Immigration Visa

Hired Gary to get an immigration visa. It was a visa for coaching Irish sports which meant US immigration weren't familiar with the sport making it an extremely difficult case but Gary was there every step of the way to take us through the process and make the process as smooth as possible. Also he ...was always available for follow up questions once the visa was obtained which helped greatly with getting social security number, etc. Would have no problem recommending Gary.

H1B Visas

Gary was instrumental in securing H1B visas necessary for three Irish employees working out of our New York office. He handled the paperwork, promptly answered questions and notified me as soon as the visas were obtained. Should these employees choose to stay when their visas expire, I will ask Gar...y to handle their visa extensions. A knowledgable and professional attorney, I would recommend Gary Healy to anyone needing assistance with immigration matters.

Easy O-1 visa process

Gary was extremely helpful towards getting me an O-1 visa. I tried the paperwork myself but I didn't want to mess it up. Going to him was the best decision. He was real with me. Upfront about potential problems that might come up. And in the end, I'm here legally!

Delighted with their services

I was delighted with the services Gary and his team provided for me. Having been told by most people that it was very unlikely that I would be accepted for my visa I turned to Gary. He immediately set me on the right path. After our initial meeting he told me which visa we should apply for. Within on...e week he had filed for the visa on my behalf having given me exact details on what I needed to do and putting countless hours in himself. Less than 6 weeks later I can gladly say I am back in New York on a 3 year P-1 visa and without doubt I have Gary to thank for that. Thanks again Gary, all the best.
