Every 2nd Thursday I offer FREE telephone consultations to answer questions about immigration. You can register in advance at the link above & I look forward to talking to you.

I have appeared on CNN and Bloomberg News television and on many radio programs discussing immigration law and given seminars and talks to many business organizations on immigration topics.
