Experience
Successfully compiled EB-1, O-1, and NIW petitions for foreign nationals, resulting in high approval rates.
Drafted persuasive RFEs and NOIDs yielding favorable outcomes for complex business immigration cases.
Contributed to a major victory while working in his law school’s immigration law clinic, where he successfully argued for bond on behalf of a detained client. His strategic argument that the client’s conviction did not involve moral turpitude led to the client’s eligibility for bond, and his persuasive advocacy convinced the judge to grant bond in a highly challenging case.
