Jason Levy brings nearly three decades of experience advising clients in employment-based, family-based, and citizenship matters and providing counsel on high-impact policy development, litigation, and administrative law matters as an immigration lawyer with the private bar and the United States government. Before joining the firm, Jason served as Senior Counsel with the Office of the General Counsel, Immigration Law Division at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for more than 15 years. In that role, he advised policy, operational, and legal leadership within the department and across the interagency on a wide array of immigration-related rulemakings and policies instituted by DHS and its component agencies (USCIS, CBP, and ICE), with a primary focus on employment-based immigration policies. He also routinely provided subject matter expertise to U.S. Department of Justice counsel in significant litigation matters in federal court, including the Supreme Court.
Prior to his federal service, Jason was a member of the private bar with Ross, Silverman & Levy LLP, an immigration law firm in Boston, Massachusetts. Over a period of 13 years, seven as a partner, Jason offered strategic counsel to large multinational and domestic corporations, small and mid-sized businesses, major academic and medical institutions, and individuals on a broad range of immigration matters, including a variety of employment-based immigrant and nonimmigrant visa classifications, family-based visas classifications, the PERM labor certification process, consular processing, adjustment of status, and naturalization and citizenship.
Jason earned his J.D. from New York University School of Law. He earned his B.A., cum laude, as a graduate of the honors program at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
