  • We worked with Janice before on two visa applications and she was our first choice when deciding how to proceed with this application. The visa application process is complicated and full of pitfalls. Janice’s knowledge and experience in navigating through this process is invaluable. I very strongly recommend anyone who is pursuing a visa application to engage Janice at the earliest possible stage.

    Steve Mustard, E-2 Treaty Investor Visa Applicant & Permanent Resident via the National Interest Waiver Immigrant Visa Category

  • I would like to say that had it not been for Janice , it would have been an extremely difficult situation to obtain a visa to the USA. After much bad advice from others, I finally ended up (thankfully) at Janice’s door. She was clear and concise from the outset as to how long it would take and that there were no guarantees but she would arm me with the best ammunition to enable me with a great chance to obtain a visa. I ended up getting an amazing visa (E2) and now travel extensively to the USA, which has created huge benefits to my company and the business we are in. I highly recommend Janice as the ONLY lawyer to put your faith into for any visa issues. She is the BEST.

  • Janice quickly and efficiently obtained myself, my family and my co-workers E1 visas allowing us further to expand our technology business into the west coast of the United States.
