About Amien

He now dedicates a larger portion of his practice to international workers, including professionals seeking H-1B status as well as researchers seeking national interest waivers.

-Requests for evidence
-Notices of intent to deny
-Motions to reopen or to reconsider
-AAO and BIA appeals

-Waivers of joint/timely petitions to remove conditions on residence
