Robert Lubin was born on February 14, 1957 in Montreal, Canada. He grew up
in Montreal, speaking English and French, and earned his Bachelor of Commerce
Degree (Finance) with Distinction at McGill University in 1979. He attended law
school as an F-1 Visa student at the University of Miami in Florida, where he
earned his J.D. (1982) and LL.M., Masters of Law in Taxation (1983). His
practice areas are limited to immigrant investor (EB-5), professional and
business immigration. He has also worked on tax, estate, business and
international law issues in Phoenix, Arizona from 1983 to 1987.
After law school, Robert Lubin worked for three years on an H-1B
Visa and received his "green card" in 1986. He became a U.S. citizen
in 1994.
Robert Lubin & Associates, P.C. (formerly known as The Law Offices of
Robert Lubin, P.C.) was founded in 1988 and the firm focuses exclusively on
immigration issues (with some business law services provided to immigration
clients only). He was among the first attorneys to apply (and receive
approvals) in the self-petition EB-1/Extraordinary Ability and EB-2/National
Interest Waiver categories, with approvals as early as January 1992. He also
led the way to simplified and fair billing structures, with fixed fees based on
successful outcomes, rather than hours worked. The firm’s fastest growing
practice area is in the immigrant investor (EB-5) category. Robert Lubin
was among the first to practice in the EB-5 practice area with projects funded
by EB-5 funds in 1992, 1993 and 1994 (and many more since then). Robert
Lubin not only practices law in that space, but also works with companies
worldwide to raise funds for projects.
Robert Lubin is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association
(AILA), has served on the liaison committee of the Physician Immigration Task
Force, and is admitted to practice law in Arizona (1983), the District of
Columbia (1988), and Virginia (1994). He has appeared as a guest speaker at law
seminars in the United States and throughout the world, including Canada,
China, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, India, the Philippines and Russia.
