LEADING U.S. Immigration Attorney Michael J. Gurfinkel and the Citizen Pinoy team were at Gerry’s Grill in Houston, Texas to celebrate the sixth anniversary of the branch. Gerry’s has become a gathering place for the Filipino American community in Houston, and many organizations meet there to enjoy authentic Filipino cuisine and each other’s company.
Atty. Gurfinkel was one of the special guests of Gerry’s Grill USA General Manager and Operations Director Michael Avancena. It was a chance for some of the diners to ask Citizen Pinoy’s Atty. Gurfinkel their immigration questions.
