“I am so grateful for VisaPro's help in getting an H1-B visa put into place for a highly valuable new hire. I honestly don't know what I would have done if it hadn't been for the help of [VisaPro] Case Manager. He was able to patiently and clearly explain each stage of the process, was very responsive throughout, and was really a pleasure to work with. If we ever go through this process again, I know I will be calling VisaPro for help.� Jen Mooney J2 Interactive, LLC
