Asylum Attorneys With Former USCIS Experience

Led by former USCIS Asylum Officers with over 20 years of combined experience reviewing and deciding asylum cases.

Why Former USCIS Experience Makes a Difference

Asylum cases are not just about telling your story. They are about how your story is evaluated under U.S. immigration law. Before becoming immigration attorneys, Ekaterina and Elena spent more than a decade each as USCIS Asylum Officers. They reviewed applications, conducted interviews, analyzed country conditions, assessed credibility, and made decisions on asylum claims every day. That experience matters because it shapes how cases are prepared.
