Newsletter • Second Edition • January 2026

A MESSAGE FROM OUR TEAM

Happy New Year and welcome to the January 2026 edition of the Onor Immigration Law Newsletter.

Last year was the Year of the Snake. For us, that meant shedding old skin to build something intentional and durable: Onor Immigration Law, a full-service U.S. immigration law firm dedicated to clear, practical, and compassionate legal guidance. We consolidated years of experience across immigration, dispute resolution, and corporate practice to create a platform that serves both immigrants and employers navigating systems that are complex and often impersonal.

As we begin a new year, we reflect on the courage, patience, and resilience shown by immigrants and their families around the world. Each new year brings renewed hope and, often, new immigration policies, procedures, and opportunities. Our role remains the same: to guide you through change with clarity, integrity, and calm.

This year is the Year of the Horse, which reminds us of a lesson that still shapes how we work today.

Growing up, our family transported farm harvests down steep hills on the back of a stubborn but loyal horse named Babes. Crates of fruit swayed as one sibling led, another steadied the load, and everyone carried their share of the responsibility. The journey was slow and demanding, but it worked. That was how our family moved forward.

Onor Immigration Law is built the same way. It is a family venture. Novie and Paolo lead the legal work, Francis oversees operations, and Nora manages finance and accounting. Different roles, shared responsibility, one direction forward. We bring this same family spirit to our clients: steady guidance, clear coordination, and the understanding that immigration is not just a legal process, but a human one.

This story also appears in Noble and Honorable Adventures, a forthcoming book about migration, work, resilience, and becoming. It reflects the values that guide our practice every day: progress does not need to be rushed to be real, and the strongest journeys are carried together.

This issue focuses on the strategic partnerships we have created to better serve clients and tackles some of the most important updates for 2026: the proposed US bill on Dual Citizenship and what it means for individuals, families, and employers. We also share practical reminders to help you plan your immigration journey wisely in the year ahead.

Thank you for trusting Onor Immigration Law to walk beside you. We look forward to supporting your goals in 2026 and beyond.

Warm regards,
The Onor Immigration Law Team

ADVOCATE FOR LOS ANGELES 2028

LA 2028

Los Angeles 2028 is closer than it looks. And for athletes, timing is everything.

With the 2028 Summer Olympics on the horizon, now is the moment for athletes and Olympic committees to think beyond training blocks and qualification cycles. Immigration planning is part of performance planning, whether people like it or not.

I saw this firsthand at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. I volunteered as a nurse, and to this day it remains one of the best experiences of my life. It was chaotic, inspiring, exhausting, and deeply human. Athletes at the peak of their craft. Volunteers holding the system together. Borders temporarily blurred in service of something bigger.

Fast forward to today. My career has evolved. I now support athletes, coaches, and sporting professionals as a U.S. immigration lawyer, helping them select the right visa strategy to enter and compete in the United States lawfully and with confidence.

Common U.S. visa pathways for elite athletes include:

O-1 for athletes with extraordinary ability and international recognition
P-1A for internationally recognized athletes and teams
P-1S / P-1C for essential support personnel
B-1 (in limited contexts) for specific short-term sporting activities
O-2 for essential support staff tied to an O-1 athlete

Each option has strict evidentiary and timing requirements. Waiting until qualification is confirmed is often too late. The strongest cases are built early, deliberately, and with documentation that aligns sport, career, and law.

How OIL supports athletes and Olympic bodies:

Early visa pathway assessment and risk mapping
Strategy for athletes, coaches, medical staff, and entourage
Coordination with federations, agents, and committees
Timing strategies aligned with trials, qualifiers, and events
Clean, compliant filings designed to withstand scrutiny

In this post is an open invitation to Olympic committees, national sporting bodies, and athletes around the world. Start early. Do not let paperwork be the weak link in an otherwise elite campaign.

Screenshot 2025-12-31 at 11.33.10

That message felt even more grounded when I recently attended an event at the State Library of New South Wales, where I met Vaimo’oi’a Ripley, Samoa’s first Olympic sailor. The real-life Moana.

Her story was not just about sailing. It was about navigation. Across oceans, cultures, and identities. She spoke of mobility not as escape, but as continuity. Of movement not as ambition, but as remembrance.

That resonated deeply with me.

We share that passion. To move across borders while staying rooted in who we are. To honor both the freedom of the journey and the gravity of belonging.

The moment that anchored me was when she said:

“When we feel lost at the ocean, we look at the stars. They will lead us back.”

It was more than metaphor. It was wisdom that makes you pause mid-breath.

As we look toward Los Angeles 2028, that reminder matters. We do not always need more to become whole. Sometimes, we just need to honor what we already carry.

Our people. Our land. Our story.

Singapore

Singapore was the first international country I ever visited. It was 2010, and I did not yet know my world was about to widen.

Everything felt different. The order. The pace. The ease with which cultures coexisted. Languages overlapped without friction. No one apologized for being plural. It simply worked. That trip taught me to see the world differently. Borders were real, but so was belonging. Systems could be firm and still humane.

For the first time, I understood how small my world had been. And instead of shrinking me, that realization expanded me. Even in a vast world, I still had something to contribute. My voice mattered. My story mattered.

I have returned to Singapore many times since. Each visit feels familiar and strange all at once. The skyline sharper. The systems smoother. The confidence deeper. The city has moved forward, and so have I. That is what progress looks like. You recognize the outline, but the details have changed.

Singapore planted the seed. Travel became education. Immigration became human. Movement across borders stopped being abstract and became personal. This is what I want others to experience too. Not just travel, but the quiet shift that stays with you long after you leave.

Cambodia

I grew up in the Philippines, practically next door to Cambodia, yet I knew embarrassingly little about it. Geography said we were neighbors. Culture said we lived in different worlds. We were raised on Catholicism and fiesta. Khmers were shaped by Buddhism, quiet strength, and a grace that could not be staged.

When I moved to France, I lived at Cité Universitaire, a global village of student houses. Tucked among them was Maison du Cambodge. I walked past it often and felt that pull of curiosity. The more I learned, the clearer it became. Cambodia was not just another Southeast Asian country. It was a civilization that once astonished the world.

That led me to the Khmer Empire and to Angkor Wat. The largest religious monument on the planet. Not built to impress, but to honor the divine. A feat of engineering, astronomy, creativity, and faith far ahead of its time.

Later, a pop culture detour. Survivor: Cambodia. Team Angkor. Team Bayon. Team Ta Keo. Cheeky, yes. But also proof that this history still breathes in the present.

Then I finally arrived in Siem Reap. Angkor Wat at dawn. Bayon’s smiling faces. Ta Prohm wrapped in ancient trees. Over a thousand temples where precision, beauty, and cosmic alignment spoke without words. These were not ruins. They were reminders of what humans can build when purpose and faith move together.

What stayed with me most was not the stone, but the people. Soft voices. Kind eyes. Easy smiles. Compassion woven into daily life. Buddhism not preached, but practiced.

People spoke Khmer to me every day. They thought I was local. And maybe, in a way, I was. Filipinos and Khmers share Austronesian roots. Our histories diverged, but the echoes remain. You travel to learn about others, and end up finding yourself.

That is why I love this work. Migration is not just paperwork. It is culture meeting culture. Story meeting story. New lives crossing ancient paths.

Thailand

We grew up believing greatness lived somewhere else. That success only counted once it was stamped by a Western country. That Asian talent existed to support someone else’s dream. But look at us.

Raised to honor family and community. Trained to work hard without needing applause. Guided by wisdom older than empires. We laugh through struggle and show up again tomorrow, ready to go.

Asian people have never been small.
The world simply underestimated us.

My work in immigration law bringing Asia Pacific talent to the United States and beyond is not about leaving where we come from. It is about giving our talent the freedom to shine everywhere. No apology. No shrinking. No waiting for permission.

We do not follow the future. We build it. And we belong wherever we choose to stand.

Take Thailand. It is not just a travel story. It is a global one. Thai nurses, hospitality professionals, engineers, digital creatives, entrepreneurs. People carrying brilliance across borders to Australia, the United States, and beyond. Migration is not just paperwork. It is courage. It is choosing opportunity without abandoning who you are.

In 2026, I will be spending time in several regions across Asia-Pacific and Europe as part of my ongoing work in cross-border mobility, professional migration, and international collaboration.

These visits are a mix of professional engagement, community connection, and on-the-ground conversations with globally mobile professionals who are exploring opportunities in the United States.

Whenever I travel, I make space to meet people who are navigating real questions about U.S. immigration. Not formal consultations, but honest conversations about options, risks, timelines, and how to think strategically before making big moves. I have found that many of the most important decisions start with clarity, not paperwork.

If you are a lawyer exploring U.S. opportunities, a nurse or healthcare professional considering practice in the United States, an Olympic athlete looking to get a visa for Los Angeles 2028, or a business or entrepreneur setting your sights on the U.S. market, I would love to connect if our paths cross. Sometimes a short conversation in the right moment can save years of uncertainty later.

If you will be in any of these locations and would like to meet, feel free to reach out or follow along for updates closer to each trip.

The world is mobile. Your strategy should be too.

Bali (January 2026)

Indonesia is one of the most underrated pipelines of globally mobile talent right now. It has scale, ambition, and a rapidly internationalising workforce, but far fewer people offering clear, credible guidance on how to access opportunities in the United States the right way.

From a professional standpoint, Indonesia represents:

A growing population of healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, digital operators, and founders who are already working cross-border
Increasing exposure to U.S. employers, investors, and remote-first business models
A strong appetite for lawful, structured pathways to the United States, without shortcuts or misinformation

Seoul (March 2026)

South Korea produces some of the most globally competitive professionals in Asia. Highly educated, technically skilled, disciplined, and internationally minded. Yet many Korean professionals approach the U.S. not casually, but deliberately. They want to understand the rules before they move, not after something goes wrong.

That mindset aligns perfectly with how U.S. immigration actually works.

Korea sits in a unique position in U.S. immigration strategy:

Strong demand for E-2 investors, E-3 professionals via Australia-based pathways, L-1 intracompany transfers, O-1 talent visas, and employment-based green cards
A deep pool of engineers, healthcare professionals, researchers, creatives, and founders already operating at global standards
Corporates and startups that are increasingly U.S.-facing, whether through expansion, fundraising, or partnerships

Being in Seoul allows for grounded, realistic conversations about timing, risk, and sequencing rather than last-minute panic.

Fiji (May 2026)

Fiji sits at a quiet but important crossroads of the Pacific. Its professionals often move between Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, carrying skills that are in demand but frequently underrepresented in formal immigration conversations.

For many Fijians, the question is not ambition. It is access to clear, lawful pathways that respect both opportunity and obligation to home, family, and community.

Fiji produces highly capable nurses, allied health professionals, tradespeople, educators, and small business operators who are already accustomed to working across borders. Yet too often, they receive fragmented or informal advice that creates risk rather than opportunity.

U.S. immigration requires precision. For Pacific professionals, early clarity on licensure, employer structure, and visa sequencing can make the difference between a sustainable move and a costly dead end.

Conversations in Fiji tend to be grounded and practical. People want to understand timelines, obligations, and trade-offs before uprooting their lives. Being present allows for honest discussions about what is realistic, what requires preparation, and when waiting is the smarter move.

It also creates space to talk about return, circular migration, and long-term planning, not just departure.

Dublin (July 2026)

Ireland occupies a unique position in global mobility. It is deeply integrated with the United States culturally, economically, and professionally, yet it remains firmly grounded in the European Union. That combination creates both opportunity and complexity for professionals and businesses looking toward the U.S.

Irish lawyers, nurses, tech professionals, academics, creatives, and founders are already operating at international standards. Many have U.S. ties through education, work, or family, but still need clear, compliant pathways to navigate visas, licensure, and cross-border career planning.

Ireland consistently produces U.S.-ready talent, but even well-qualified professionals can misstep without proper sequencing. Questions around employer sponsorship, intracompany transfers, treaty-based options, extraordinary ability categories, or long-term residence planning often arise years before a formal application is filed.

For businesses, Ireland is also a launchpad. Companies expanding into the U.S. market frequently underestimate how early immigration strategy should align with corporate structure, hiring plans, and growth timelines.

U.S. immigration planning is increasingly global and proactive. Many of the most important decisions are made well before anyone sets foot in the United States. Being in Ireland allows for thoughtful, in-person conversations about risk, readiness, and timing rather than reactive, last-minute advice.

It is about helping people make informed decisions before momentum turns into pressure.

Ireland understands migration deeply. Emigration is part of its national story. That creates a maturity in conversations about leaving, returning, and building a life across borders. When guidance is practical and grounded, it is taken seriously.

Proposed U.S. Legislative Discussions on Dual Citizenship: Risks and Watchpoints

There have been recent public discussions and policy commentary around potential legislation that could affect how dual citizenship is treated for certain categories of U.S. citizens, particularly naturalized individuals. At this stage, these discussions remain preliminary and nonbinding, and no bill has been enacted that broadly restricts or prohibits dual citizenship under U.S. law.

It is important to state clearly: U.S. law currently permits dual citizenship. There is no federal statute that generally bars U.S. citizens from holding another nationality, nor is there a requirement to renounce foreign citizenship except in limited, context-specific circumstances.

That said, proposed legislation and policy signals, even when not enacted, can be relevant for individuals making long-term immigration and nationality decisions.

Potential Watchpoints Identified in Policy Discussions

While no changes are currently in effect, some proposals and public statements have raised the possibility of:

Increased scrutiny during the naturalization process, particularly regarding foreign allegiances
Expanded disclosure requirements related to foreign citizenship or nationality status
Future regulatory limitations affecting the acquisition or retention of another nationality in specific contexts

Any such measures would face significant constitutional, statutory, and political hurdles, including issues related to due process and equal protection. Nonetheless, early awareness is prudent for affected individuals.

What This Means for Clients

Individuals considering:

Applying for U.S. naturalization

Reacquiring or retaining foreign citizenship

Engaging in long-term cross-border planning involving multiple nationalities

should seek legal guidance before taking irreversible steps. Immigration and nationality decisions often have consequences that extend beyond citizenship status, including tax, travel, and compliance considerations.

At Onor Immigration Law, we advise clients to stay informed, not alarmed. Proactive legal planning allows clients to make decisions grounded in current law while remaining adaptable to potential future changes.

📌 Thoughtful legal guidance today can help prevent unintended consequences tomorrow.
