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.
E-2 visa for Pakistan → E-2 lawyer →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.
L-1 visa for Pakistan →UK & Australia Options
We also advise Pakistani clients on UK (Innovator Founder, Skilled Worker) and Australian (Business Innovation, investor) routes, giving families a full range of global options.

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.

US Immigration Lawyer Islamabad Immigration lawyer near meSeveral lawyers told me I would not be able to get a TN visa. Two weeks after contacting Davies & Associates I was working in New York, visa in hand.
Individual seeking 'Impossible' TN VisaD&A was very detail-oriented and very thorough in what they did. They worked on my case 24/7 and were very patient in answering all my questions.

EB-5 Visa ClientI would definitely be a big advocate for the rest of my life for anyone wanting to explore the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Programme leading to the E-2 visa. The most important thing is a good team behind you. With Davies & Associates, you're in safe hands... you need someone who can support you on the ground and, again, you are well taken care of by D&A. The people are really warm, very helpful and quite open-minded when it comes to business... Not to mention as a passport it's great from a travel perspective... It's just 4 to 5 hours from New York.
Grenada CBI + E2 Visa ClientThe entire process of getting an EB-5 visa is handled in a professional way by Mark Davies and his team. EB-5 is a wonderful option for anyone considering moving to the United States if you have the means. I was hoping to use the H-1B route for my children, but it became unreliable and so I looked to the EB-5 visa instead. It is great for anyone who has the resources. Mark gives you the first meetings himself which gives you great comfort. Both Mark and Sanjay are abundantly available and I even had the pleasure of hosting them at my house.
Parent of 2 EB-5 visa holdersI'm in the process of extending my L-1 visa. I submitted a few questions regarding my case, and he contacted me back almost immediately, both by email and telephone. Unlike other attorneys I met before, he gave me the impression of knowing off the top of his head what kind of visa I have, and what actions had to be taken to extend it. He is very thorough and clear regarding the process and what to expect in terms of timelines and issues that may arise. He is constantly in contact, so you definitely know he's working on your case.
L-1B Visa HolderMark Davies is a joy to work with. His extensive knowledge, speedy response and attentive service took away all my fears of dealing with immigration and visa applications. He is very generous with his time in explaining every step along the way and I have already and will in the future recommend him to anybody who is looking for an immigration lawyer.
