Areas of Specialization:
– Immigration law

– VAWA cases
– Healthcare-related immigration (implied from the combination of credentials)
These credentials position her uniquely at the intersection of healthcare and legal practice, particularly for immigration cases involving medical considerations.
With Ms. Osho’s combined legal and nursing credentials, several specialized areas of immigration practice would be particularly well-suited for her expertise:
- Healthcare professional immigration – She could excel in helping foreign-trained nurses, doctors, and other healthcare workers navigate visa options like H-1B, TN (for Canadians/Mexicans), or employment-based green cards. Her nursing background gives her firsthand understanding of healthcare credentialing requirements and workplace dynamics.
- Medical hardship waivers – For cases where immigrants need to demonstrate extreme hardship for family members with medical conditions, her nursing background provides an advantage in evaluating and presenting medical evidence effectively.
- Humanitarian immigration involving medical issues:
– Asylum cases based on medical persecution or inadequate healthcare in home countries
– U visas for crime victims with medical/psychological trauma
– VAWA cases (where she already has experience) involving medical documentation of abuse
- Medical inadmissibility cases – When immigrants face potential denial due to health-related grounds, her nursing knowledge could help challenge findings or develop waiver applications.
- Long-term care visas – She could develop a niche practice helping families bring elderly relatives to the US for care, navigating both immigration requirements and long-term care planning.
- Immigration matters for healthcare facilities – Advising hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare providers on immigration compliance for their international workforce.
Her dual expertise would be particularly valuable in cases requiring a detailed understanding of both medical documentation and immigration law, allowing her to serve as a bridge between healthcare professionals, medical experts, and immigration authorities.
