Special Visas
Medical, R religious, F student, and L/O/J work visas - dozens of cases handled
Beyond B1/B2 and tourist visas, there's a whole class of special visas that requires entirely different handling - in documentation, strategy, and appointment selection. We've worked in this field for years and know exactly which document to attach, what to say in the interview, and how to prepare for the appointment. For visas requiring prior US-side authorization (student, religious, work), the client brings the approval from their US immigration attorney, and we guide the submission. The visa itself is issued by the embassy.

Frequently asked questions
What do you handle and what do I bring?
We guide you through the whole embassy side: preparing for the appointment, building the file, and getting ready for the interview. You bring the underlying US-side approvals: I-20 for student, I-129 for religious or specialty worker, plus the DS-160 we go over together. The visa decision is the embassy's.
I don't know which visa fits. Can you help me choose?
Absolutely. Tell us your situation - studies, religious assignment, intracompany transfer, medical visa - and we'll route you to the right category. The wrong choice means denial, delay, and a non-refundable fee.
How long does it take to get the visa?
Total time depends on embassy load and your specific case. We explain which expedite routes exist and which of them fits your situation.
Isn't a medical visa just a B1?
Formally yes - it's a B1/B2 visa for medical treatment. In practice, the embassy knows the patient is likely to stay longer, so it requires medical documentation, US hospital approvals and financial means evidence. We prepare the full file.
R-1 religious visa - how is it different from a tourist visa?
R-1 permits work for a US religious community for multiple years (not just six months like a tourist visa). Requires an official posting and an approved I-129. Suitable for rabbis, teachers, and community emissaries.
