About

Immigration Paralegal at Musa-Obregon Law P.C. in Queens, NY, supporting the firm's immigration attorneys on humanitarian and removal defense matters. My deepest specialization is U visa work, from obtaining law enforcement certifications through complete filed packages. I also prepare VAWA self-petitions, asylum applications, T visa petitions, bond packages, motions to reopen, and federal habeas and TRO filings, and I handle ECAS/EOIR and USCIS lockbox submissions.

I typically carry 20 or more active matters at a time. I train colleagues on ECAS filing and packet assembly and serve as the office's go-to for rejected filings and Spanish-language client work. Native Spanish speaker with several hundred certified document translations and regular interpretation for client meetings and calls.
