Review by an Immigration Attorney

To all the podcast lovers and immigration (law) nerds: Over the next several weeks I will publish here my completely biased reviews of some immigration related podcasts.

Let me start today with one of my favorites: Area 51 by Rahul Menon and Sanjay Krishna. Rahul and Sanjay are not lawyers but that is maybe why their podcast is so compelling. While they talk about immigration and immigration law they always focus on the people involved. A great example for that is a recent episode titled "The Terminal". It tells the story of Manisha and Balaji, two students from India whose dreams to study for an advanced degree in the United States get crushed by some overly zealous CBP agents. A conversation with immigration lawyer Jonathan Wasden provides some legal background.

Area 51 is a good listen. Or as Rahul and Sanjay put it: "It's just immigration, it's not rocket science, or is it?". Highly recommended!
