A native of western New York, Eiss began working as an inspector with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) shortly after graduating from Houghton. In 1988 he earned his law degree from SUNY Buffalo and began practicing as a customs and immigration lawyer. For over a decade, Eiss has volunteered his time to assist Houghton in obtaining visas and green cards for its employees and students. Eiss is active in the American Immigration Lawyers Association and serves as a mentor for younger attorneys and paralegals. One of his employees explains that “he loves helping other people realize their potential and find something they love to do.” He has served as chair of the Upstate New York Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers’ Association (AILA), as a member of the AILA National Board of Governors, and was a member of AILA’s INS Enforcement Liaison Committee. |
