I am an award-winning immigration attorney specializing in complex visa applications, self-petitioned green cards, and immigration appeals.

I have won numerous important cases before some of the most powerful courts in the world including the U.S. Supreme Court and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals (something very few attorneys can say).

Additionally, I have won dozens of favorable decisions before the Board of Immigration Appeals (including motions to reopen) as well as getting several USCIS decisions reversed by the Administrative Appeals Office.

I have expertise in all types of empoyment-based petitions, both non-immigrant and immigrant, particularly national interest waivers for high level professionals whose companies won't sponsor them for permanent residence (or have run out of time to do so). National interest waivers can be self-sponsored. For individuals with accomplishments that have positively affected their industry or the nation, this category may be a saving grace. I've gotten national interest waivers approved for a lot of people who didn't have any other option.

The same advocacy skills necessary to win a national interest waiver translate well to extraordinary ability green cards (EB-1A), Outstanding Researcher petitions, O-1 petitions for athletes and artists, and representation before the federal district courts (including mandamus if your USCIS application for anything has been unreasonably delayed).  I have also been successful with E-2 (investor) petitions, L visas, solving student visa problems, NAFTA visas (TN) and many more.
