Meet the Visionary Behind Blackstone Associates
Ujala Akram
Ujala Akram, PhD Law (Cand.)
U.S. Business- & Education-Immigration Strategist
For more than a decade, I've helped founders, executives, investors, and students—immigrate to the United States with confidence. As Partner and head of U.S. immigration at Blackstone Associates, I craft end-to-end strategies for:
Business & Investor Visas
E-2 investors launching new ventures, L-1 Intracompany executives expanding global brands, and EB-2 NIW / EB-1A innovators whose work moves entire industries forward.
Corporate Mobility
TN approvals for Canadian consultants, H-1B specialty-occupation wins, airtight RFE defenses, and consular coaching that turns complex hurdles into rapid approvals.
Education Immigration
Comprehensive U.S. admissions advising, I-20 & SEVIS compliance, F-1/M-1 visa paperwork, and interview prep that secures study permits for undergrads, grad students, and exchange scholars.
Specialty-Occupation & Status Management
Secure H-1B approvals for high-skill roles and handle every Change-of-Status filing (B-1/B-2 → F-1, F-1 → H-1B, etc.), ensuring seamless continuity of lawful presence.
Green-Card Mastery
Guide clients through the entire permanent-residency pipeline, from PERM & I-140 petitions to I-485 adjustment and DS-260 consular processing, and have even revived "impossible" SB-1 Returning Resident cases.
Seasonal Workforce Solutions (H-2B)
Obtain temporary labor certifications, run prevailing-wage and recruitment campaigns, file airtight H-2B petitions, and guide both U.S. employers and seasonal workers through every compliance checkpoint.
Why clients trust me
Dual-Lens Insight
I'm not only an immigration attorney—I'm an award-winning legal educator. As Founder & President of Blackstone School of Law (University of London Recognized Teaching Centre) and former Assistant Dean at Santa Clara University, I understand U.S. campus culture, admissions metrics, and the regulatory fine print that schools and students face.
Research-Driven Advocacy
Each petition is built on deep statutory analysis, cutting-edge case law, and a clear narrative tying your goals to U.S. economic or academic interests.
End-to-End Partnership
From corporate structuring and business plans to scholarship strategy and visa interviews, I stay with you until the stamp is in your passport—and beyond.
Educated in the U.S. (LL.M., Indiana University McKinney School of Law), having worked in the US for 10 years, licensed before the High Courts of Pakistan, and fluent in English, Urdu, and Punjabi, I bridge jurisdictions and cultures with ease.
