Message

In my independent consulting work, I manage approximately 120 immigration matters per month and prepare EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1, and other employment-based cases for attorney evaluation.

I draft petition support letters, case summaries, and cover letters, and organize evidence so attorneys can review how it supports each client’s case. I also prepare RFE and NOID responses with attorneys and develop templates and checklists for consistent drafting and review.

At MOUNT SINAI HOSPITAL / ICAHN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, I managed employment-based immigration matters for physicians, scientists, researchers, faculty, and scholars. I coordinated cases including H-1B, PERM, I-140, adjustment of status, employment authorization, and advance parole.

Earlier, at FRAGOMEN, DEL REY, BERNSEN & LOEWY, LLP, I managed high-volume corporate and multinational immigration portfolios. My experience also includes preparing employment- and family-based filings at WILDES & WEINBERG, P.C. and supporting business immigration matters at LEVITT & NEEDLEMAN, P.C.
