Testimonials

“Deirdre O’Brien has navigated the difficult and choppy waters of US Immigration for me on behalf of several individuals from several companies. As you can imagine, immigration is a life-changing course for those who set out on it, and there is a lot of stress and uncertainty.

Amid this uncertainty, it’s great to have a trusted and trustworthy, ethical guide on the journey. It’s hard to dance through the hoops that Immigration wants you to go through, but… if you have the incredible talent and extenuating circumstances that happen often enough in technology companies, Dierdre can help your staff confidently proceed through the obstacles and achieve the end goal. It’s never a sure thing, but I put 100% trust in Deirdre’s work.”

Sean O’Sullivan

Managing Director, SOSV

At Orreco, from the beginning the United States was essential for us. As our business grew and we secured Silicon Valley venture capital investment, as founder I needed to be there full time.

From the very first call to the moment that I was informed that my US Visa application was successful, O’Brien and Associates were there every step of the way. 

They expertly helped us navigate the process and assemble all the necessary evidence, which was substantial. OB & A are not only experts in their field but are also a pleasure to work with.yoAt embassy interview, the Immigration official complimented the application and how well it was presented!  If you need a US visa, I would recommend a call to O’Brien and Associates as your starting point. We’ll continue to work with O’Brien and Associates for all of our team who require visas and are very grateful for their support.

CEO, Orreco

“Deirdre and her team went the extra mile. They are experts in US Visa law and process and were of huge help in navigating and fulfilling all of the various hurdles that applying for such Visas presents.”

Charlie Ardagh

Head of Partner & Ecosystem Development EMEA, Facebook & Instagram Marketing Partners

“We worked with Deirdre on several intra-company transfers and my own green card application and found the experience to be very positive. Deirdre and her team are true professionals, consistently exceeding expectations and it’s my pleasure to recommend O’Brien & Associates.”

Alistair Forsyth

CEO & Group Managing Director, Anaconda Global Holdings Ltd

“Deirdre represents our company on all our US inter company transfer applications. We have found her excellent to deal with and delivers a competent and on time service. She keeps her clients informed and displays a depth of knowledge on immigration law that is impressive. I would have no hesitation in recommending her as an immigration specialist.”

Peter McGeough

President of Operations, Bapco Closures LLC

“My company used O’Brien & Associates services to file a new L1-B intra-company transfer visa petition following an unsuccessful attempt without their help. We used their services based on their excellent reputation in the field of U.S. immigration law. This second petition was approved without question and the visa was granted, which can be attributed entirely to the work of this outstanding firm.

During our initial consultation, Ms. O’Brien clearly described all viable options available to us, as well as setting realistic expectations of the likelihood of success. While assembling the visa application, she and her team described precisely what actions we needed to take, promptly responded to any queries, and operated with an outstandingly exceptional level of helpfulness, attentiveness, and professionalism.

Having seen the application process twice, both with and without O’Brien & Associates help, the contrast is stark to say the least. I must particularly stress the following important fact: behind the vague requirements provided by USCIS, there is a large, opaque set of supporting evidence that must be submitted for L1-B cases, unique to each candidate. The layman simply does not have the experience and deep understanding of immigration law required to assemble such a body of evidence.

O’Brien & Associates undoubtedly do. Any individual or organisation interested in U.S. immigration would certainly benefit greatly from their unparalleled expertise and services.”

They have managed my personal work visas and Green card applications very efficiently in the past and now all my company’s visa applications are exclusively handled by O’Brien and Associates. I am thoroughly satisfied with the service level that they bring to a difficult process.”

“Our group currently owns 4 bar/restaurants in New York with a fifth on the way. Only for Deirdre O’Brien the story could have been very different. While in the process of opening our first bar seven years ago we experienced some visa issues while working with another attorney. We turned to Deirdre at the last moment and she was able to turn around a very bad situation. Since then we have worked with O’Brien and Associates on a regular basis as we continue to grow and they have successfully guided us through the E visa process for several of our key investors and management. We are grateful to have built such a great partnership with Deirdre and would recommend that any small business looking to grow in the US do the same.”

Deirdre was always very sensitive to the people behind the case and she consistently went above and beyond what was required of her to ensure a positive outcome for her clients. In addition, her style was open and inviting to any questions I had while we worked together and she always gave her time to provide guidance and respond to questions thoroughly.
