Virginia D. Gorostiaga

Virginia D. Gorostiaga is the founder and principal attorney of Gorostiaga Law Firm, where she provides strategic, results-driven representation in complex U.S. immigration matters for individuals, families, executives, and multinational companies.

Ms. Gorostiaga has worked in immigration law since 2007 and has nearly a decade of experience as a licensed attorney. Her practice is distinguished by its combination of technical precision, litigation-informed strategy, and a deeply personal understanding of the immigrant experience. Originally from Uruguay, she immigrated to the United States at age 13. That journey informs her approach to advocacy — grounded in resilience, cultural fluency, and a clear understanding of what is at stake for her clients.

Before founding her firm, Ms. Gorostiaga practiced at nationally recognized law firms in both immigration and commercial litigation, representing major international corporations and handling high-level business disputes. This background allows her to approach immigration matters with a sophisticated understanding of corporate structures, cross-border operations, compliance risk, and long-term strategic planning.

Her practice includes family-based immigration, waivers, removal defense strategy, asylum, L-1 intracompany transfers, EB-1 and other extraordinary ability petitions, investor visas, and complex adjustment cases involving prior overstays, inadmissibility issues, or procedural complications. She frequently collaborates with other reputable firms on niche or high-stakes matters to ensure comprehensive representation.

Clients seek Ms. Gorostiaga for her analytical rigor, candid guidance, and ability to navigate nuanced cases with discretion and clarity. She is committed to delivering carefully structured legal strategies that align with both immediate goals and long-term immigration planning.

In addition to her practice, she mentors aspiring legal professionals and remains actively engaged in ongoing professional development within the immigration law community.
