Helpful, Knowledgeable and Available

My sister was erroneously classified to F2B and supposed to have already arrived in the US 5 years ago. I hired a lawyer back in 2019 who claimed she wrote to NVC but could not prove it. I hired David on June 2024 on a desperate final attempt and my sister got her visa on November 2024 and has moved ...to the US this month. I wanted to get it over and done with and I was telling him on our first meeting that we should just litigate and he said why would you spend over $10,000, if we can get it done in under $3000. He helped us so much with dealing with NVC errors, responds to emails promptly even on nights and weekends. I don’t usually write reviews but I personally vouch for David and recommend him at work and the only one I trust to handle my family’s immigration matters. Thank you again, David!

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.

DV 2022

I was a 2022 DV lottery winner and attended my interview in the US embassy in Georgia. During my interview the consular officer questioned me about my previous visits to the United States nine years earlier. The consular officer began to accuse me of illegally working in the United States during m...y previous stay and sent me into administrative processing. Since I knew that my visa had to be issued before September 30th, I understood that I had no chance for any decision prior to the required deadline. I turned to David, knowing that as a former consular officer, he had a high-level understanding of the law and could determine how to resolve any possible questions. Due to his extensive experience, David was able to prove and provide strong evidence for the unjust delay in the administrative processing of my case. After a long struggle, we were victorious and our visas were issued. I am very thankful for David's help and professionalism; without him, we would definitely not have received our visas. Thank you David!

Approval after a denial F1/F2

David helped me and my wife to get our visas approved after the first denial despite the complicated situation. We are from Russia and now it is hard time for Russians to receive US visas, especially after a previous denial. But David helped us to develop the right strategy, choose an Embassy to appl...y to, perfectly prepared us for the interview, and wrote a supporting letter to the Embassy. I definitely recommend him for such complicated immigration cases!

There was a difficult case, and David helped me get a visa after two denials
