Immigration legal services for Burlington, Vermont
Wilner & O’Reilly helps individuals, families and employers in Burlington, Vermont review immigration options and prepare for important decisions. If your questions involve a family petition, a new position, permanent residence or citizenship, a consultation can identify the facts and documents that need attention.

Discuss international travel before making commitments
If you live in Burlington and are considering a trip to Canada or another country, bring the proposed dates, route and purpose to your immigration consultation. A short trip can still raise questions about reentry or a pending application. Your current documents and immigration history matter more than the length or convenience of the trip.
Our attorneys can review the relevant circumstances and explain what needs closer evaluation. Do not treat a pending application, an old approval notice or a consultation appointment as proof that international travel is appropriate in your case.
Family petitions and green card planning
A family case starts with the qualifying relationship, each person’s location and their immigration record. Burlington families can consult with us about relatives abroad, marriage-based applications and permanent residence questions. We help identify documents and issues that may affect a proposed filing.
Explore our family-based immigration and marriage-based green card services. If a relative already has a pending case, bring the full application and notices so the discussion reflects what has actually been filed.
Work, study-related transitions and citizenship
For someone considering employment after a period of study, or moving to a different role, timing and the terms of the existing immigration status deserve careful review. Bring current immigration documents, the proposed work arrangement and questions about when work may begin. We can discuss potential nonimmigrant visa options and the information required to evaluate them.
Employers can seek guidance about sponsorship possibilities based on the job and prospective worker. Permanent residents can request a citizenship consultation that reviews residence, travel history and other facts relevant to naturalization.
Preparing for your first meeting
Write a short timeline of your immigration history and a list of the decisions you hope to make. Include prior filings, notices, travel plans and upcoming deadlines. If a different attorney or organization previously assisted, gather the documents you received from them. Our team will explain how to provide records for review and discuss the possible scope of representation.
