About Us
VisaZip LLP was founded by former U.S. Government immigration attorneys dedicated to providing high quality and honest immigration counsel to individuals, families, and businesses. Our attorneys have experience working for the federal government, including United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE), which gives us a unique perspective and helps us to provide our clients with strategic legal counsel.
We realize the one-size fits all approach common in the legal industry does not work for everyone. Everyone’s needs are different and that’s why we offer unbundled legal services, which gives our clients the flexibility to pay only for the services they actually need, ultimately saving them time and money. In addition, we offer the convenience of online consultations and a personalized online client portal, which allows our clients to complete the entire process from the comfort of their home or office, anywhere in the world.
Our attorneys have over two decades of combined immigration law experience and have worked on thousands of immigration matters. The extensive experience gained by our attorneys in both the federal and private sectors gives our attorneys a thorough understanding of a wide-variety of immigration issues, and the ability to provide reliable guidance on the most complex immigration matters.
