Alycia Moss
Alycia Moss is a Director in Fennemore’s Immigration practice group, focusing her practice on guiding businesses, families, and individuals through the complexities of U.S. immigration law. With more than a decade of immigration experience, she has represented clients before the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR), the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO), the Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals (BALCA), and federal courts.
Before joining Fennemore, Alycia built and managed a successful immigration practice. She is licensed to practice law in Idaho and Washington, as well as Canada, where she is a Barrister & Solicitor. Her extensive experience includes assisting employers with petitions, visas, immigration compliance, and labor certifications, as well as guiding entrepreneurs and advocating for individuals seeking family- and employment-based immigration solutions.
Alycia earned her law degree from the University of Idaho College of Law, where she was vice president of the student government, a law clerk for the U.S. State Department’s Ambassador for War Crimes Issues, and a published author in the Michigan State International Law Review. She graduated magna cum laude from the University of Colorado at Denver with a degree in history, and also studied abroad at St. Petersburg State University in Russia and at Skope Law School in Macedonia.
A dedicated member of the legal and business communities, Alycia has held leadership roles with the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), including serving as Chair of the Eastern Washington Committee, Chair of the Idaho Chapter, Chair of the Idaho Congressional Liaison Committee, and as a member of the AILA Board of Governors. She is also active in numerous bar associations and civic organizations.
Beyond the office, Alycia enjoys the outdoors and spending time with her daughters. If she were not practicing law, she would happily be leading trips as a backpacking guide.
