MyungJin (MJ) Lee, EB-1A, NIW Immigration Attorney in Boston
FOUNDER/Attorney at Law
MyungJin (MJ) Lee is a Boston-based immigration attorney and the founder of the Law Office of MJ Lee, a boutique immigration law firm. Her practice focuses on EB-1A extraordinary ability and EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) green card petitions for researchers, scientists, engineers, physicians, and founders. She also represents Korean companies and investors in L-1 and E-2 visa matters and assists families with marriage-based and family-based immigration. She works in both English and Korean.
A Personal Perspective on Immigration
Attorney Lee navigated the U.S. immigration system herself as a Korean national. She understands firsthand its complexity, its uncertainty, and its impact on a person’s career and family. That experience shapes how she practices: with empathy for the person behind each file, and with precision about what the reviewing officer needs to see.
EB-1A and EB-2 NIW Green Card Petitions
EB-1A and EB-2 NIW are self-petition green card categories that require no employer sponsor and no PERM labor certification. Attorney Lee builds each NIW petition around a clearly defined proposed endeavor and the three-prong framework of Matter of Dhanasar. She structures each EB-1A petition around the regulatory criteria and the final merits determination. Her approach is to answer an officer’s likely questions before they appear in a Request for Evidence (RFE), and, when an RFE does arrive, to respond precisely to the issue the officer has raised.
L-1 and E-2 Visas for Korean Companies and Investors
The United States is one of Korea’s most important trading partners. Attorney Lee represents Korean multinational corporations, startups, and investors as they establish and expand U.S. operations through L-1 intracompany transferee visas and E-2 treaty investor visas.
Family-Based Immigration
Attorney Lee also handles I-130 family petitions and I-485 adjustment of status applications, including marriage-based cases and consular processing, where timing and careful documentation are essential.
A Boutique Firm with Direct Attorney Access
Every case at the Law Office of MJ Lee is handled personally by Attorney Lee, from the first consultation through the final decision, with support from a dedicated paralegal team. She is an active member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and serves on the Executive Committee of AILA’s New England Chapter.
Outside of work, she enjoys cooking with her family and taking walks with her puppy, Jelly.
