Helped reunite family

My son is born in the United States and we last saw each other about 9 years ago, when he was 13. I will soon get to see him thanks to the help of Laurie. Laurie is a responsible and professional attorney. She carefully explained the visa process to me. When I had any questions, she gave a detail...ed reply and responded quickly. She is an attorney who deserves a recommendation. I hope to be able to meet her when I arrive in the United States.

Amazing immigration lawyer

Choosing Laurie to help me with my fiancee's K-1 visa application was one of the best decisions I've ever made. She was very responsive to our questions and needs, and provided helpful guidance on every step of the way. As a result the application was completed much more smoothly and quickly than I ...could have imagined.

Working with Laurie Wu

I found that Laurie was very helpful in this process and always returner my E mails within 24 hours even if it was on holidays and weekends . Laurie was friendly and very professional in all aspects of this process. We never had any problems and Laurie was very precise with any information that... she gave me .When my fiancée got to the USA Laurie sent us a nice e mail wishing us a successful marriage . I would recommend Laurie to anyone who ventures on this Journey of bringing their fiancée to the USA , she was helpful during and after my fiancée arrived in the USA

all we had hoped for in our attorney

Ms. Laurie Wu helped my fiancé and I with his fiancé visa case. We consider ourselves very lucky to have her assistance. She came to successfully assist us in our case with a significant burden of proof: an older woman living in the United States applying for her younger fiancé from Middle East. Orig...inally, I had spent weeks taking to immigration lawyers from different states (23 to be exact)! After speaking to them all, Laurie Wu stood out the most. We could not decide on a very important question: should we apply for a fiancé visa or apply for a marriage visa. Some attorneys sounded very pessimistic about the outcome of our case and some advised on the type of visa without knowing much about us. Laurie asked us many questions regarding our background and was the only attorney who asked me to send her a picture of us together before she advised on which type of visa would be best for our case. Then, Unfortunately I was ill advised by a close friend to go with a big name attorney she knew, an attorney who supposedly had years of experience and a big firm! It was an awful experience during which 5 months of our precious time was wasted and accomplished so very little. We were going through lots of frustrating days when I remembered this soft spoken lawyer, the attorney originally I had liked. Laurie Wu was all we had hoped for in our attorney. We found her to be very informative, trustworthy, honest and intelligent yet humble and easy to talk to. In a case of age difference and the woman being the older partner, she remained very professional, nonjudgmental, and supportive. Time and time again, I was surprised by her logical thinking, clear vision, and attention to details. With her calm, organized and logical thinking I always felt much better after talking to her. Despite some of my challenging questions, she always provided answers and proposed solutions to my satisfaction. Her prompt written and oral instructions were always clear which helped us tremendously with the process. I don't know what more to say than having her was vital to our case. She was simply there for us, and we will never forget what a tough and detailed process she got us through and the support she gave us. Now, we are delighted to work with Laurie to finish up my fiancé’s adjustment of status papers.

We recommend our immigration lawyer

Laurie was referred to me by one of my relatives who was very pleased with the results they got. Laurie is very prompt to return calls and emails. When we talked I never felt I was imposing on Laurie. She was always patient and gave me as much time as I needed. Laurie went above and beyond her obliga...tion as an Immigration lawyer, she completed at least three things that were to be done by me. One example is the online green card fee we needed to pay. My wife and I had so much difficulty navigating the USCIS website. With a phone call to Laurie, she was able to help us submit payment while we were on the phone. I accompanied my wife to her Embassy interview and we felt well-prepared due to Laurie's help. About 2 weeks before the interview, Laurie spent more than one hour with us on Skype for our final preparation, reviewing all the documents again and reviewing the questions the Embassy will likely ask us. Laurie pays attention to details, we had everything we needed. The interview went smoothly. My wife and I have been very pleased with the help we received from Laurie. My wife and I would both recommend Laurie.
