Biography

As owner of her own boutique immigration firm, Ms. Lee has experience with family- and employment-based immigration. She is a graduate of Princeton, Cornell, and Howard Universities. Her interest in immigration was sparked through international study at a Japanese University in Tokyo; an international ex-pat assignment in Paris, France; and marriage to an immigrant to the U.S. Ms. Lee served for five years as Corporate Counsel with The Procter & Gamble Company holding responsibilities in labor and employment law, trademarks and copyrights, intellectual property licensing, and advertising law. She served as a law clerk to the Honorable Nathaniel R. Jones (now retired) of the U.S. Court of Appeals, 6th Circuit and has taught Business Associations as an adjunct professor with Phoenix School of Law. Prior to opening her immigration firm, Ms. Lee served as an immigration attorney with Littler Mendelson, P.C. and with Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP, where she helped facilitate the legal movement of foreign national employees of multinational companies into the U.S. for business travel; confirmed U.S. visa eligibility, and prepared petitions for temporary business visits, work, and training. She coached client employees in preparation for Consulate interviews and/or in response to security checks; collaborated with a corporate client to develop its internal immigration processes and recommended solutions to immigration issues at the employee, Consulate, and country levels. She researched and drafted briefs in response to U.S. government requests for additional evidence of visa petitions and created and delivered immigration training for client managers and employees.
