Why Do I Practice US Immigration Law?
I am a strong advocate for "diversity" in the workplace. Diversity increases creativity, and adds a richness of ideas, decision making techniques and brainpower for businesses and organizations in every sector. By helping businesses obtain visas and green cards for foreign national talent, I am able to contribute to the diversification of the American workforce, which in turn makes this country a better place to live.
