Tina R. Goel

With the keen understanding that immigration law is as much a human concern as a business one—with real impacts for real people—Tina Goel brings a holistic approach to her practice, employing a “big picture” assessment of her clients’ particular situations and long-term goals when developing strategies to help them navigate the U.S. immigration system and achieve success.

Tina began her career working on removal defense, and now represents clients across the spectrum of complex family and employment-based petitions, as well as naturalization. Her 360-degree perspective on immigration allows her to address issues head-on, with a deft personal touch that honors the priorities of each client.

A hands-on immigration lawyer, Tina counsels clients across multiple industries, including healthcare, finance, real estate, technology, and higher education. She is particularly well-versed in working with employees and employers, including physicians, researchers, and professors, working directly with beneficiaries and applicants to tie together often complex considerations into a digestible narrative.

For a number of years, Tina has been part of a small team dedicated to serving the needs of healthcare and technology clients, focused on nonimmigrant and immigrant petitions, including O-1As, H-1Bs, L-1s, E-1/2s and petitions for those with extraordinary ability serving as outstanding researchers or professors and those eligible for a national interest waiver (NIW). She also regularly counsels clients on obtaining INA § 212(e) or J-1 waivers based on a variety of grounds, including the Conrad 30 program or a recommendation by another interested government agency, such as the Health and Human Services (HHS). She is fluent in spoken Hindi, and is a frequent contributor and speaker at immigration conferences across the United States.

Tina limits her legal practice to federal immigration law.
