Finding Your Silver Lining in the Business Immigration Process: An Insightful Guide to Immigrant & Non-Immigrant Business Visas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692894132)

Lauren A. Cohen, Esq., a graduate of Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, Ontario, is a lawyer licensed in the U.S. and Canada. She is an active American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) member and many other professional groups. She has firsthand knowledge of the visa process, having become an American citizen in 2012 following her immigration journey to the U.S. from Canada. After several years working as corporate counsel while tapping into the field of immigration law, Lauren combined her legal knowledge and business acumen to create e-Council Inc., a virtual company offering concierge turnkey business immigration services ranging from professional business plans to comprehensive project quarterbacking for all types of business visas. In response to increasing requests to fix early-stage projects either prior to or after filing, Lauren recently established The EB-5 Clean-Up Crew(TM) to assist business owners that have met roadblocks in putting together their EB-5 packages. She also developed an EB-5 Certification and Monitoring Program reflecting a recognition of a need for improved audit and reporting procedures on the part of issuers to investors. The goal in all of Lauren's business endeavors is to help clients achieve their version of the American Dream. Lauren is an inspired speaker, bringing passion and insight to the topics on which she speaks, ranging from business immigration to finding balance as a single mom entrepreneur. Lauren connects with her audience thoroughly through relatable experiences and engaging questions-and-answer sessions. She combines business savvy, experience, and legal skills to educate and inform, while focusing on the human element of finding the balance in life, eliminating many misconceptions around these topics. Lauren is also community-oriented and a philanthropist. She recently founded Find My Silver Lining, a nonprofit whose goal is to inspire single working parents, to persevere through challenging times as they strive to lead fulfilling lives. Find My Silver Lining will fund Zevi's Silver Lining, a program established in affiliation with a local nonprofit that is designed to match children with willing grandparents in the community. Lauren's goal is to expand the reach of Zevi's Silver Linings to other communities throughout North America.
