIA, CHINA, UBEKISTAN, TAJEKISTAN, etc.,  Recently, I've been successful in the representation of gays, transgender and HIV positive individuals in removal proceedings.. I have a high rate of approval for persons in deportation/removal proceedings who apply to remain in the United States because they have been in the U.S. for 10 years, are persons of good moral character, and their removal would cause exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to their U.S. citizen children, U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident spouses, or U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident parents.. I have been successfull in overcoming denials for legal permanent residents based on false claims to U.S. citizenship.. I am also very knowledgeable in applications for individuals to become legal permanent residents through family members petitioning for them.   If you have a dicrect amily member in the military, you may be eligible for a special permit called the "Parole In Place".. I am pleased to be of service to my community and to search for ways to save you from deportation.

As an immigrant myself, I can relate to my clients on a different level because I have gone through the process with my family.  As a child, I saw how difficult it was for my parents to raise three small children in a foreign country.  My father's disappointment with attorneys who could not deliver on their promises is a salient memory for me as a child.  I remember translating the lawyer's bad news to my father, which made me so sad.  As a child, it was this experience that made me want to become an attorney (in my mind a superhero) so I can help my father.. Today, I see my father in all my clients, which gives me the power and persistence to obtain the proper result.  Although I wasn't able to help my father as a child, I get so much satisfaction in getting results for my clients even if it means taking the government to federal court to get it done.. I also owe immense gratitude to my wife, Deanna, who was the only person that believed in my dream of becoming an attorney.  I decided to go to law school after I was married and had two small children. With my wife's love and inspiration, I was able to achieve my dream.  I'm blessed and thankful to have her in my life.. - I dedicate my practice in immigration law to the memory of my father - Barkev Asatrian.
