Our Gives Back program ran a holiday drive December 2017 to deliver gifts to Immigrant and refugee children represented by Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), a non-profit dedicated to providing legal services to immigrant children. Staff contributed gifts from a wish list provided by KIND, and WR delivered items such as gift cards, diapers, children’s toys, and winter apparel. Read more about this holiday drive HERE.
WR Immigration is proud to share that partners Naveen Rahman Bhora and Richard Yemm have been again named 2022 Co-Chairs for WR Immigration’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) Committee, a program that celebrates differences, builds inclusivity, and lends support to our employees and communities. Under their leadership, the DEIA committee has helped to foster a safe and healthy environment for their peers while also spreading the important message of diversity and inclusion. “I cannot find the words to say ‘thank you’ to partners Naveen and Rich for their leadership and hard work on behalf of the DEIA committee culminating thus far in our recognition by Diversity for Social Impact.

Staying informed and cultivating knowledge is critical to our job as immigration professionals. At WR Immigration, this pursuit is foundational to who we are as a firm and is a quality we prize in every employee. We strive to be the leading voice on immigration-related topics by reporting on best practices and regulatory changes across a variety of platforms, including our WRapid™ knowledge base, conferences, blog, social media, and more.

The quiz was widely praised for being a fun and interactive learning experience! (Don’t worry – if you have taken it yet, there’s still time!
