Masuda Funai attorneys Fazila Vaid, Julie Emerick and Anne Miller are contributing authors to the 2026 Immigration Law Handbook published by the Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education (IICLE).
Vaid and Miller co-authored the chapter titled “Employment-Based Permanent Resident Petitions,” which examines the legal framework and procedural requirements for obtaining permanent resident status through employer sponsorship.
The handbook also includes a chapter titled “Family-Sponsored Immigration: Immediate Relatives and Family-Based Preferences,” authored by Vaid, providing an overview of immigration pathways available to individuals seeking permanent residence through qualifying family relationships.
Emerick authored the chapter “The B Visa Category (Business Visitors and Tourists),” which outlines eligibility requirements, permitted activities and application procedures for temporary visitors entering the United States for business or tourism.
The handbook serves as a valuable resource for attorneys and legal professionals seeking guidance on navigating complex immigration matters.
