Who we are

About our company

THE COMPANY

20+ years of experience in the passport & visa industry

Passport & Visa Advisors, LLC is an advisory and expediting service dedicated to assisting international travelers who wish to ensure their documents are in order before submitting their applications to either an expeditor or the US Passport Agency for processing.

PVA was created to serve clients with high-quality, face-to-face service levels not usually found in the passport and visa expediting industry. Following the events of September 11th, international travel dropped significantly and smaller passport and visa expediting firms closed or sold to a larger competitor. In the subsequent years expeditors have continued to expand creating a need for a return to quality customer service.

PVA’s proposition value is to cater to the needs of travelers who desire and appreciate personalized service from knowledgeable and understanding professionals. PVA advisors take time to instruct and educate clients on the travel requirements for international destinations rather than the traveler having to rely only on a website and a call center for support.

The owners of Passport & Visa Advisor worked almost exclusively for A Briggs Passport & Visa Expeditors for the better part of a decade. The A Briggs office in Charlotte successfully served individual travelers, corporate clients, new US citizens, and business persons since 2006. In our new Matthews, NC offices we are ready to serve your international travel needs, whether they’re consultative or full service.
