About Fernando
Fernando Santos: Co-Founder of Santos Khoury LLC
He oversees the firm's asylum, humanitarian, and family-based cases nationwide, with an emphasis on building strong, well-documented petitions from day one: the declaration, the evidence, and the legal theory that carry a case through the asylum office or the courtroom.
Clients describe him the way the firm works: responsive, direct, and thorough, in the language they speak at home.
How Fernando serves New York clients
Our attorneys are admitted in New York and appear at the New York City immigration courts at 26 Federal Plaza and Varick Street, in person and by video. We work daily with families from the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, West Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East, in the languages they speak at home.
Watch the attorneys explain detention, court, and asylum on the video center.

“Santos Khoury filed a mandamus petition that finally forced USCIS to act. When I was referred to Immigration Court, Attorney Jad Essayli represented me and my daughter, and we were granted asylum. This completely changed our lives.”
