About

I specialize in immigration law and business civil litigation.My immigration experience includes successfully defending individuals in immigration court proceedings before an Immigration Judge, including, but not limited to, BOND hearings, Form I-751 denials, and defensive asylum cases, together with appeals to the BIA. We also handle all types of family- and employment-based visas.  This includes, but is not limited to, applications to obtain lawful permanent resident status (i.e., obtain a green card) through marriage or employment sponsorship, together with Fiancé (K1), H1-B, L1A/L1B/L2, B2 (Temporary Business Visa), and TN NAFTA (Mexico and Canada) visas. Additionally, we represent clients obtain US Citizenship by filing Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. I also am familiar with the labor certification process with the Department of Labor, as well as resolving administrative glitches or unique situations that require special, thoughtful attention (for example, waiver applications of any kind, including waiver of 2-year residency requirement on J-1 visa).With the LGBT advances to immigration law since 2013 (and further reinforced in 2015), I represent many same-sex binational couples on marriage petitions and fiancé (K1) visas. Additionally, I have successfully represented LGBT (and other) applicants obtain asylum by filing affirmative applications to any one of the eight Asylum Offices throughout the country.  Asylum allows the individual to remain in the United States with employment authorization, federal/state benefits, and a path to citizenship.All clients are welcome, and I have successfully and gladly represented diverse clients obtain all types of immigration relief. We have represented individuals from many, many countries, including:  Afghanistan, Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Belarus, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Canada, Cape Verde, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, France, Gabon, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Jamaica, Jordan, Kenya, Korea, Lebanon, Liberia, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Moldova, Morocco, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Nigeria, North Macedonia, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, South Africa, St. Lucia, Senegal, Switzerland, Syria, Taiwan, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela, United Kingdom, and Zambia.In addition to a full suite of immigration services, I also represent businesses in a broad range of complex litigation matters in state and federal courts in New Jersey and New York and am skilled in all phases of civil litigation.And my partners in the firm specialize in criminal defense.

Mr. George Tenreiro is a real life superhero! From day one when you first step through his office doors, he and Derek are very welcoming, respectful and go above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable and important. He is so understanding, witty and knowledgeable. He turns all negatives into a positive. If you choose him to represent you, I guarantee you won’t regret it! George is the reason I am united with my family in freedom and in peace everyday! Thank you so much! I can’t express in words how much I appreciate the hard work and dedication you put into my case. One word: SUPERLAWYER!!!! Hello!! (That was actually x2 words, but you get the point!)

George not only helped me solve an RFE request promptly, he educated me about the process. I highly recommend George.

Working with George and his firm has been a pleasant experience in getting a favorable outcome for our case, despite lengthy delays from USCIS due to Covid. George was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated throughout the process with important developments, from initial filing to the interview process. Highly recommend to anyone looking for legal advice in his fields of expertise.

George helped us file our green card application at the recommendation of my husband’s employer. He was extremely patient and always happy to answer any questions and offer guidance on timelines or alternative approaches. We had some delays due to the pandemic which were obviously out of his control but we still got a green card just 13 months after filing with no interview required! I think this may partially be down to the level of detail and organization of the application that he and his paralegal assisted with. I’d definitely recommend George to anyone going through the immigration process, he is a kind and knowledgeable lawyer with a good sense of humor.

We hired George to help us with the CR1 green card process. George and his team consistently demystified this multi-part application. He is always very patient when explaining all different forms and responding quickly to all of our questions. His professional legal service made us feel confident that we were on the right track throughout the immigration process. From filling to receiving the card, it took less than 12 months with George's help. We highly recommend George and his team and definitely recommend him to friends who are looking for professional legal services.

I granted my green card because from the beginning George was following up my case as he was responsible for reviewing and filing my case in a professional way , he prepared everything and helped me in my interview preparation. I would highly recommend him to be your lawyer as he is honest , professional and knowledgeable of what he is doing.
