EXPERIENCED IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY and FORMER US DEPARTMENT OF STATE FOREIGN SERVICE OFFICER and CONSULAR OFFICER with over two decades of experience in immigration law & policy and CONSULAR VISA ADJUDICATIONS! I have worked nearly three decades to support an America open and welcoming to immigrants and connected to the world. As an immigration attorney, diplomat, policy scholar, and entrepreneur I have experienced firsthand the enormous opportunity and scope of the American Dream. This dream requires nurturing to prosper, and these days it can be challenging for many to achieve their dream. I remain just as committed now to helping you as when I began practicing law 26 years ago. Read further for more about me. NEW SERVICE AVAILABLE!: *** EMERGENCY VISA APPOINTMENTS *** As most U.S. embassies and consulates overseas remain closed for most visa services, as they have been since March 2020, obtaining an emergency appointment has become essential for qualified applicants with an urgent need to travel to the U.S. I have successfully obtained emergency appointments, and then visas, for several of my clients who need this specialized service. If you, your family member, a friend, or a key employee fit this description, or know some someone who does, book a Lawfully session with me to discuss how we may obtain an emergency visa appointment. MY PRACTICE FOCUSES ON FOUR MAIN AREAS: 1) Complex Consular (and USCIS) Solutions 2) Consular Processing/Interview Preparation 3) High Merit Global Migration (Residency & citizenship by investment or entrepreneurship programs) 4) Government Relations Among the biggest challenges immigrants and visa applicants coming to America currently face is the Consular Visa process and the USCIS adjudications process. Both have become far more rigorous and complex in recent years. My response has been to offer my clients exceptional guidance and expertise to help them navigate even the trickiest immigration challenge.
