She represents individuals, families, entrepreneurs, and corporations in high-stakes immigration matters where outcomes shape futures and protect legacies.
A graduate of the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law, Ms. Benjamin has built her career at the intersection of litigation strength and humanitarian commitment. Her practice spans removal defense, asylum, cancellation of removal, family-based immigration, employment-based immigration, waivers, and complex post-decision litigation.
Ms. Benjamin is a formidable advocate in removal proceedings, defending clients against deportation with meticulous preparation and decisive courtroom strategy. She handles appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals and aggressively pursues Motions to Reopen and Motions to Reconsider when cases demand a second, stronger fight. Her approach is analytical, strategic, and unrelenting—grounded in deep statutory knowledge and a command of procedural law.
In family-based immigration matters, Ms. Benjamin guides clients through adjustment of status, consular processing, and complex inadmissibility challenges. She prepares and litigates hardship waivers and other discretionary relief applications with precision, ensuring that families facing legal barriers present compelling, well-documented cases designed to withstand scrutiny.
Her employment-based immigration practice supports entrepreneurs, startups, and established companies seeking to secure global talent. She advises on H-1B, L-1, and E-2 visas, as well as I-140 petitions and PERM labor certifications, providing strategic counsel that aligns immigration planning with business growth.
Known for her sharp legal analysis, disciplined case preparation, and unwavering client advocacy, Ms. Benjamin leads Pathfinder Immigration Experts with clarity and conviction. She is driven by one principle: immigration law is not paperwork—it is power, protection, and possibility. Every case she takes on is approached with the expectation of excellence and the determination to win.
