ONE PRACTICE. ONE FOCUS. ONE PASSION: IMMIGRATION LAW.

The “American Dream” is alive and well globally. The United States is widely recognized as one of the best places to invest and to start and grow a business. Almost one-half of all Fortune 500 companies were originally founded by immigrants to the US or their children – and immigrant-run businesses employ one in 10 American workers*. Think Google, AT&T, Yahoo, Nordstrom, eBay, and Comcast and you conjure conglomerates that were spawned by someone who emigrated to the United States.

There’s just one big problem: the complexities of U.S. Immigration policy and its many regulations. From green cards to entrepreneur visas to citizenship, Wilner & O’Reilly knows the law – and the process – and can even provide advice on the risks involved with an immigration audit, which can inadvertently identify a wide range of infractions and further legal risk. Minimizing these potential problems and achieving your goal is our only focus.
