Summary
I am a determined legal professional with a relentless quest to deliver favorable results. My 24 years of U.S. immigration experience spans all employment-based visa categories, including those involving extensive strategic approaches, writing and/or documentation (PERM, EB1’s, O’s, NIW’s). I solve immigration problems.
I am looking to expand my Employment Based Immigration Paralegal Services to Attorneys and Firms that need help with handling spikes in workload. Open to most employment-based cases. Flat fee based and hourly services available.
