Biography

Emmanuel Arowolo is a corporate immigration attorney who advises U.S. and multinational employers on the full spectrum of employment-based immigration strategies. He focuses on nonimmigrant work and investment visas as well as employment-based permanent residence, guiding clients through complex, time-sensitive matters with a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach.

Emmanuel has extensive experience preparing and managing high-volume filings across key nonimmigrant categories, including L-1 intracompany transferees, H-1B specialty occupation professionals, TN professionals under the USMCA, and investment-based E-2 and E-3 visas. His permanent residence practice spans PERM labor certifications and immigrant visa petitions across multiple preference categories, with a particular emphasis on process efficiency, program scalability, and regulatory compliance for corporate immigration programs.

In addition to employment-based matters, Emmanuel assists clients on EB-5 filings, including investments made through regional centers—advising on evidentiary strategy, source-of-funds documentation, and consular processing considerations.

Before joining Jackson Walker, Emmanuel practiced at a global immigration law firm, where he advised employers on program design, operational workflows, and technology-enabled solutions to optimize the effective use of immigrant and nonimmigrant visa categories.
