Why I practice immigration law.. I am a first generation immigrant to the United States. I have experienced firsthand what my clients are going though as new arrivals in the U.S. I was born in Beirut, Lebanon, to a Lebanese father and a British mother. My father was with the Lebanese Foreign Service and my family moved to a new country approximately every 3-4 years, so I grew up living in different countries.. When I was about two months old, we moved to Brazil where I spent the first two years of my life. In fact, until the age of 8, I spoke both English and Portuguese. When I was two years old, my family moved to Detroit where I lived until the age of 8. This is where I learned how to speak English with an American accent. At the age of 8, my family moved back to Lebanon for three years. I learned how to speak Arabic here as I didn’t speak any when I arrived. Unfortunately, I forgot my Portuguese in the process. At the age of 11, just as the civil war was getting underway in Lebanon, we moved to Sydney, Australia, and lived there for four years. For the first time in my life my birthday was in the summer, so I had four years of birthday parties at the beach.. After Australia, my father was assigned to Islamabad, Pakistan. At that time, 1979, Islamabad was a brand new city and still quite empty. There were three lane roads extending in all directions and sometimes only a donkey cart to be seen traveling down the road. The entire city of Islamabad had only one movie theatre, which had two screens – one English and one Urdu.. During the four years that my family lived in Pakistan, I spent about two of those years back in Lebanon attending the same British school that I had as a child, finishing my last two years of high school there. The Lebanese Civil War was in full swing at this time and I spent many nights in a bomb shelter until eventually our apartment received a direct hit and was destroyed. It was time to move again.. When I graduated from high school, I moved back home to Pakistan for six months and served as my father’s secretary at the Lebanese Embassy. While back in Pakistan, some friends and I took a trip to India, where we visited Amritsar, New Delhi and Agra. I immediately fell in love with India.. At the age of 17, I returned to the United States for the first time since I’d left at age 8. I returned as an F-1 student and attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Eventually, I was sponsored for a green card and became a U.S. Permanent Resident and then a U.S. citizen.. Once I graduated from U of M, I sold all of my belongings and returned to India for six months. At that time, my father was serving as the Lebanese Ambassador to India and so I had a “home base” in New Delhi and was able to spend some time with my family before setting off with my backpack to travel around India and Nepal. Approximately 90% of all of my clients are from India and I have actually been to the home towns of many of my clients.. Following my travels through India and Nepal, I returned to the U.S. and became a Technical Writer for about 10 years, but attended Wayne State University Law School at night for the last 4 years. At the time, there was only one 2-credit course on immigration law that was offered at WSU. I took that class and realized that I wanted to practice immigration law. Upon graduating from WSU Law School, I began working for a large law firm that specialized in immigration law. In fact, it was the firm where my Immigration Law Professor was employed and we worked together for several years.. In 2010, following about 12 years of employment at this firm, I left to open my own law office. I have been practicing immigration law since January 1999.

I started working in immigration law while a graduate student at Columbia University. I volunteered for Catholic Social Services in New York City learning about asylum laws and helping asylum seekers from Cuba, Guatemala and Nigeria. My love of immigration law and those caught in the system grew from that experience and became my focus and my passion.. After graduating from the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1999, I was hired as the first attorney on staff at the Immigration Assistance Program in Kalamazoo, Michigan. In 2001, I became its director when the program moved under the auspices of the Diocese of Kalamazoo. As the Program Director for 11 years, I led the Diocese of Kalamazoo Immigration Assistance Program in serving thousands of families through the immigration process and advocated for immigrants’ rights and protections in the state and nationally. I helped reunite families and keep others together. In addition, I helped hundreds of committed and truly amazing members of our community become new citizens of the United States.. In 2010, I was asked by the Diocese of Grand Rapids to build an immigration legal services program. With the unwavering commitment of the Diocese, I was able to establish the Diocese of Grand Rapids Immigration Legal Services, which now provides quality and compassionate legal services to hundreds of low-income immigrants and their families who live in Grand Rapids and surrounding counties.. In July of 2013, I opened Inquilla Law. I want Inquilla Law to be a law practice dedicated to serving immigrants and their families. I remain committed to providing affordable, compassionate, and honest counsel to those seeking to immigrate and to those who already have made the United States their home.

Before joining Ellis Porter, John worked as an Attorney in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the high-skilled immigration field and played a key role in managing the legal strategies for thousands of EB-1A, EB-1B, EB-2 NIW and O-1 cases.. In the course of managing this high volume of applications, John soon realized that personally-customized EB-1A, EB-1B, EB-2 NIW and O-1 strategies consistently get better results than using a one-size-fits-all template approach, and this inspired him to co-found Immigration Advocates, PLLC with David Allen and Andy Ingebritson in July 2017. The firm's mission was to enhance each client's experience and improve case outcomes by focusing more on truly understanding their unique professional achievements, and then developing personally-customized case strategies that highlight those achievements in the most compelling way.. Ellis Porter shares this philosophy, so it made perfect sense for John and his attorney colleagues to join forces with Ellis Porter to create our High-Skilled Immigration Services team.. Outside the office, John enjoys spending time with his family, and spending time outdoors biking, running and hiking. He also enjoys sneaking in a good book about history, politics or law whenever possible.
