Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) I had the pleasure of working with Verdie Atienza and his team at Davies & Associates , a top-notch immigration attorney in the United States. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication throughout the process were exceptional. With in-depth knowledge of immigration law, they provided accurate advice and addressed all my concerns, instilling confidence.

Professional Team!Posted on Google Christine EnvallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Getting my E2 Visa was a very in-depth process that took just over a year from when I committed to it, but 8 months from when I found a business I wanted to purchase. The only reason I'm giving 4 and not 5 stars is because the timeframe was a lot longer than expected from the initial information. Aside from the timing, Verdie and his team led me through the Visa process, providing all the guidance I needed to be successful, including advising me on the RIGHT type of Visa to suit my goals. Within the process I purchased a business and the greater Davies team included lawyer Rinat who helped me put the deal together. One of the biggest parts was my Business Plan which created from my info by Ana Ortiz, who did an incredible job. The process is certainly tedious and Verdie & Christina were always there to answer my questions, provide suggestions and advice and ensure I had all the documents I needed to support my application. I appreciated their patience with my questions and their advice and in the end, the application was so thorough the interview process was quick and easy. I highly recommend Davies & Associates and look forward to working with them again when it's time to renew my Visa.Load more

Yes, with a few exceptions. Certain categories and individuals, including official travelers on central government business, children under 14, and those 80 years or older, may be exempt from the in-person interview requirement.
Potentially. If you provided fingerprints during your last visa application and are seeking to renew the same visa category, you may qualify for the Visa Reissuance Program, streamlining the renewal process.
No, if your visa is valid, you can use both your old and new passports to travel to the United States, provided the visa is undamaged and suitable for your travel purpose. Both passports should have matching personal data.
You can choose either passport for entry, but disclose all nationalities when applying. U.S. citizens, including dual citizens, must use a U.S. passport for entry and departure.
Certain visa applications undergo additional administrative processing after the consular interview, extending the processing time. Applicants are informed of this possibility during the application, and details can be found on the Consular Affairs website.
Upon receiving your visa, check for accuracy. The expiration date indicates the last entry day, not the allowed stay duration. Your stay is determined by the Department of Homeland Security upon entry. Further guidance on interpreting your visa is available on the Department of State’s Consular Affairs website.
When a visa is available for your petition, NVC will inquire about your plans. If you choose to adjust your status, NVC will hold your file until requested by a USCIS office. Contact the nearest USCIS office for information on adjusting your status.
