Allison D. Gray

Among her most notable work, she has represented a university in an investigation of its H-1B Labor Condition Applications conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), won an appeal filed with the Administrative Appeals Office that reversed the denial of an extraordinary ability immigrant petition, and filed hundreds of successful O-1 petitions and immigrant petitions for prominent artists and multinational managers. In addition, Allison has represented pro bono clients, including obtaining asylum for nationals of Chad and Belarus, and obtaining Special Immigrant Juvenile Status for a brother and sister from Honduras.

Chambers USA recognizes Allison as a leading lawyer in immigration law, quoting clients who describe her as “extremely knowledgeable, supportive and informative,” and “smart, savvy and responsive, providing strong counsel." One client praised Allison as “an excellent communicator” and added, “I have learned a tremendous amount from her.” Another stated: “Allison is my hero. A brilliant immigration attorney, who is empathetic, aware of current policy and an overall excellent advisor. She has gone the extra mile for us more than once and I maintain she is sometimes the brightest part of my day.”
