Biography

Kathleen C. Lee is a dedicated Senior immigration attorney providing advice and counsel in immigration matters to individuals and employers.

Kathleen earned her Bachelor of Science from Indiana University Southeast and her Juris Doctor from Indiana University’s Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis. She is an active member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and currently serves as the USCIS liaison to the Louisville Field Office.

Before joining Sapon Immigration, Kathleen practiced at Catholic Charities of Louisville, where she focused on family and humanitarian immigration matters. Her work included family-based petitions, adjustment of status, consular processing, naturalization, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Temporary Protected Status (TPS), U visas, T visas, VAWA cases, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), removal defense, and asylum representation.

Since joining Sapon Immigration, Kathleen has expanded her practice to include a wide range of employment-based immigration matters. Kathleen now fills a Senior Associate Attorney position, with a focus on TN visas, H-2A and H-2B seasonal worker programs, PERM processing and J-visas. Kathleen works closely with employers across multiple industries, including agriculture, food production, and manufacturing, to navigate the complex regulations governing temporary and permanent employment-based immigration.

Kathleen is dedicated to community service and has volunteered her time and expertise at free immigration legal clinics and has presented Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs to fellow attorneys. She has also provided educational presentations to members of Louisville’s immigrant community and has assisted new arrivals in Arizona by helping them navigate the U.S. immigration system and reunite with their families. To stay at the forefront of immigration law, Kathleen regularly attends national conferences, including those hosted by AILA, the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC), and the Federal Bar Association.

Outside of her legal work, Kathleen is an avid birder, passionate about conservation, and volunteers at a local raptor rehabilitation center, helping to care for and release injured birds of prey. She also loves tending to her indoor plant collection and traveling to countries across the globe to experience and learn about other cultures.

The citizenship process for an employee can be long, but Ashley provided timely updates and clear communication along the way. It was great success and glad we were able to use Sapon Immigration for this very important endeavor.
