Successful result with the right lawyer

My K-1 visa process was long and that’s why my Fiancée and I communicated with Laurie during 10 months. It was the best experience I’ve ever had with lawyers. All the information presented by Laurie was clear and accurate. It was impossible not to follow Laurie’s instructions because she explained e...verything step by step. She knows what is the best for you, what you need and her approach is very professional. She was always friendly and every time we talked I felt the smile on her face. She has such a pleasant voice and nice attitude towards her clients that you feel safe about coming interview and your case in general. Laurie helped us during the whole process starting from preparing the documents for USCIS till the interview in the Embassy. I had a feeling that Laurie is always online. Whenever I sent a message with my questions, her replies were prompt and gave me the whole information I needed. My Fiancée and I are pleasantly impressed with such a perfect job. It was the first time we dealt with Laurie but not the last. We will need lawyer’s help after our marriage and we will definitely choose Laurie. Only Laurie.

Expert Guidance

Laurie was very caring and considerate. She put up with a lot of meddling from us during the course of our K1 Visa application. Her work was thorough, anticipated many issues we didn't know about and gave us great guidance for follow up actions after my fiance arrived in the USA. Thanks Laurie! W...e'll be seeing you for the status adjustment and K2 for the girls. :)

OUTSTANDING IMMIGRATION EXPERIENCE - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

I honestly cannot say enough positives about Laurie, even as someone who has worked as a paralegal for an immigration attorney myself, and had been considering doing the filing myself to save money. On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, she gets 10,000 from me. Laurie helped my wife and stepson (originally... from Colombia) to immigrate successfully to the U.S., while we were all living in China. Now, in large part due to Laurie's hard work, we are all together in the incredible and beautiful USA! Laurie responded to every single question I had about the process, anticipated and planned well. We communicated often and as necessary via e-mail, phone, and Skype, and I felt confident our case was being handled well. With Laurie, everything went smoothly, quickly, and successfully! In fact, had I been able to gather the required documents quicker, it would have gone even faster. I feel that because of Laurie's help, there were no avoidable delays. The consular officer even approvingly said her filing was "nice and tight" upon submittal. After our interview and approval, Laurie kept in touch and made sure all our needs and requirements were taken care of and anticipated. Plus, she's a great, humble, and kind person, and has an amazing intellect. She is simply the most extraordinary attorney I have ever had the pleasure of personally knowing. Easy to work with and incredibly efficient. When I think of all this at the extremely economical fee, it's just even more amazing. I searched very hard to find Laurie. We are SO glad Laurie was our immigration lawyer.

Fantastic immigration lawyer, especially US-China

My husband and I have hired Laurie three times - all successful. First was my K-1 visa to come from China to the US, then for my green card adjustment of status. Most recently we hired her to help with my parent's travel visa to come from China to the US for the birth of our new baby. I can't emphasi...ze enough how helpful, knowledgeable and easy to work with Laurie is. We highly recommend her to anyone with immigration needs, especially with US-China related matters. You won't find anyone better!

Spousal Visa

My wife and I hired Laurie Wu to help my wife return to the US on a Spousal Visa from China. My wife previously came to the US on a K-1 visa in 2011, which Laurie also helped us on. We filed for removal of conditions ourselves and while the application was pending, my wife had to return home to care... for her mother and we didn't respond to the government's request for additional evidence in time. For the Spousal Visa application, we attempted it on our own for a few weeks, but discovered we were in over our heads with deciding which forms to use, and even how to properly and accurately provide some of the required information. Laurie provided us with all of the required forms (completing some of them for us), carefully explained what supporting documents to provide, and even where to locate most of it. During the entire process, Laurie patiently responded to our numerous questions and concerns, often on weekends and several evenings as well. My wife had a successful Visa Interview about 3 days ago, thanks to Laurie. She'll have her Visa very shortly and will be returning to the US in a month or so. We appreciate all the time Laurie spent with us, and would truly recommend her to anyone.
