About

My business immigration practice serves a diverse range of corporate and individual clients in the sciences, healthcare, finance, business, social service and religious organizations, architecture, arts & design. I have served on a wide variety of committees for the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), both locally in New York, the largest chapter, and for the national organization, including over a decade as moderator of the O & P visa message board on AILA InfoNet, a forum for immigration lawyers to share information on current legal issues & agency trends about visas for artists, performers, athletes, and other aliens of extraordinary ability. I have also moderated the AILA InfoNet forums on L and E visas. My longstanding pro bono service commitments include the Episcopal Diocese of New York and the CUNY Citizenship Now Volunteer Corps. If you are an employer, I can help you get the right type of work visa or permanent residence for the foreign workers your organization needs to hire and retain, and can help plan for immigration consequences to your workforce of mergers, acquisitions and other changes to corporate structure. If you are an individual, I can advise on which visa categories may be available to you, and can help obtain the right visa status for your needs, and help you plan long-term visa strategy to accommodate career & personal plans, which may involve visas, residence, & citizenship, for yourself and your family.

Karin is very knowledgeable and thorough about EB1A Petition. Karin is a great immigration lawyer. We took her help regarding the RFE response. She paid attention to every detail of our petition and the petition was successful. She was very professional, prompt, and responsive. I highly recommend Karin for Extraordinary Visa Petitions.

Gives precise and essential information. I was searching for answers for simple questions, she provided it, where as other lawyers were giving out open/half baked answers. Thank you

Our experience with Karin was excellent. She paid a lot of attention to every detail of our petition, replied very quickly to any question we had and was very pleasant to work with. She finished the petition quickly and explained the process to us in great detail. Even after filing our petition she kept us updated all the time. We highly recommend her services.

I am thankful to Karin for promptly responding, and elaborating enough the answer to a question about an O-1 visa clarification. I will definitely hire her if further assistance is needed.

My consultation with Karin was exemplary through all stages: from her prompt reply to my enquiry for an appointment, to her request for documents pertaining to my situation so that she could be totally prepared to provide the best advice during my consult, to her critical evaluation of my case, and her clear advice about go-forward strategies, with a follow-up email recapping major points. Karin is sharp, searingly honest, and all the while very human. Karin earns my highest recommendation.

I talked to her about my interest to start a company on my EAD; she gave very good answers. She seems to have really good knowledge of it.

We engaged Karin to help us with an L1B visa for an employee joining us from Oz. Karin was great in laying out exactly what we needed, highlighting the issues she knew from her experience would cause delays, and providing answers whenever we needed. I'd definitely recommend Karin for any small business looking to accomplish the same goal.

Ms. Wolman is the best immigration lawyer I know in NYC. My O-1 case is very complicated due to an inappropriate action that I and my sponsor took against USCIS. The visa got denied at the embassy in Japan but Ms. Wolman really dedicated herself and worked very hard to overturn the decision. The final judgement has not been made yet but either I get it or not I can definitely recommend one Ms. Wolman for someone who is looking for a really good immigration lawyer.
