    Introduction

    Brianna Thompson is an associate in Nixon Peabody’s Global Immigration group. Brianna helps businesses navigate through various employment-based immigration needs.

    Practice Areas

    Immigration

    /My focus

    I help employers hire and retain the talent they need to keep their businesses moving forward, from securing their employees non-immigrant visas to helping their employees adjust their status to become permanent residents. In addition to businesses, I also advise individuals in various immigration matters such as those seeking to naturalize, individuals looking to become U.S. investors, and individuals who possess extraordinary ability in their respective fields.

    /Looking ahead

    Due to the changing economy and general circumstances around everyday life, I see the increased modernization of various immigration-facing government entities as they work to combat the new challenges that society faces today. There will be an increased focus on combining efficiency with technology.

    /Admitted to practice

    District of Columbia

    /Education

    Howard University School of Law, J.D.
    College of William and Mary, B.A.

    /Professional activities

    Brianna was Howard Human and Civil Rights Law Review’s vol. 3 executive solicitations and submissions editor. In this capacity, she chaired the Third Annual C. Clyde Ferguson Jr. Symposium “Triggered: The Power of Law, Guns, and Politics,” featuring Congresswoman Robin Kelly as the keynote speaker.
