Kya’s first introduction to law was working at a personal injury law firm in Atlanta, Georgia. It was there that Kya found her passion for helping others. However, it was love that led Kya to immigration law; going through the immigration process with her husband showed her that she was not limited in the ways that she could help others in the legal field. Kya now focuses her work on employment-based immigration and nonimmigration petitions, as well as family-based immigration petitions.
