Edward Ramos

Edward Ramos is a graduate of Yale Law School and a partner with KKTP. Edward's practice focuses on litigating immigration-related cases in the federal courts. He has helped clients overcome denials in a broad range of practice areas, including employment-based visa petitions (such as H-1B, and I-140 petitions), family-based visa petitions, terminations of regional centers in the EB-5 Program, and EB-5 visa petitions (I-526 and I-829). Several of Edward's cases have been national class actions. He has represented the American Immigration Lawyers Association and immigrants' rights organizations in several friend-of-the-court briefs in the Supreme Court of the United States.

Edward also assists clients with complex matters before administrative immigration agencies, including United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, the immigration courts, and the Board of Immigration Appeals.
