Genius Immigration Attorney
The other day, there was a reference to Margaret Stock as an attorney in Alaska.
Just this morning, the 2013 MacArthur Genius grants were announced:
Margaret Stock
BTW, one the three programs she is given credit for arose from an idle conversation we had some years back and I referred to US Army practice back in 1970 -- for which there was no institutional memory.

Re: Genius Immigration Attorney
I thought the use of the description Genius had become a term of amusement.
Perhaps the MacArthur Foundation could come up with a better title.

Re: Genius Immigration Attorney
MAVNI is a great program. It allows medical doctors and difficult-to-find language translators to gostraight from non immigrant status to citizenship, bypassing the green card process. This is especially great for those ona J-1 visa (who can thsu avoid the 3 year waiver)
MAVNI is back since October 2012. However the Army has an incredibly slow bureaucracy. Any physician thinking of using MAVNI instead of a J-1 waiver should apply with 2 years of anticipation, or find a way to extend their J-1 after concluding residency.

Re: Genius Immigration Attorney
Whenever I hear the term genius used especially in immigration terms, I think of Sen. Ted Cruz.
Here is a guy who was born in Calgary, his dad was a Cuban who was an immigrant, and he graduated from Princeton and then did a JD at Harvard Law School where he graduated magna cum laude. And he is often referred to as being a "genius".
And then the Dallas Morning News did an article on him saying he is a Canadian citizen and he said that came as news to him.
Right... he was born in Canada and graduated at the top of his class from Harvard Law School and didn't know that he's a Canadian citizen.
So either he's not quite as big of a genius as people think he is, or he's full of s--t.

"“When I was a kid, my Mom told me that I could choose to claim Canadian citizenship if I wanted."
