Immigration Attorney Kimberley Schaefer
I help future Americans become citizens. One way that I do this by helping people navigate the process of obtaining green cards and becoming permanent residents.
I am an immigration lawyer practicing law in Washington DC at the Schaefer Law Firm. I also write an immigration law blog called the DC Immigration Lawyer Blog on issues of potential interest to my immigration clients.
My law firm, the Schaefer Law Firm, is located in Washington DC and I help people in Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland who need assistance with immigration issues. I can also assist people in other states who need assistance with the green card process. My office is located less than two blocks from the Farragut North Metro station and the Farragut West Metro station, providing my clients with easy access to my office via the Orange, Blue and Red Lines. There is convenient parking in the area and several major bus lines stop within one block of my office.
I have completed intensive consular officer training offered by the Department of State at the National Foreign Affairs Training Center in Arlington, Virginia and have provided consular services in Lagos, Nigeria. I have an international background and have lived or worked in the United States, Europe, Asia and Africa.
I am a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), a national association of over 11,000 attorneys and law professors who practice and teach immigration law.
Prior to law school I served as a communications officer in the United States Marine Corps and worked in both the private and public sectors. I previously worked as an associate attorney at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP in Washington, DC.
I am a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center. I graduated magna cum laude and was granted Order of the Coif recognition for graduating in the top 10% of my class. During law school I was a member of the American Criminal Law Review and served as the Notes Development Editor.
I am licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia. My practice outside the District of Columbia is limited to immigration and nationality law.
