Our Story

Started Small. Built on Trust.

In 2015, our founder James Otero spent six frustrating months trying to get a work visa approved, bouncing between agencies that promised results and delivered excuses. There had to be a better way.

He assembled a team of former immigration officers, licensed travel consultants, and education advisors — all with a single mandate: treat every client's application as if it were their own.

Today, Atravels operates across 4 continents, with offices in New York, London, Dubai, and Nairobi. We've helped over 50,000 people travel, work, and study internationally — with a 98% visa approval record.
