Melody Rae Poole

I remain fascinated by the varied ways my extended family came together in the United States, including family sponsorship, extraordinary ability, and entry without inspection. I enjoy helping others with their own journey to the US, be it temporary or permanent, whether joining family or pursuing opportunity. Current technology allows me to provide personalized, professional legal assistance whether you are around the corner or around the globe.
