Practice areas

Focused where the stakes are highest.

This practice is focused on one axis: the road between Turkey and the United States. Asylum and citizenship at its center, the green-card and investment paths that lead there, and Turkish law handled directly — because in immigration law, the details are the case.

U.S. immigration

Core practice

Asylum

Affirmative and defensive asylum, including political asylum. For people who cannot safely return home, the process is intimidating and the stakes are absolute. My job is to make the path understandable and your case as strong as the truth allows.

Citizenship & Naturalization

The N-400 looks like a form. It is actually a full review of your immigration life. I help clients apply with confidence — and, when there are complications, apply at the right time with the right preparation.

Business & Investment-Based Immigration
