Having personally navigated the U.S. immigration system from an F-1 student visa to H-1B, EB PERM, and ultimately Naturalization, I bring a deeply empathetic, firsthand perspective to every case I undertake. Originally from South Korea, my own journey through the complexities of U.S. immigration has shaped my 11-year legal practice. I understand not only the legal nuances but also the personal, high-stakes investment behind every petition, ensuring that clients receive both top-tier representation and true peace of mind. Holding a Ph.D. in Law and a robust research background, I specialize in high-stakes extraordinary ability and merit-based petitions, including EB-1A, EB-1B, EB-2 NIW, and O-1 visas. I approach each case much like conducting academic research, digging deep into each client’s unique achievements, mastering their industry context, and crafting custom narratives built to withstand USCIS scrutiny. This scholarly rigor also powers my approach to Requests for Evidence (RFEs), where I deliver creative, analytical, and highly persuasive solutions to overcome complex legal hurdles. In addition to extraordinary ability cases, I actively develop specialized E-2 and L-1 visa strategies tailored for Korean startup founders expanding into the U.S. market, helping global entrepreneurs establish a firm foothold in the country. Because I have personally walked in my clients’ shoes, I also maintain vibrant practice in core employment-based filings such as H-1B and PERM. Whether guiding a tech founder, an accomplished scholar, or a family building their future, I am dedicated to delivering strategic, win-rate-driven outcomes.
