About Ionut
Ionut Simon is an attorney at US Immigration Team, PLLC. He advises individuals, families and employers on a range of immigration matters. Colleagues describe him as methodical. Clients find his explanations plain and direct.
Simon joined the immigration bar after training in law. He settled into practice that centers on federal immigration processes, paperwork and court appearances. His work requires frequent interaction with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and immigration courts. It also calls for careful preparation of evidence and written submissions.
At US Immigration Team, PLLC he handles family-based petitions, employment visas, naturalization applications, and humanitarian relief claims. He represents clients in removal proceedings and prepares requests for temporary and permanent status when circumstances allow. His caseload spans affirmative filings and defensive strategies. The daily work moves between client interviews, drafting petitions and appearing in hearings.
Simon spends a large portion of his time on complex file management. Many immigration matters involve multiple deadlines, overlapping statutes and cross-border documentation. He organizes case timelines and coordinates supporting documents from third parties. He also communicates regularly with clients about changing eligibility rules and procedural updates.
Those who work with Simon say he favors clarity over legalese. He breaks down eligibility criteria into discrete steps. He outlines possible outcomes and next steps in plain terms. He prepares written summaries so clients can review options after meetings. The approach helps nonnative English speakers follow progress and prepare required materials.
He also engages in the practical tasks that often decide cases: assembling country reports, arranging expert statements, and compiling travel and identity records. When filings require documentary proof, Simon works to make the record coherent and complete. He monitors filing deadlines and service requirements to reduce procedural risk.
Outside courtrooms, Simon coordinates with employers, nonprofits and family members who supply necessary evidence. That coordination often determines whether a petition is successful or delayed. He manages email and phone communications to keep everyone informed through each stage of a case.
As of 2026 he continues to practice at US Immigration Team, PLLC. His current practice focuses on family petitions, naturalization, employment-based immigration, and defense in removal proceedings.
