Aaron Blumberg, JD

Partner & Immigration Attorney
Fragomen

Aaron credits a diverse and demanding clientele for shaping his wide-ranging capabilities. It is a mix of proficiencies that allows him to design immigration policies, programs and strategies that are well-matched to any client’s needs.

The diversity of his practice is measured by the industries and sectors with which he is deeply familiar—a list that includes biotech, finance, healthcare, technology, higher education, logistics and more.

Academic immigration law is one of Aaron’s primary areas of focus. As a former Designated School Official (DSO) and Alternate Responsible Officer (ARO), Aaron possesses particular insight into issues faced by students on F-1 Student Visas, as well as scholars on Exchange Visitor J Visas. He advises DSOs and AROs on Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) compliance and best practices. He counts colleges, universities and research institutions, as well as students, researchers and academics, among his clientele.

Aaron is also a well-regarded healthcare immigration lawyer—helping organizations and individual professionals navigate one of the most technically-specialized practices in the field. He manages difficult, multi-tiered, highly personalized immigration processes for countless physicians and medical specialists and is sought after for his extensive J-1 waiver knowledge, including clinical waivers, research waivers, hardship and persecution waivers. He has designed large-scale programs for nurses, and individual cases for allied health professionals and healthcare executives.

Aaron is also a leader of Fragomen’s Humanitarian and Evolving Legal Pathways (HELP) practice, through which he serves clients dealing with emergent humanitarian crises that impact vulnerable workforces. Aaron also plays a pivotal role in Fragomen’s partnership with Talent Beyond Boundaries, a nonprofit organization that helps displaced people around the globe immigrate for work based on their skills, education and experience. He helps promote TBB’s vision and has connected them with cap-exempt H-1B employers interested in hiring and sponsoring refugees for work visas.
