Elena Berri is a legal consultant and the owner of a small law firm. According to her business profile, she started her legal career as an assistant at the U.S. Department of State. Elena Berri’s legal education was accomplished at the Ecole Centrafrost Law School in France. Elena is not a native of France, but she has attended and excelled at numerous U.S. Universities including Harvard University, Yale University, and California State University, Sacramento. Elena is a registered nurse and holds a master’s degree in social sciences, all from the U.S. Elena’s parents are Russian immigrants who came to the United States in the mid-19th century.
Elena and her mother were married for 10 years when Elena’s father died in a plane crash. Elena’s nationality is not clear. However, her biological father, who is listed as Yuliyaevich (Russian), appears to have Russian citizenship according to immigration records. Elena and her mother both have U.S. citizenship according to public records. Based on her father’s Russian citizenship, and language skills, Elena is almost certainly an American citizen according to the definition of U.S. law.
Elena Berri, a legal advisor in the San Francisco office of Immigration Law Lawyers, has dual citizenship due to her parents’ citizenship in Russia. She maintains that this is relevant because she has advised her client on matters relating to fulfilling her status as a U.S. citizen and as a legal resident of Russia. According to Ms. Berri, “as my client is a U.S. citizen and as I am a Russian national, it makes no difference whether I am an attorney in San Francisco or San Diego. Neither does it matter whether or not my client considers me his girlfriend or his wife.”
