A well-developed and regulated legal field is critical for creating a safe, prosperous society. Without competent representatives, stories of exploitation and discrimination go unnoticed, and the cycle of abuse continues. Naim Haroon Sakhia Esq., a Pakistani-origin US lawyer focusing on US immigration law, is passionately fighting for the voiceless. The complexity of the legal system makes it difficult for victims to confidently pursue justice. Around every corner is another obstacle preventing them from reaching their goals. As someone who has been through the American immigration system, Mr. Sakhia hopes to be a beacon of hope for those with dreams of relocating to the land of opportunity.
The United States is home to the world’s largest share of immigrants. In 2023, the country issued 10.4 million temporary visas, and in 2022, almost one million immigrants became US citizens. The majority of immigrants are direct relatives of existing US citizens, but millions of others come to the country through other means. Well-known globally for its high standard of living and robust legal protections, the United States has remained a popular immigration destination for people globally. However, the country has stringent rules for those who deserve a spot in the land of the free. Mr. Sakhia, a seasoned attorney with extensive litigation experience in civil and Federal matters, empowers individuals to immigrate to the US legally.
Through his private practice, Sakhia Law Group, Mr. Sakhia offers white-glove support not commonly found at other firms. His dedication to understanding every client’s goals and personal circumstances translates into high-quality legal services. Mr. Sakhia’s passion for law came unexpectedly, but his entrance into the field was nothing short of a revelation. After immigrating to the US as a student, Mr. Sakhia was enchanted by the allure of law, particularly immigration matters. He was deeply moved by the stories of other immigrants as he had faced similar struggles. Immigrating from Pakistan was complicated and burdensome. Mr. Sakhia notes that the US immigration system can be unforgiving to procedural mistakes, which is a large reason why he wants to be a support system for incoming immigrants. “Too many immigrants receive inaccurate legal advisory services when seeking to immigrate to the US,” says Mr. Sakhia. “They become overwhelmed by the burden of escaping a certain situation back home or simply making this new chapter of their life work. I try to simplify this lengthy and complicated process as much as possible so my clients can focus on the positives of their short-term stay or long-term relocation.”
Mr. Sakhia has chronicled his interest and advocacy for human rights through his debut English novel, released in 2022, In Women We Trust. The book showcases the harsh truth of legal corruption and its implications on women globally. Through this medium and other arrays of media, Mr. Sakhia hopes to inspire change. His work on immigration highlights the importance of treating all humans with dignity, while his creative work seeks to expose the transgressions society buries.
Mr. Sakhia also played a prominent role as a co-producer in a film released worldwide and on a prominent OTT platform in 2017 titled Chain Aye Na, directed by the most prolific movie director from Pakistan, Syed Noor. The movie focuses on the social ailments and injustices seen through the lens of a young, loving couple with a message towards eliminating social and legal injustice.
Currently under development but slated for release next year, Mr. Sakhia is creating a cutting-edge mobile app for short-term and long-term talent matching. The platform will be designed to facilitate global collaboration by matching skills with the skill seekers, for short-term and long-term projects. Diverse applicants will have access to competitive temporary work and companies can benefit from their unique skill sets globally.
Whether through his legal firm, novel, movie, or upcoming app launch, Mr. Sakhia’s dedication to social impact is palpable. As he continues evolving his legal expertise, clients can rest assured that Mr. Sakhia will always have their best interests in mind.
