About Immigrant Visa Center

An immigration consultancy firm in the Philippines with a roster of immigration advisers, international visa counselors, lawyers, and education and career counselors to help you with your migration concerns.

History of our company

IVC was established in 2000 by our company president, Mr. Crispin Aranda, better known as “KaVisang Cris.” He initially provided immigration and visa services for those immigrating to the United States together with Atty. Norma Molina. KaVisang Cris continued his immigration advocacy from the television show Manila, Manila (broadcast on KTSF 26 in San Francisco, California) to Amerika Atbp., the Philippines’ first weekly TV show on immigration and visa matters, which aired nationwide from 2000 to 2011.

As a service to the Filipino and migrant communities, IVC has since expanded its visa service offerings to Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the EU-Schengen area. IVC processes visa and sponsorship applications for:

  • Family-based immigration
  • Skilled immigration
  • Student visas and study permits
  • Tourist and visitor visas
  • Investors
  • Work permits and work visas (you must already have an employer)

From providing immigration services through a San Francisco-based law practice since 1989, IVC has evolved into a group of immigrant advocates with an earned reputation for helping people achieve their migration goals.

Legal immigration is our advocacy

As an immigration consultancy in the Philippines, IVC supports legal immigration and shares immigration and visa updates on our websites, social networking sites and print media.

Check KaVisang Cris’ Monday opinion column, Migrant Matters, in The Manila Times. Read his articles on immigration topics from tourist visa applications to immigration appeals. Or visit our Facebook page every Wednesday and Friday for our FB Live discussions on visa concerns.
