ABOUT ZJANTELLE CAMMISA MARKEL

Founded in 2003, Cammisa Markel is a New York based immigration law firm that represents both organizations and private individuals from all over the world, and have helped numerous businesses with their expansion into the U.S. market. Cammisa Markel is dedicated to making the U.S. immigration process as simple and painless as possible, and pride themselves in building long-term relationships with their clients.Founder and principal attorney, Zjantelle Cammisa Markel, arrived to the United States in from her hometown of Adelaide, South Australia, with the intention of a brief visit. Two decades, a husband, four children and a giant bernedoodle later, New York has become her home, and enabling other people’s American aspirations to happen isn’t just her work, but her passion.Offering a highly personalized service, Zjantelle is driven to achieve positive outcomes for all of her clients and believes that with a no-defeatist attitude, where there is a will, there is always a way. Professional and friendly, Zjantelle obtains working visas for people at all levels of their career and life – from students to corporate executives. Having been through the U.S. immigration process herself (she has previously held J-1, H-1B and E-2 visas prior to marrying her U.S. citizen husband in 2006, and becoming a green card holder in 2007 and a U.S. citizen in 2014), she has been committed to building a practice that not only provides exemplary legal services, but also a high level of personalized service that ensures every client feels secure and well taken care of throughout the often anxiety provoking immigration process.Zjantelle’s career spans Sydney, London, Rome and New York. This international experience gives her a unique understanding of European, Australian and American culture, laws and business practices. Her Australian background and specialization in processing E-3 visas make Zjantelle particularly popular with Australian clientele. Several well-established Australian media and news organizations including the Australian Financial Review, have quoted Zjantelle and sought her opinions related to U.S. immigration law during times of uncertainty and international crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.Zjantelle has been honored by her professional peers and colleagues as a “Super Lawyer” (top 5% in her field of law) for the New York Metro area every year since 2013 and has been recognized in Super Lawyers magazine and in the New York Times Magazine (March in each of those years) as one of the top female lawyers in New York City.
