Jacob Thomas Shillig, Esq.

Managing Attorney

Attorney Shillig started his career working exclusively in investment immigration, also known as EB-5. Then he became interested in all types of employment immigration, to include the Alien of Extraordinary Ability Visa or EB-1A and the Executive Transfer Visa also known as EB-1C.

He is very passionate about family immigration because he believes that families can be together forever, and he enjoys reuniting families after years of separation. When non-citizens get arrested for any reason they often end up detained at an immigration detention facility, and can greatly benefit from having an immigration attorney to advocate for them. Attorney Shillig feels very strongly about defending his clients in immigration court, because he feels that foreign nationals and their interests are frequently underrepresented in our society.

In addition to being an immigration attorney he also serves as a Major and Medical Operations Officer in the Texas Army National Guard. He was mobilized in response to Hurricane Harvey and led the medical rescue and treatment missions in the cities of Beaumont, Port Arthur, Vidor and Orange. For his selfless service he was one of two medical officers in the state awarded the Texas Medal of Merit. More recently he was mobilized in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, working directly with the Adjutant General of Texas as a Liaison Officer for Task Force Lone Star, which handled all the military COVID-19 testing for the entire state. For his service and leadership he was awarded the Army Commendation Medal.

He is a member of AILA and the Alabama Bar. His license allows him to practise American immigration law in every state and territory of the United States of America. He spends his free time travelling with his wife Caroline and playing sports with their six children.

Moises Jauregui

Office Manager · Gerente de Oficina

Moises Jauregui nació en una familia gitana y vivió con ellos hasta los 13 años, cuando una familia chilena lo adoptó y le brindó la oportunidad de estudiar. Gracias a ese apoyo, logró convertirse en el primer gitano con un magíster en Chile, un logro que refleja su compromiso con la educación y la superación.

Su esencia gitana lo ha llevado a viajar por muchos países, conocer culturas y comprender los sueños y desafíos que implica emigrar. Esa experiencia lo inspira hoy a ayudar a las personas a cumplir sus sueños de viajar y establecerse en nuevos lugares, acompañándolas en todas las etapas del proceso migratorio, con empatía y dedicación.

Moises was born into a Roma family and lived with them until he was thirteen, when a Chilean family adopted him and gave him the chance to study. With their support he became the first Roma person to earn a master's degree in Chile. His Roma heritage has taken him through many countries, and that experience is what drives him to help people through every stage of emigrating — with empathy, and with patience.
