Haywood Martin Wise

I have started talking to Mr Haywood Wise about 4 years ago, when i intended immigrating for the first time. Since that time, my situation has changed more than once and he was always patiently advising me what do i need to do, and how do i need to do it. So, we would exchange ten or more letters, ...than i would abandon the plan for a year, than i would come back with another plan, we would exchange another ten letters and so on, for 4 years. At the end, i have made up my mind and we have proceeded to my application for Visa de Long Sejour which was successfully completed last week. I was nervous at all times since i found Mr Wise on the internet by simple search "Immigration to France" and was always afraid that not knowing my lawyer face to face would cause me problems down the line. But, it didn't turn out to be that way. I was surprised that every time during those years he would reply to questions, sometimes even sending e-mails at 11 at night, and the issue of fees never came up. He would respond every time, no matter how stupid mu question was, and he would advise and guide me. In couple of cases of extreme emergency i had, when i phoned him to do something for me urgently, he would offer everything he had at his disposal, which made my situation much easier. Once we started the procedure for visa, he prepared the file quickly and assisted me even while on vacation. I'm leaving for France in 2 days for a stay that i have dreamed for most of last ten years, and i must say that Mr Haywood Wise is a huge reason why this was done very smoothly.

I approached Mr. Haywood Wise a few weeks before my student visa extension in France (APS) was about to expire. I had gotten a job but my employers were dragging their feet with the sponsorship process. With no time to waste I contacted Martin Wise and he got back to me on all the documents I needed ...to process the work visa. Everything literally came down to the last minute and when all the documents from my employers and me were in place I spent the better part of a day with another lawyer from the firm, at the prefecture in the 17e and then finally at the centres de réception des étrangers in the 18e...However when we reached there, there were no guichets available to do a "changement du statut" which is what I needed to do...So I had to return the next day (the day after my APS expired), and basically all they gave us was an application form with a list of documents which needed to be mailed to the prefecture of my arrondissement. It was all very complicated and exhausting, and even though I have dealt with French administration for getting my student carte de sejour and my APS done; this was way more complicated and I don't think I would have had the tolerance to face everything on my own. Martin, Karim and the other lawyers are all very helpful and should I ever need any immigration help in the future...I now know where to go..

Haywood provided us with affordable representation in our application for my husband's US Immigrant Visa. He kept us informed and provided the necessary information and advice along the way. He accompanied us to the US Embassy in Paris and sat with us for quite some time as we waited our turn for the... interview. We were successful in our application and we have Haywood to thank for it.

Haywood wise had some advantages over other american lawyers I contacted before : He was nice, supportive and straight forward from the start He helped me choose the right visa and the way to apply for it He offered me to pay 50% upfront and 50% when / if the visa would be delivered He knew bette...r than previous lawyers I talked to what kind of documents were requested and what were the chances to get my visa He was always very responsive and even called me during his holidays He was very supportive and helped me think about how to apply and get the visa And finally I got it as we planned In the end I got exactly what I was shooting for in an easy manner with a strong support from Mr Wise Thank you
