Rabia is an Associate at Fragomen's Chicago office, where she advises individuals and multinational corporate clients on a wide range of U.S. immigration matters, including both employment and talent-based immigrant and nonimmigrant matters. She represents clients across diverse industries, including automobile, agriculture, automation and real estate investment with respect to PERM labor certifications as well as nonimmigrant visa categories including H-1B, L-1, O-1 and TN.

Rabia has extensive experience preparing talent-based immigration petitions, including EB-1A and EB-2 National Interest Waiver matters for clients with extraordinary ability or exceptional achievements.

Prior to joining Fragomen, Rabia worked at a San Francisco-based boutique immigration law firm, where she oversaw the business immigration team, supervised paralegals, developed case strategies, reviewed filings and advised clients on immigration planning and compliance. Her experience also includes family-based, humanitarian, naturalization, administrative appeal and federal court-related immigration matters.

Rabia is dedicated to pro bono service and volunteered with Beyond Legal Aid in Chicago in 2024 where she collaborated with community organizations, including the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council, Enlace Chicago and the Arab American Action Network, to assist underserved populations with immigration applications such as asylum and naturalization. In addition, she has also volunteered at the Legal Advice Centre in London in 2018 by providing support to clients with administrative matters related to welfare benefits appeals, including disability living allowance and employment and support allowance. 

Rabia speaks English and Turkish.
