Babak Akhlaghi has waited well over a decade to finally see his brother, Kaveh, arrive in the United States. The wait has been excruciating, unnecessary and a prime example of how the U.S. immigration system fails the best and brightest. Kaveh Akhlaghi is a renowned architect based in Iran who has seen his ability to get a work visa inexplicably delayed year-after-year and resulted in repeated federal litigation. Babak, who works in Washington DC as a patent attorney, has not lost hope that Kaveh will someday receive his O-1 extraordinary ability visa.
Assisting Kaveh throughout this frustrating process is Amy Maldonado, a nationally recognized immigration attorney. Along with providing details about Kaveh's case, Amy speaks to me about her own career and how she inadvertently became one of the top sports immigration attorneys in our field representing numerous major league baseball franchises and their players. While Kaveh's case still remains incomplete, and the current administration makes the future even more murky, both Amy and Babak hold out hope that he will someday arrive on these shores.
