Rina’s interest in immigration law began with a service trip to Juarez, Mexico in 2008. She always had a passion for law, especially as a tool for social justice, and this trip provided a path. Since then, she has been immersed in the immigration field and is fortunate to have worked in both non-profit and law firm settings. She has been involved in lobbying efforts for the DREAM Act for over a decade, and continues to push for a clean Dream Act, comprehensive immigration reform, and ending family detention. Rina furthers these goals by being a co-chair of the AILA DC Advocacy Committee, the Federal Bar Association Immigration Law Section's Diversity Committee, and by giving lectures on immigration topics at universities and conferences. As a partner at Murray Osorio, Rina handles a wide variety of immigration cases from family-based cases including same-sex and transgender marriages, military Parole in Place, and Child Status Protection Act; affirmative asylum; and naturalization, including 319(b) expeditious naturalization. She specializes in waivers for unauthorized presence, crimes, and fraud or misrepresentation and is particularly fond of the I-601A Provisional Waiver. Prior to joining Murray Osorio, Rina worked at Haynes Novick Immigration on both affirmative and removal defense cases, specializing in criminal-immigration matters and waivers.
