Partner Emma Tuohy was recently quoted in an article by The Philadelphia Inquirer about “navigating the green card maze,” describing the lengthy and complicated pathways to becoming a lawful permanent resident.

Emma is also quoted discussing the disadvantage for individuals who cannot afford the costly filing, legal, and medical fees, along with the years-long backlogs created by caps on the number of green cards or immigrant visas issued per year.
