I am an immigration attorney with a unique professional background as a former U.S. State Department consular officer. I adjudicated thousands of nonimmigrant and immigrant visas for posts in Africa, Europe, India, and Mexico. I have firsthand knowledge of how consular decisions are made at U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide. I have special expertise in fraud issues, through my work as a Fraud Prevention Manager at the State Department and in the Suspension and Debarment Unit at USCIS, where I focused on the interplay of immigration and contract fraud. My insider experience gives me a distinct advantage in preparing and presenting immigration cases and visa applications. I understand not only the legal requirements, but how applications are evaluated in practice.
*Please note that during these brief Lawfully consultations, I aim to offer advice on questions you have about your immigration or visa application, but I am not able to review your immigration history with the thoroughness of a full consultation.
