A New York practice built on focus, judgment, and personal attention.
Vanessa V. Seckin advises corporations, hospitals, small businesses, and individuals across the full range of immigration law. After law school she served as in-house and outside immigration counsel for a pharmaceutical and technology company in New York, then practiced with a New York immigration firm, counseling physicians and scientists on employment-based matters.
Today her work centers on specialty occupation workers, intracompany transferees, investors, entertainers, athletes, and individuals of extraordinary ability, along with J-1 waivers, PERM applications, national interest waivers, and appeals before BALCA and the AAO. Every case receives comprehensive, carefully crafted analysis, handled in an ethical, courteous, and efficient manner.
