About Manvel Mikhaylovich
Manvel Mikhaylovich Vasilyev built his legal foundation at Duke University School of Law. He arrived in practice equipped with a rigorous legal education and a grounding in both doctrine and practical skills that often shape courtroom and administrative work. His training at Duke remains a touchstone in how he approaches complex legal questions.
Vasilyev’s career has centered on immigration matters. He joined InterlinkLaw LLP and rose through the ranks to become managing partner. In that role he handles both the business side of running a small firm and the substantive work of counseling clients. He supervises case strategy, coordinates with staff and outside experts, and maintains client relationships. He also handles direct client representation.
His membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association reflects the professional circles he moves in and the issues he works on. AILA membership keeps him connected to changes in federal immigration policy and administrative practice. He draws on those resources when advising individuals, families and employers on the immigration options available to them.
Colleagues describe Vasilyev as methodical in his case preparation. He tends to break complex matters into discrete steps. That approach shows up in file management and in hearings or filings where precise documentation matters. He is comfortable managing cases that require coordination across jurisdictions, including work that involves foreign-born clients and cross-border elements.
As managing partner, Vasilyev balances caseloads with administrative responsibilities. He oversees intake, staffing and client communications, and he implements office procedures meant to keep matters moving. He has responsibility for mentoring junior attorneys and ensuring the firm’s work meets procedural and ethical standards.
Outside the office, his professional activity is concentrated in immigration law circles. He follows developments at the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice, and he monitors federal and state-level changes that affect noncitizens. This professional attention informs how he evaluates risk and timing for clients facing deadlines or eligibility issues.
In practice, Manvel Mikhaylovich Vasilyev represents a range of immigration clients and leads InterlinkLaw LLP in its casework and operations. He is licensed to practice in New York and maintains membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association. His current practice focuses on immigration law, advising individuals, families and employers on immigration pathways and compliance.
