More About Jamie
Immigration is a complex set of regulations that varies greatly from the type of visa (B1/B2, J-1, H-1B, L-1, O, TN, etc.) to ever-evolving policy mandates. Clients seek to understand essential components of visas, and the rationale and strategies behind these options, but they do not need to get mired down by the nitty-gritty details of rules and regulations. For trusted guidance, clients turn to Jamie to gain clarity on the processes in order to make strategy decisions for their employees.
Jamie has nearly three decades of immigration and human resources experience at both large and boutique firms, including a decade of in-house corporate experience. She has considerable experience in the preparation and filing of both non-immigrant and immigrant visa petitions. Jamie has prepared B-1, J-1, H-1B, H-2B, L-1, O-1, P-1 and TN applications on behalf of a diverse group of clients including heath care, hospitality, technology, educational and nonprofit organizations. She has experience with the Department of Labor's labor certification process, the PERM online filing system. She has also prepared numerous employment and family-based immigrant visa petitions, adjustment of status applications, and Naturalization applications.
Jamie began her immigration career as an international recruiter for a corporation that owned and operated long-term care facilities throughout the US. She recruited nurses, physical, occupational, and speech therapists from the Philippines, UK, Ireland, Australia and Scandinavia. Jamie's experience over the years and from living abroad helps her understand the anxiety foreign nationals face in such a challenging and uncertain climate. She takes time to speak with clients to alleviate specific concerns, so they can get back to focusing on their work.
Jamie uses Seyfarth's innovative technology platform to deliver accurate and timely reports to her clients that are consistently high-quality and professional. Jamie prepares a variety of cases covering many product lines, but is often assigned more complex matters that are not available through the firm's existing platform. This requires creativity in preparing unique and complicated J-1 waivers for physicians on behalf of the medical institutions we represent and J-1 Intern/Trainee applications for financial and technology firms. Jamie is considered one of the firm's authorities on the J-1 visa category.
Jamie enjoys the vast amount of practical and legal experience available at Seyfarth. There is always a reliable answer to any immigration or employment question or concern, and a willingness by everyone at Seyfarth to pitch in and help.
