He advises individuals, families, professionals, and employers seeking lawful ways to work, live, or remain in the United States.

His international legal education gives him a broad perspective on the challenges faced by foreign nationals and their families. This background supports his ability to explain U.S. immigration procedures clearly and address legal issues involving different languages, cultures, and professional backgrounds.

Evan handles employment immigration matters involving H-1B visas, permanent labor certification, national interest waivers, extraordinary ability petitions, and options for foreign medical graduates, professors, researchers, and other professionals. He also assists with marriage-based petitions, fiancé visas, conditional residence, family preference cases, waivers, and naturalization. His admissions include New York, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, and the Supreme Court of the United States.

Evan Taras Bokshan has been a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association since 2006. He is fluent in Ukrainian, Polish, and Russian, which allows him to communicate directly with clients from varied backgrounds.
