“I Know the System” — I’m Here to Help.
I’m Jenny Steele, an attorney and currently the Deputy Director of the California Service Center at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). With extensive experience in U.S. immigration administration, I understand how complex the immigration process can be and want to help people better understand their circumstances, rights, and lawful options.
I Know How the System Works.
My name is Jenny Steele. I am an attorney and currently serve as the Deputy Director of the California Service Center at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Through my work in immigration administration, I have gained extensive experience with the policies, procedures, documentation, and administrative processes that shape immigration cases.
I’ve watched immigration policy become increasingly difficult for families to navigate. Decisions made by agencies can affect a person's status, livelihood, family, and future.
I’ve seen how confusing the process can be for people who don't work inside these systems. Notices, procedures, deadlines, applications, interviews, and administrative decisions can be overwhelming.
My goal is to use my legal knowledge and professional experience to help people understand what is happening, identify lawful options, prepare effectively, and advocate for themselves.
Knowledge You Can Use.
I currently serve as the Deputy Director of the California Service Center at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), giving me direct professional experience within the U.S. immigration system.
My work has given me a detailed understanding of immigration administration, including policies, procedures, documentation, and the administrative processes that affect immigration cases.
I understand that people often need more than a government website or a form. They need clear information that helps them understand the process and the questions they should be asking.
Immigration policy may be complicated. Understanding your options doesn't have to be.
Practical Guidance. Informed Advocacy.
My approach is focused on helping people understand their situation, organize the facts, and identify lawful steps they can consider.

Behind every case is a person, a family, and a future.
I believe people facing immigration decisions deserve clear information, careful preparation, and an advocate who understands the system they are navigating.

Experience From Inside the System.
I understand the difference between simply reading a policy and understanding how administrative systems operate in practice.
My professional experience has given me a detailed perspective on immigration administration and the importance of accurate, organized, timely information.
I use that knowledge to help people navigate difficult immigration situations and make informed decisions about their next steps.
