Immigration counsel for founders and growing companies

Immigration Ascent is a division of Gillespie, Shields and Taylor, providing legal counsel and representation in U.S. immigration matters for founders and growing companies. Open each pathway page for eligibility and process details specific to that filing — founder strategy, O-1A, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, H-1B, or employment-based green cards. Not every startup or founder qualifies for any particular category. We do not guarantee outcomes.

What we handle

Each pathway has its own eligibility rules, evidence, and process. Select a card to open the dedicated page for that filing.
