Hila Kaplan was born and raised in Israel, where she proudly served as a class commander in the IDF. She earned both her LLB in Law and BA in Business Administration from IDC Herzliya and later completed her MBA at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

I represent clients in a wide range of U.S. immigration matters, including family-based petitions, employment and investor visas (such as E-1, E-2, L-1, and H-1B), green card applications, citizenship/naturalization, and waiver requests. I also assist with more complex cases, such as inadmissibility issues, status adjustments, and VAWAs.
Processing times vary depending on the type of application, the government agency handling the case, and your individual circumstances. Some cases can be resolved within a few months, while others may take over a year. I provide clients with a realistic timeline based on the most current information available from USCIS, the Department of State, and other agencies.
