LEADING U.S. Immigration Attorney Michael J. Gurfinkel dropped by “the house that fried chicken built” (Max’s Fried Chicken) in Queens, New York, for merienda, and had the chance to meet the staff and some of the customers, including a family who were having a reunion over lunch. Several of the customers were able to ask their immigration questions.

Paz is one of the diners at Max’s Fried Chicken in Queens, who was able to ask Atty. Gurfinkel her immigration question.

Paz adopted her niece and two nephews in 2022 when all three of them were still under 16 years of age. She wants to know how long it will take before the children can join her in the U.S.

Another diner, Flor, was able to ask two questions: She petitioned her daughter back in October 2013. In the last 10 years, she has not received any letters from the National Visa Center (NVC). Flor wants to know what is happening with her petition for her daughter.

Leading Immigration Attorney Michael J. Gurfinkel and Flor hold up a plate of the restaurant’s signature dish.

The second question Flor had was about her daughter, who works as a nurse in Qatar. Flor wants to know if her daughter can apply for a tourist visa, even if the priority date for her daughter’s petition will be current soon.

Atty. Gurfinkel answers these questions from customers at the Queens branch of Max’s Fried Chicken. This is one of the three branches on the East Coast of the famous fried chicken restaurant that originated in Quezon City in the Philippines. The two other branches are in Jersey City and in Bloomfield, both in New Jersey.
