Davies & Associates is a US immigration law firm with an office in Islamabad. Our US-licensed attorneys advise Pakistani investors, business owners, executives and families on US visa options — with local support in Pakistan for source of funds documentation and preparation for the US Embassy in Islamabad. Whether you are investing in a US business, expanding a Pakistani company, or seeking a US green card, we can help you choose and execute the right route.

Why a US Immigration Lawyer with a Pakistan Office Matters

US immigration is governed by US federal law, so the legal work on a US visa case must be handled by a US-licensed attorney. At the same time, the hardest parts of a Pakistani applicant's case — documenting the lawful source of funds, complying with State Bank of Pakistan remittance rules, assembling FBR tax records, and preparing for the interview at the US Embassy in Islamabad — are easier to manage with a local presence in Pakistan.

Davies & Associates combines both. Our attorneys are US-licensed and our work is done to US legal standards, while our Islamabad office gives Pakistani clients direct, local access throughout the process. You are not working through an unlicensed agent or a marketing middleman — you deal with a real US immigration law firm that also has people on the ground in Pakistan.

US Visa Options for Pakistani Nationals

Pakistani nationals are in a strong position for US business and investor visas — in several respects stronger than applicants from India or China.

E-2 Treaty Investor Visa

Pakistan is an E-2 treaty country (since 1961). Pakistani investors can obtain a renewable US visa by investing in and running a US business — an option not available to Indian nationals.

EB-5 Investor Green Card

Pakistan currently has no EB-5 backlog, so Pakistani investors can pursue a US green card through an $800,000 (TEA) investment without the multi-year queue Indian and Chinese investors face.

EB-5 visa for Pakistan →   EB-5 lawyer →

L-1 Intracompany Transfer

Pakistani business owners and executives can transfer to a related US office, or open a new US branch, using the L-1 visa — a route to expanding an established Pakistani company into the United States.

How We Help Pakistani Clients

Our role is not to push paperwork — it is to choose the right visa strategy and protect your application from the failure points that most often cause delays and denials for Pakistani applicants.

Case Strategy and Eligibility Assessment

We start by assessing which visa route fits your goals, your capital, and your business situation. Choosing the wrong route at the outset — E-2 when L-1 fits better, or regional-center EB-5 when direct EB-5 is more appropriate — costs months. We get this right first.

Source of Funds Documentation

For Pakistani investors, a clean and traceable funds trail is the most demanding part of any E-2 or EB-5 case. We build the file from the origin of capital in Pakistan, through State Bank of Pakistan remittance records and wire documentation, to the US accounts — so the officer can follow every step. Gaps here are the leading cause of Pakistani denials.

Application Preparation and Filing

We prepare the business plan, petitions, and full application package to US legal standards, with each document reinforcing the core legal arguments your case depends on.

Consular Interview Preparation

We prepare you for the interview at the US Embassy in Islamabad — the questions, the documents, and the rationale the officer will probe — so you walk in ready.

Who We Work With

We advise clients across Pakistan, including Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Karachi and beyond, as well as Pakistani nationals living in the Gulf, the UK and elsewhere (the E-2 and EB-5 are nationality-based, not residency-based). Our clients include business owners, manufacturers, IT and services entrepreneurs, executives, and high-net-worth families seeking a US base for the next generation.
