Associate Attorney Josh Wildes was recently honored with being interviewed by and quoted in The Chronicle of Higher Education (“The Chronicle”) in their recent coverage of the new changes to the H-1B visa program.
As immigration continues to evolve—especially where it intersects with higher education and global talent—it’s more important than ever for institutions and individuals to stay informed and proactive.
We always appreciate the opportunity to share insights on how these shifts may impact international students, universities, and the broader academic community.

Wildes & Weinberg, P.C. was founded in 1960 by Josh’s grandfather, Leon Wildes, whose best-known accomplishment was his successful representation of John Lennon in his widely publicized deportation proceedings (the circumstances of which have inspired several films and documentaries). The firm specializes exclusively in the practice of U.S. immigration and nationality law, has a distinguished domestic and international clientele, and can assist with any type of immigration matter including employment and investment-based immigration, work permits, permanent residence for qualified individuals, family-based immigration, asylum applications, all temporary and permanent type visas, and U.S. citizenship.

In addition to running a highly successful immigration law practice, Michael is also currently serving his fifth term as Mayor of Englewood, New Jersey, is the author of Safe Haven in America: Battles to Open the Golden Door (which draws on over a quarter of a century of his practice in the immigration field), and is an Adjunct Professor at the Benjamin N.
