Amin R. Yacoub is a business immigration attorney based in Orlando, Florida who represents clients nationwide in all areas of employment-based immigration, with a strong focus on EB2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) and EB1 Extraordinary Ability (EB1A) petitions. Having personally obtained his own U.S. permanent residency through the NIW process, Mr. Yacoub combines empathy with strategy to deliver results.
Mr. Yacoub has represented clients from 47 U.S. states and 7 countries worldwide. Admitted to the Supreme Court of the United States, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, multiple U.S. District Courts, and the New York State Supreme Court, Mr. Yacoub has successfully represented STEM professionals, entrepreneurs, physicians, scientists, investors, engineers, researchers, lawyers, and other distinguished professionals – building a near 95% approval rate in EB-2 NIW and EB-1A cases. He has earned a standout reputation in immigration law for crafting persuasive petitions that translate extraordinary achievements into compelling legal narratives.
Prior to joining Bogin, Munns & Munns, Mr. Yacoub led his own immigration and litigation practice. He pursued a PhD in Law (SJD) at University of Virginia School of Law. Before then, he earned his LL.M. in International Law from NYU School of Law, where he received a full-ride scholarship, served as a graduate editor for the NYU Journal of International Law and Politics, and co-authored an academic article with one of the leading figures in international trade law. His legal background also includes volunteering with the New York Immigration Court and the Open Society Foundation.
Mr. Yacoub’s influence extends well beyond USCIS and the courtroom. As an accomplished legal scholar, Mr. Yacoub has authored 16 academic articles in top U.S. law journals. The reach and influence of his scholarship is evidenced by its citation by Oxford philosophers, a formal request by the Romanian Court of Appeals for republication, its translation into multiple languages, and — most notably — its citation by the Supreme Court of Kentucky in a landmark decision affecting millions of Kentucky residents.
Outside of his legal career, Mr. Yacoub is passionate about interdisciplinary learning in Cosmology, Economics, and Philosophy.
