I provide research-driven U.S. immigration strategy and compliant filings for international clients.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
As a U.S. Immigration Consultant Specialist, I managed high-volume employment-based immigration matters from intake through filing, coordinating document collection, evidence review, and submissions for E-2, L-1, H-1B, EB-1, and EB-2 NIW petitions, along with labor certification and sponsorship. I serve as a primary point of contact for international clients, attorneys, and stakeholders—providing timely updates while ensuring USCIS compliance across multiple jurisdictions. I also conduct immigration policy and eligibility research to support complex visa strategies aligned with evolving regulations and procedural standards.
Alongside my consulting work, I’m a Co-Founder & Lead Consultant focused on research-driven business plan development for U.S. employment-based and investment visa applications, translating legal and economic frameworks into persuasive plans for E-2, L-1, EB-2 NIW, and EB-5 petitions. Previously, I built my data and storytelling foundation as a data/legislative reporter, scraping and cleaning public records to produce investigative work and interactive mapping, and I led editorial execution through newsroom communications and data-driven visualizations.
