Could immigration law be the career for you?

By Jenée Chizick Agüero

Oscar J. Barbosa, Esq. chose a career in immigration law because he’d personally experienced the process as a teen moving from Colombia to the US, spoke multiple languages, and knew he could make a difference. “Immigration is an uphill battle for many cases,” he told us. “They aren’t coming here to harm anyone, but the law is against them.” As an immigration attorney and as owner and founder of Diaspora Law US Immigration Firm, Barbosa and his growing team advocate for immigrants on their path to citizenship. Most of his work revolves around bringing family members from abroad and petitioning for them to become Green Card holders.
