During the Trump administration, Joey led the team in handling Requests for Evidence (RFEs) issued by the US Citizenship and Immigration Service challenging legal matters regarding her clients’ H-1B visas. Joey developed response strategies for issues including specialty occupations, right-to-control, beneficiary qualifications, maintenance of status, availability of work, itinerary of engagements, and wage designation.
She draws upon a deep background of experience in immigration matters. Joey interned at the US Department of Homeland Security Office of the Chief Counsel, where she litigated and cross-examined respondents in removal proceedings on behalf of ICE in both Washington, DC, and Atlanta. Prior to law school, Joey served as a legal assistant for a local immigration firm, handling employment-based and family-based visas.
