Jack Jrada, Esq.

Jack helps entrepreneurs, experts, professionals and their employers and families navigate U.S. immigration applications and compliance — from initial entry visa to dependent and family applications, permanent residence, and citizenship. His practice focuses on business immigration for treaty investors and startup founders (E-1, E-2), intracompany transfers for companies expanding to the U.S. (L-1A/B), work visas for skilled professionals (H-1B, TN, E-3, O-1), and employment-based green cards (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3). He also handles family-based immigration cases, including marriage-based petitions processed in or out of the U.S., as well as cases requiring experienced counsel to resolve RFEs, appeals, or complex procedural issues.

Before launching Jrada Immigration, Jack spent nearly a decade at two of the country's largest immigration practices — Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy (2016–2024) and Greenberg Traurig (2024–2025) — where he managed compliance programs for Fortune 500 clients, shepherding hundreds of foreign nationals — from individual executives to entire engineering divisions — through the immigration process. Over those years he filed well over 1,000 H-1B petitions, built and ran high-volume PERM labor certification programs, advised startups on investment-based visa strategies, and successfully responded to waves of government scrutiny on employment-based petitions.

Jack is an active member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), where he serves as Co-Chair of the New York Chapter's Consular Practice Committee and sits on AILA's national Technology & Innovation and Lawyer Well-Being Committees. In 2026, he spoke at the AILA Annual Conference in San Diego, California on ethics and attorney wellness amid shifting federal immigration policy.

Jack holds a B.A. in Politics from New York University (2011) and a J.D. from Boston University (2014). He is admitted to practice in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, representing clients based across the U.S. and around the world.

A lifelong Brooklynite, Jack also speaks Arabic and Hebrew. Outside of work, he's usually cooking, swimming, hiking with his dogs, or marveling at a map.
