Leen Heresh
Immigration Attorney · Litigator · Appellate Counsel
Bar Admissions
A first-generation immigrant with a practice dedicated to people pursuing the American dream. I bring courtroom and appellate experience to immigration work. An immigration petition isn't a form — it's an argument in the form of a life story. Your story. I build it the way a litigator builds a case: evidence organized around the legal standard, objections answered before they're raised, a record made to hold up under scrutiny.
I help business owners expanding into the United States, families, and individuals seeking U.S. citizenship. My practice focuses on extraordinary-ability and talent immigration (O-1, EB-1A), family-based petitions, Special Immigrant Juvenile petitions, and naturalization.
I serve clients in Arabic and English, so the people I represent are fully understood — their goals, their credentials, and their stories. Licensed in Tennessee and Kentucky, I practice online and serve clients across the United States and internationally.

What We Handle
When USCIS issues a Request for Evidence or a denial, I respond with the same discipline brought to the original filing — because I already know the record.
Extraordinary Ability — O-1
I have experience with an O-1 extraordinary-ability petition. The O-1 standard is demanding and USCIS scrutinizes it carefully. I approach it as an argument: evidence selected, organized, and presented to meet a specific legal threshold.
Family-Based & Spousal Petitions
I-130 filings, adjustment of status, and spousal petitions for U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. Family cases carry high emotional stakes — they deserve the same care as any legal filing.
Special Immigrant Juvenile Petitions
SIJ petitions for vulnerable minors who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned. These cases require careful, compassionate attention to both the legal record and the child's wellbeing.
Naturalization
N-400 preparation, interview coaching, and guidance through the oath ceremony. I approach naturalization with the same thoroughness as any other filing — every question answered precisely, every document reviewed for consistency.
