I'm the proud daughter of an “alien of extraordinary ability,” a visa classification which recognized my dad Dr. Ameed Raoof’s distinguished career in medical education. My family background is part of the reason I chose to devote my career to helping talented foreign nationals pursue the American dream through employment-based visas.
As a business immigration attorney, I help companies and foreign-born nationals navigate the increasingly complex field of immigration law. Having focused on business immigration since 2006, my clients have included engineering companies, architecture firms, startups, overseas companies and nonprofits and their driven foreign national employees.
My immigration career started with my internship at the National Immigration Project in Boston during my first year of law school. I also focused on immigrants’ civil rights during my internship at the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan.
My family is from Iraq, where the first laws in human civilization were written. Before moving to the US I grew up in Scotland and Saudi Arabia. When I'm not working you'll find me kayaking, embroidering or traveling internationally.
As a member of the State Bar of Michigan, I am authorized by US Citizenship and Immigration Services to represent companies and individuals nationwide in immigration matters.
