Extremely pleased with Bobby!

I transferred my case from an attorney in Dallas to Bobby's after a brief phone consultation and I never looked back. Bobby is a thorough professional. My case got delayed endlessly because of Covid-19 and we ended up in all sorts of weird situations but he was able to steer the case in the prope...r direction all the time. Because of his long experience, he is even able to contemplate how the US immigration thinks! Bobby provides a complete service, right from help in identifying investment to filing to company structuring after getting the visa and several associated Do's and Don'ts all the way. On top of that, Bobby is friendly and jovial and does not come across as a regular attorney. It was a pleasure working with him. I will recommend Bobby any time.

E2 Visa during a Pandemic!

Myself and my business partner had a dream to start a business in the US during the pandemic. Something that we quickly understood would be tremendously difficult to do, with embassies closing, freight and business coming to halt, and of course, advice looking more and more pessimistic, that is until... we met Bobby and his team! After a year of work and dedication towards our E2 visas, we successfully managed to get them. Not only has Bobby and his team proven irreplaceable when it came to understanding and navigating the visa landscape, but also during a pandemic who’s precedent hadn’t existed previously. Our case was unique and confusing, yet they managed to perfectly organize and execute this without a hitch. His preparation and communication with us on how to orient and what to focus ourselves on, we’re some of the key things that made this such a big success. There were ups and downs but Bobby and his team were always there to support, find solutions and help us find our way and reach our dreams. We thank you and your team a thousand times over for your help with me and my brother.

Received my E2 Visa!

So thankful for the amazing work of Bobby and his team. Me and my business partner first heard about E2 Visa last year during the pandemic and we initially thought that the process is going to be long and tedious and we weren’t even sure if it’s all going to work out. Upon our first call with Bobby, ...we knew immediately that he would be the perfect partner to help us guide through everything so we decided to hire him around April 2021. Throughout the year, Bobby has given us thorough guides and detailed instructions to make sure that we do everything correctly and not leave any gaps that may cause visa denial. Fast forward to January 2022, interview day was super easy and the visa was granted in just a few days. We still can’t believe that we finally got it and it wouldn’t be possible without the help of Bobby and his team. Will definitely work with him again when it comes to renewing the visa!!!! If you’re looking to hire a lawyer to get an E2 visa, look no more!!!!

Bobby and his team are FANTASTIC!

We met with Bobby in January of 2021. During our initial consultation Bobby was candid and open about the possibility of obtaining our E-2 Visa. He was professional and put us at ease right away. The information that was provided by Bobby and his staff (specially Lotte Aarsman) was fantastic and af...ter a few months we were ready to proceed. Once our application was processed and we were selected for an interview, we had another meeting with Bobby about what to expect and what questions the consulate may ask. Fortunately for us our interview went well and we received our five year E-2 Visas, in less than 10 months of our first meeting, all while navigating through the COVID restricitions and protocols. We were so impressed with Bobby and his team that we are now using his services to apply for my spouse's EAD. I have also recommended Bobby to friends of mine to use his services. If you want to get the straight talk and work with professionals, Bobby and his team are the way to go!

YES!!!! Approved!!!!

I am so grateful I came across Bobby's ad when googling E2 Visa's. During Covid when the delays in all departments were crazy long, he worked with me to manage my stress as well as finesse and repeatedly edit my delayed submission and helped me to develop my business plan, that when my interview day ...FINALLY came, it was a rubber stamp kind of day. The professionalism of Bobby and his staff and associates made a stressful endeavour not only satisfying but successful. I will definitely utilize Bobby's services when I comes time to renew my application. Thank you all!
