Re: Immigration Attorney Position

Dear Sir and Madam:

As a solutions-focused Attorney with a background in business Immigration, Family, Real Estate, and Civil Litigation, I am exploring available positions within your organization. I am a highly experienced individual with documented contributions in providing superior results, and I am confident I will be a valuable asset to your team.

I have continuously demonstrated exceptional legal capabilities with a focus on representing clients, developing case management plans, and resolving matters within budgets, timelines, and delivery dates. Highlights of my qualifications include:

o Family Law: Handle broad range of different matrimonial matters in NY & NJ, from inception through settlement/trial, including drafting different divorce pleadings, motion practice, discovery, depositions, drafting property settlement agreements and prenuptial agreements. o Immigration Law: Represent foreign individual investors and their families, predominantly from China, in connection their EB-5 immigration, drafted EB-5 support letters, including preparation of the Lawful Source of Funds documentation, responded to numerous USCIS RFEs, received numerous conditional and permanent residency approvals for foreign investors, prepared and filed I-829, I-485, DS-260.

In addition, represent clients in connection with deportation and/or removal proceedings; asylum applications/hearings; appearances before the Immigration Court (mostly at 26 Federal Plaza); appeals before the BIA; diverse family and employment-based immigration matters. As far as my matrimonial practice is concerned, I have represented numerous clients in New York City metropolitan area and New Jersey, primarily Bergen and Hudson counties, in a wide variety of family and matrimonial law proceedings covering all legal aspects of marriage, from planning and negotiating prenuptial agreements, to separation agreements and divorce. In each case, my goal was to approach the client’s situation with compassion and sympathy and achieve the best and most expeditious result for the client through negotiations and out-of-court settlements. Finally, my experience in immigration and business law areas has helped me in my matrimonial law practice as very often family, immigration and business law do overlap.

I feel certain my strong initiative and commitment to excellence, coupled with my solid management background will be of immediate value to your organization. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response and hope to learn more about your organization’s plans and goals, and how I can contribute to its success.

Sincerely,

Natella Vinnikov, Esq.
