**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)** Wir haben Adomat Immigration für unser E-2-Visum beauftragt und insgesamt sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die **Geschwindigkeit und Effizienz des gesamten Prozesses**. Von unserer Unterlageneinreichung bis zur finalen Einreichung beim U.S.-Konsulat verging vergleichsweise wenig Zeit. Gerade bei einem umfangreichen E-2-Verfahren mit vielen Dokumenten haben wir die strukturierte und professionelle Bearbeitung sehr geschätzt. Am wichtigsten: **Unser E-2-Visum wurde erfolgreich genehmigt**, und dafür sind wir sehr dankbar. Es gibt dennoch einige Punkte, bei denen aus unserer Sicht noch Verbesserungspotenzial besteht. Ein Thema war für uns die **telefonische Erreichbarkeit**. Wir wurden überwiegend gebeten, Fragen und Rückfragen per E-Mail einzureichen. Das ist grundsätzlich nachvollziehbar, allerdings hätten wir uns gerade in der intensiven Vorbereitungs- und Umbruchphase unserer Auswanderung in manchen Situationen eine **kurze telefonische Rücksprache** gewünscht. Gerade kleinere Fragen hätten sich oft schnell und unkompliziert telefonisch klären lassen, anstatt mehrere E-Mails zu schreiben und auf Rückmeldungen zu warten. Das hätte sich für uns teilweise persönlicher, effizienter und kundenfreundlicher angefühlt. Außerdem gab es in unserem Fall vereinzelt kleinere Bearbeitungsfehler bzw. Korrekturbedarf in Unterlagen und Terminvergaben. Nichts Dramatisches, aber kleinere Punkte, bei denen man sich als Mandant etwas mehr Genauigkeit wünscht. Ein weiterer Punkt: Wir waren zunächst davon ausgegangen, dass die **Interviewvorbereitung persönlich durch Frau Adomat** erfolgen würde. In unserem Fall wurde diese von einer Mitarbeiterin übernommen. Die Vorbereitung war dennoch hilfreich und professionell, allerdings hätten wir uns hier im Vorfeld etwas mehr Transparenz und eine klarere Kommunikation der Erwartungen gewünscht. Insgesamt würden wir Adomat Immigration jedoch **klar weiterempfehlen**, insbesondere für E-2-Visa. Die Erfahrung, die Effizienz und die strukturierte Begleitung haben maßgeblich zu unserem erfolgreichen Ergebnis beigetragen. Mit etwas mehr Erreichbarkeit, noch mehr Genauigkeit im Detail und transparenter Kommunikation wäre die Erfahrung aus unserer Sicht nahezu perfekt gewesen.

Ich kann Adomat Immigration für den Visumsprozess absolut empfehlen. Die Gründung eines Unternehmens in den USA und der gesamte Visa-Prozess waren für mich als Antragstellerin aus Deutschland teilweise sehr komplex und emotional herausfordernd. Umso dankbarer bin ich für die professionelle, ehrliche und gleichzeitig menschliche Unterstützung durch Ayla und ihr gesamtes Team. Besonders hilfreich war für mich das konstruktive Feedback zu meinem Businessplan und den Unterlagen. Dadurch konnte ich die Anforderungen Schritt für Schritt besser verstehen und gezielt umsetzen. Die Kommunikation war jederzeit freundlich, zuverlässig und klar, und ich hatte immer das Gefühl, mit meinem Fall ernst genommen zu werden. Nach einem langen Weg halte ich nun mein Visum in den Händen und bin für die Unterstützung sehr dankbar. Vielen Dank an Ayla und das gesamte Team! — Sandra Mueller

When we decided to apply for the E-2 visa, we knew we could not afford any legal mistakes. Thankfully, we had Ayla Adomat and Ben Titiera on our side to watch our backs. Even before we officially hired them, we had an initial consultation with Ayla Adomat. She answered all our questions patiently and thoroughly, which instantly gave us the confidence we needed. The communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Every question we asked was answered very quickly. What really impressed us was the speed. From the moment we handed over all our documents, the team only took two weeks to finalize our submission, and that even included regional holidays. That efficiency took a massive amount of pressure off our shoulders. Another huge plus was the preparation for the actual visa interview. In an online meeting, Ben Titiera explained exactly what to focus on and completely calmed our nerves. Thanks to this personal coaching, we knew exactly what to expect and walked into the interview feeling completely confident. Things moved incredibly fast after the submission, too. Because the documents were prepared perfectly, the response from the consulate was lightning fast. We received our pre-approval just one week after filing! That exceeded all our expectations. If you are looking for specialized attorneys who know exactly what they are doing, work at top speed, and guide you through the process on a human level, you are in the right place. Ayla and Ben are always accessible and work with absolute precision. Thank you both for your fantastic work and for guiding us safely and quickly through the jungle of US bureaucracy!
