During more than six years as a career U.S. Diplomat assigned to China and Mexico, as well as a brief assignment to Guatemala, Travis interviewed over 80,000 business executives, students, tourists, employees, investors, and immigrants seeking visas to travel, work, study or migrate to the United States from across the globe.

Through these interactions, Travis developed a deep understanding of how Visa Officers conduct interviews and ultimately reach their decisions. He realized that visa applicants often failed at their visa interview because they didn’t understand the nuanced requirements or simply did not know how to effectively convey their personal and professional situations to the Visa Officer.

With Travis’ expert guidance, applicants can now fully prepare for the U.S. visa process to ensure they have the best chance of a successful outcome.

After retiring from the U.S. Government, Travis worked in the tech sector, where he focused on launching and scaling impactful emerging technologies with Apple, the world’s most successful technology company, and Argo AI - an autonomous vehicle company which was backed by Ford and Volkswagen. He returned to the practice of law in 2024. Travis obtained his law degree from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, and he is a licensed U.S. immigration attorney.
