Welcome to Occam Immigration—your partner for navigating the complicated world of U.S. immigration law. We know how stressful it can feel when a few government forms stand between you and the people you love. Charleston is a city rich in history and culture, and our goal is to keep your family right here, enjoying everything this beautiful region has to offer.
Our mission is guided by a simple but powerful idea:
“Be together now.”
We believe immigration should bring families closer, not tear them apart. Unfortunately, delays, denials, and major policy shifts of the new administration often stand in the way. That’s why we’ve developed our Fast-Track-to-Filing Program, a streamlined process to get your paperwork filed swiftly and accurately—so you can spend less time worrying about your immigration status and more time building a life together in Charleston.
I'm an Immigrant, too.
I’m David Vyborny, the founder and managing attorney of Occam Immigration. Not only have I helped hundreds of clients achieve their immigration goals, but I’ve also been in your shoes myself—right here in Charleston. My own marriage-based green card, removal of conditions, and naturalization applications all went through the Charleston USCIS Field Office.
Because I’ve personally navigated each stage of the process under the same roof you’ll be walking into, I understand how stressful and emotional it can be. This first-hand experience helps me guide you through local procedures, specific interview expectations, and the unique challenges families face in the Lowcountry. My story fuels our commitment to delivering top-notch legal guidance with empathy and urgency—so you can reach your immigration goals and be together now.
Charleston has long been known as the “Holy City,” famous for its historic downtown, cobblestone streets, and friendly Southern hospitality. But did you know it’s also one of the fastest-growing areas in South Carolina? Over 20% in the last decade. The region is home to people from all over the world—whether they’ve come here for work in the booming tech and hospitality sectors, or to join family members already settled in Charleston’s neighborhoods like Mount Pleasant, James Island, West Ashley, and North Charleston.
This growing diversity has created a strong need for trusted, local immigration services. Our team understands the unique challenges Charleston families face—from long wait times at the local USCIS Field Office to meeting specific documentation requirements. We’re here to guide you through every step, so you can focus on embracing life in Charleston.
