J-1Visa

Case Summary.

Rami Lee helped a Canadian biomedical researcher clear the way to permanent residence by securing a waiver of her J-1 two-year home residency requirement. The waiver was especially challenging because her position at a leading research institution had been partly funded by her home government under a signed agreement. Her strong profile - a PhD, health-focused research, numerous publications, and multiple awards - anchored the concurrent Green Card strategy.
