Preeminent immigration attorney Margaret Stock was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship earlier this week. One article is here. Attorney Stock is not only known for being a great immigration lawyer and great teacher (she teaches at West Point), she is also known within the immigration law community for being extremely generous with her time and knowledge.
Attorney Stock also created the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest (MAVNI) program along with the Department of Defense and DHS,
which allows the U.S. armed forces to attract and retain foreign
nationals with language, medical, and other skills critical to military
readiness and national security, and she has created a volunteer program with AILA to assist military families with immigration issues. The Fellowship is well deserved, and it is great that the MacArthur Foundation recognizes the value of her work.
