Immigration Assistance for non EU Same Sex Civil Parnter of an EU citizen
I was referred to Mr. Haywood Wise by the business lawyer of the company I work for here in Paris. My situation was slightly unusual, in that I was an Australian looking to obtain a carte de sejour to remain in Paris based on a UK Civil Partnership that I entered into less than 3 months ago, with m...
It is true that this client's case was highly unusual, in that his situation fell exactly within the parameters of the French Decree of September 6, 2011, which transposes the European Directive from 2004 which the French administration should have been applying in regard to same sex partners in marital relationships in the EU. The result in this case establishes the fact that the administration is finally complying with European directives. Unfortunately, as regards the non-EU partners of French citizens, the administration continues to apply internal law and is thus discriminating against the partners of French citizens! This is not the first time that the French administration has favored EU member citizens over its own citizens, creating a discrepancy in treatment! In fact, recent circulars have acknowledged this discrepancy and have specifically stated that a French citizen may not claim the quality of a European citizen in order to benefit from the more favorable provisions.

Excellent, efficient, and reliable
I would highly recommend Haywood to anyone interested in immigrating and/or doing international business. He is extremely knowledgeable in both sectors. My husband and I worked with Haywood and successfully obtained our 3 year Carte de Sejours (Competences et Talents) and opened an SARL in France. He...
France has restricted family-based immigration to some extent, but professional immigration has been encouraged by provisions such as the 2004 Skills and Talents Card referred to here, or the 2011 European Blue Card, an attempt to compete with the American Green Card to attract skilled foreign workers.

Successful French nationality petition
I hired a previous lawyer before requiring Mr. WISE's services. Unhappy of the services provided by my former lawyer I hired Mr WISE who handled my French nationality case for half what the previous (unsuccessful) procedure cost me. I received a clear retainer agreement with a global fee, and Mr WI...

Thank you so much for your help
Haywood Wise took really good care of our E visa application after we got a denial for a L1 extension and had to leave the US in only 4 days. We got an appointment very quickly and Mr Wise joined us to the US Embassy for the interview and helped us out to get our visa. His payment process is also ver...
I make it a policy for only a 50% payment of fees for complex U.S. visa matters, and the remainder only upon success. Furthermore, to the extent possible when matters are submitted at the U.S. Consulate in Paris, I accompany my clients. Indeed, the U.S. Consulate in Paris tolerates the presence of an attorney, and this has shown to be quite helpful over the years.
