Mr. Wise and his team are incredibly knowledgeable, competent and have helped my family immeasurably in the always complicated process of moving to France. I highly recommend him.

Haywood Wise worked with me and my husband in getting our long-stay visas for France. I found him to be very well organized in this process; it made it much easier for me to know precisely what I needed to do from my end. His communications were very clear, and he responded quickly to my questions.

I tried myself to navigate phones and the web in the US to obtain a Spousal Long Term Visa for France, as did my French wife in France, without progress. Haywood Wise, on the Embassy Lawyer list, seemed the most empathetic, knowledgeable and communicative of the three I talked with, starting at the bottom and going up the alphabetical list. He and his staff guided me through the simple, as it turns out, labyrinthe of the collection of proper documents and information. Haywood filled out the official forms for our signatures and prepared the final professional looking dossier to present. He and staff staff answered my questions quickly and often immediately. Haywood Wise made it a very pleasant and efficient experience, even though it took longer than I expected. A few days ago I had the appointment in Houston and expect to have my Visa within about 2 weeks. Xxx

Maitre Wise has supported my annual titre de sejour applications for 4 years. His staff who provide immigration assistance are consistently bright, astute, reliable and responsible young attorneys. I believe this degree is essential for qualified representation. As a life long expat, I am able to handle my own visa applications. I seek assistance to reduce stress and for added legal expertise . This office provides all of this with integrity.

After learning that I would require dual foot surgery that would require an elongated recovery period in France, my wife and I decided to apply for a long-stay visa. We had always wanted to spend an extended time in France and this seemed like a prime opportunity. However, we found the information at the Consulate and on the Internet to be somewhat ambiguous considering our special needs. We decided to consult an expert. From the beginning, Mr. Wise and his team were extremely informative and timely. We hired them to guide us through the application process. After familiarizing themselves with our situation, they provided us a succinct checklist of all of the materials we would need to gather for the submission of our application. Make no mistake, the documentation requirements are complicated and at each step of the way, Mr. Wise reviewed our materials and advised us about their appropriateness. At the conclusion of the process, which took about three months, Mr. Wise and staff sent us the complete documentation packet that we were to present to the French Consulate in San Francisco. On that day, when we handed over the materials, the visa specialist remarked, “My, you are very well organized.” The application process went very smoothly - everything the Consulate wanted was in the packet. Seven days later we had our long-stay visa. We highly recommend Mr. Wise and his team. They were always responsive, took time to explain the specifics of what was required, and had excellent follow-through. I will not hesitate to consult with them again in the future! To sum up, our experience was five-star and we willingly endorse Haywood Wise and his excellent team.

Haywood and his colleague Shawn were very helpful to work on my immigrant visa and despite the long process they were always available to provide all informations and details I needed. I would recommend you to consult them if you need to be advised for any sort of visa.

I had a great deal of trouble trying to attain a Long Stay Visa in Paris, France. I had done everything I could to apply for the visa and followed all instructions but never heard back from the Consulate. After spending hours upon hours over the phone to reach them I could not seem to get in touch with any one or find any information other than what’s listed on the website to further the progress. After months had gone by, I was not contacted back so I emailed Mr. Haywood Wise who answered all my questions and gave me free consultation. We set up a meeting relatively soon after which clarified the dozens of questions and problems I had. After doing so, we simplified what needed to be done. Mr. Haywood Wise gave me insight and information which I then used to finally attain a Long Stay Visa. I am so thankful I had contacted Mr. Haywood Wise as he gave me progress and assisted me to further receive a visa. I highly recommend Mr. Haywood Wise as he is beyond outstanding, brilliant and, at the utmost level of professional.

I am an American citizen, and I hired M. Wise to assist me with my immigration to France as a Family Member of an EU Citizen. M. Wise provided excellent advice and service for my Carte de Séjour in France. He provided a detailed checklist of documents that would be required, arranged for their sworn translation, and prepared my dossier for presentation at the Préfecture. He was always available via phone or email for any consultation or question. I highly recommend Haywood Martin Wise to others seeking advice or counsel regarding immigration to France.
