Testimonials
Adeline helped me navigate the tricky and complicated process of the E-2 and H-1B visas for our employees. Every step of the way she was professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and a joy to work with. I couldn’t recommend Adeline more highly. She is absolutely the first person to call with any U.S. immigration or visa questions.
VP of Human Resources of UK publicly traded manufacturing company
I contacted Adeline after my L-1A petition, prepared by an immigration consultant in Canada, was denied by CBP and USCIS. She reviewed my case, explained what was deficient, prepared a new petition and contacted CBP to reschedule an appointment for me to present a new L-1A petition. Adeline also prepared me for my interview with CBP. My petition was approved. Adeline works extensively with Canadian entrepreneurs, she is highly knowledgeable in U.S. visas/permits options for Canadian entrepreneurs and investors seeking to expand operations in the US, and is fluent in French!

Adeline saved our situation. She started over our E-2 investor visa application after our E-2 visa application, prepared by a different attorney, was denied at the U.S. embassy in Paris . She reviewed every single element of our file before submitting a new E-2 application that was approved. Now our company rely on her for all immigration cases
