Her clients range from Fortune 500 corporations and multinational companies to startups in a variety of industries such as telecommunications, information technology, engineering, education and healthcare. She works with clients to craft plans that ensure mobility of their executives, managers and specialized knowledge workers, and provides skillful and meticulous guidance on all facets of nonimmigrant and immigrant visas. Meredith has represented clients before U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services, the Department of Labor, the Department of State and DHS Asylum Offices.

Meredith has extensive experience successfully representing individual clients in family-based immigration, obtaining waivers, affirmative asylum cases and complex naturalization matters. She also enjoys representing religious workers on R-1 visas and helping them navigate the green card process.
