B2 visa consult

Mr. Strashnoy helped me with my family’s B2 visa application and he is very professional and explained me very well with all my questions and we finally got the visa with his help. Highly recommend!

Outstanding Immigration Lawyer

David went above and beyond to help our case. From our initial consultation to the successful resolution of our case, David's dedication, professionalism, and compassion have been nothing short of extraordinary. From the outset, he was attentive, patient, and understanding, really taking the time to ...listen to and understand my immigration history, our concerns and answer all our questions in a clear and comprehensible manner. David was able to help me reverse a denial of my immigrant visa and reunite with my husband. We wholeheartedly recommend David for his expertise, compassion, and effectiveness.

I contacted over 10 lawyers before David...

Me and my wife had a difficult case when she got denied entry at the CBP, (she was my girlfriend at the time), After the incident, I contacted well over 10 lawyers and every one either told me its gonna be very difficult or down right impossible to get a visa again. David was the only lawyer point ou...t what the other lawyers has missed and gave us hope there is still a way forward. He was very professional but at the same time very personal and understand how immigration works and how consulate office conduct interviews. I glad to say my wife was able to get CR1 visa after the first interview!! originally we were already prepared that we had to go through the waiver process if we get denied at the interview but very fortunately that was not the case. We thank him from the bottom of our heart, and will recommend anyone who has a difficult case to at least consult with him first before giving up hope!

Exceptional Knowledge & Service for E2 Visa

David was personable, understanding and highly knowledgeable across all subjects in immigration. As a foreign graduating student in the US, looking to obtain my first immigration visa David outlined all of the options available to me and was able to guide me through each of the requirements needed to... obtain my E2 visa. His former experience as an immigration officer reviewing these cases for the US, has positioned him perfectly to understand both sides of the legal application process and approval requirements on the government's side. Look no further than David and his team to get your visa issued.

Amazing support and expertise

David is one of the best immigration lawyers I have had. He is extremely knowledgeable about immigration law and knows how to navigate complicated situations. I was able to ask any questions I wanted and get in contact with him whenever needed.
