US Visa Solutions | Janice A. Flynn
In February 2012, Janice established the firm US Visa Solutions, bringing with her an extensive knowledge base and expertise acquired over the course of 10 years practising U.S. immigration law.
Although Janice has experience in a wide range of immigration matters including both family and employment based visa applications, she has particular expertise on employment-based matters. Janice regularly advises multinational companies on their overall U.S. immigration strategy. Janice works with both companies and individuals in order to fulfil their plans of doing business in the United States. She has successfully prepared numerous E-1/E-2 visa applications, including highly complex cases.
Clients can count on Janice for sound, spot-on immigration advice.
Prior to establishing her own firm, Janice worked at an established US visa and nationality firm based in central London for five years. Before moving to London, she worked with the Law Offices of Susan Fortino-Brown and Kempster, Keller & Lenz-Calvo in Chicago, Illinois and within the immigration department of FagelHaber LLC (now known as Thompson Coburn LLP).
Janice graduated from the John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois and was admitted to the Illinois state bar in 2004. She is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, American Women Lawyers in London and the International Irish Business Network.
Janice is also a member of the Board of Trustees for icap (Immigrant Counselling & Psychotherapy) which is a registered British charity providing high quality counselling and psychotherapy principally to Irish immigrants.
Janice is a native of Chicago and has been living in the UK for more than 10 years. She lives near London with her partner and their two Hungarian Vizslas.

Guest Speakers at our GC Summit
Emmy Nominated Journalist & Filmmaker at Channel 4
I am also delighted that the Emmy nominated journalist and filmmaker (Shaunagh Connaire) will be our guest speaker and give us a Talk about her career journey.
Shaunagh reports for Channel 4’s critically acclaimed foreign affairs series Unreported World and their flagship show Dispatches. In 2014 she travelled to Sierra Leone and filmed in the epicentre of the deadliest Ebola outbreak ever recorded. The resulting film was nominated for an Emmy award and won the prestigious Columbia DuPont award. Shaunagh also did TEDx talk in 2015 about her experience as the first filmmaker to cover the Ebola crisis.
In 2015 she went undercover into China and worked with LGBT activists to expose clinics who were offering conversion therapy and sometimes even electric shock therapy as a so called cure for homosexuality. In 2016 she was the first ever reporter to make a film in Iran for Unreported World. Shaunagh’s most recent film explores the plight of LGBT refugees who have escaped persecution in Syria and Iraq only to find they’re exposed to the same levels of homophobic abuse in Europe.
Shaunagh has produced and directed for BBC 1, BBC World, CNBC International and regularly produces debates alongside the World Economic Forum in Davos. Shaunagh’s work has been published in the Guardian, the Telegraph, Elle Magazine and The Irish Times. Before pursuing a career in journalism Shaunagh trained as an accountant with KPMG in Ireland.
