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.

Hiring Laurie will be the best decision you'll make for your immigration journey!

We hired Laurie to help us with our spouse visa. As a frequent expat, I have used several immigration firms -- from big companies to small boutique firms -- and I can honestly say that Laurie is, hands down, the best I have worked with. While we never met in person, Laurie knew our case details so we...ll that it was like having a trusted lawyer friend handle our case. She is highly professional, extremely meticulous, and very responsive (whenever we receive an email from the USCIS, Laurie will usually already have sent us a follow-up email explaining what it means and the next steps – before we’ve even read the USCIS mail!). Most importantly, she is able to explain very complicated processes in the simplest terms. We highly recommend Laurie, and will definitely use her services again in the future.

Ray of Hope!!!

From the first time I spoke with Ms Wu, she was respectful, knowledgeable, very prompt and professional. She never let my phone call or email go unanswered for days -- she always responded so well and quickly with good information. Laurie helped my in-laws from China get their visas to visit my... wife and I in the US because we are expecting our first child -- it would have been quite sad if they could not come. Laurie spent so much time with me explaining what needs to be done in a clear concise way and also made my in-laws feel at home and advise them promptly in terms they understood and could quickly act on. Because of her 1-on-1 phone interview with my in-laws, my in-laws were 100% more prepared for their interview. The first time my in-laws tried this, we did it without a lawyer's help and that was a huge mistake on my part!!! Always go with a lawyer. The peace of mind you get is priceless plus it wins huge points with your in-laws :) Thank you Laurie for being part of our family's joyous time and making it possible for the entire family to be together for the birth of our daughter! I wish I had come to her first for my wife's

"The Fast and the Friendly"

As we all know being separated from a loved one is quite difficult, and every day matters. I have had one experience procuring a visa for my fiance many years ago,(what an exasperating experience) and Laurie was more than twice as fast as doing it on my own. Laurie is extremely responsive, as I ...can attest to her even working/taking calls on the weekend to make the process go faster. Also it should be noted that Laurie's voice is a valuable asset, let me explain. Everyone knows how international phone lines voice quality is awful. Laurie's voice is extremely clear, and her English is perfect, so it makes it much easier to hear and understand her perfectly on long distance international phone calls. To say I am thankful for her professionalism would be an understatement, I got lucky finding Laurie Wu. Furthermore Laurie is a Patriot because she allows a military discount. In conclusion, it would be smart of you to hire Laurie Wu.

Excellent Lawyer

My wife and I feel very grateful for all of Laurie’s services. Her organization skills and efficient ways of handling matters made the path to my wife’s green card simpler and clearer. Communication was never a problem as she replied to all our emails at a timely manner, even during weekends. Also, L...aurie’s instructions were very detailed, but not overwhelming. We understood all of her explanations and knew exactly which documents we needed to gather in order to submit. We also found that her attention to detail have even led her to finding errors that my wife and I have overlooked during our parts of our immigration process. During our phone calls, Laurie was very cordial and friendly. She patiently took the time to mentor us and even had a few laughs along the way. Most importantly, Laurie is very friendly and pleasant. During this time in our lives, my wife and I have become extremely busy and have been scrambling to prepare a new home for a baby that is on the way. With Laurie, we rest assured that our immigration matters were being taken care of and put my wife and me at ease. Her kind demeanor made us feel comfortable with her and knew we could put our trust in her. Overall, Laurie is very professional, kind and beyond helpful. We highly recommend her and we would definitely continue to seek her services again in the future.
