What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my immigration expertise while contributing to a supportive team environment.

I am a dedicated paralegal and immigration process specialist with over 10 years of experience in handling complex immigration cases. My expertise includes family petitions, administrative waivers, and visa package preparation, particularly in EB-2 NIW, L1A, E2, and E1 visas. I have a deep understanding of the U.S. immigration system and consular processes, which allows me to provide tailored legal guidance to clients.

Before my current role as Director and Case Preparer at INVISA, I served for 23 years as a detective and migration officer in the Colombian government. This experience has equipped me with the skills to manage immigration control and enforcement effectively. I am also certified as a paralegal in the U.S. and am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology, which enhances my ability to understand and support clients through their immigration journeys.
