Why Crossing Frontiers
01
Work with an attorney, not a funnel
At many firms, the lawyer you meet on the call isn't the one who handles your file. Here, an attorney assesses your case, builds the strategy, and stays accountable through filing. One informed point of contact, start to finish.
02
One practice, both sides of the border
Licensed in Michigan and Alberta, we look at your whole situation — not just the half a single-country firm can see. Immigration law is federal, so those licenses let us serve clients across the entire United States and all of Canada, not just those two jurisdictions. Sometimes the answer is a U.S. visa; sometimes it's a move north, a Canadian PR route, or a citizenship claim you didn't know you had. We'll tell you which, and handle it.
03
A strategy, not a single bet
Immigration plans fail when they hinge on one outcome. We build around alternatives — H-1B backups, concurrent filings, parallel green-card tracks, Canada as a bridge — so a “no” in one place doesn't end the journey.
Meet the attorney behind your case
Crossing Frontiers was founded by Alyssa Hussein, a cross-border immigration attorney licensed in Michigan and Alberta. The practice is built so clients work directly with an attorney on their case — from first call to final filing.
With a background spanning multinational technology and manufacturing companies, early-stage startups, and international work across the Middle East and Asia, the practice understands the situations clients are really in — the founder racing a funding round, the family tracing a citizenship claim across generations, the company that just won a contract and needs someone on the ground next quarter.
