Completely Satisfied

I have worked with Laurie more than once and most recently she helped my wife and I with the I-751 removal of conditions. She has always treated me respectfully. She has worked diligently for me and has always been very professional. At the same time, she has a friendly personality and has never been... someone who is unapproachable. I have always been very pleased with the level of service she has provided and would not hesitate to call upon her again.

Expert & friendly help applying for a visa

We hired Laurie Wu based on a friend's recommendation, and we are grateful that we made this decision. I've been living in China for over ten years and wanted to attend a friend's wedding and visit my family in the USA along with my wife, who is a Chinese citizen. Laurie helped my wife obtain a visit...or visa. Laurie was very friendly and punctual throughout the entire process, and she demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the relevant procedures, experience with clients in similar circumstances, and ability to answer our questions and explain what we needed to know. Moreover, her fluency in multiple languages (English, Mandarin and Cantonese) was especially helpful in our case. Initially, the Consulate denied the visa, apparently because the officer had difficulty understanding my wife's answers in Chinese. After the first interview, Laurie recommended that my wife reapply and request a different officer, and that she be more assertive in explaining her situation to the officer. She did that, and the visa was approved. We would definitely hire Laurie again for future cases and recommend her to friends.

Excellent Fiance Visa Process Experience

From the very first day I was put in touch with Laurie she was accommodating, understanding and gave me sound advice. I liked her straightforward approach and practical advice. Ours was a unique situation and she expertly guided us through it keeping us on track with what were the next steps and what... we should expect. Even at times when we fell behind with the paperwork she checked on us to keep track of our progress. Whether over phone or email she was always readily available and helped us through any doubts we might have or any questions that arose. My fiance worked with her on his end over the phone to get prepared for the interview and loved the experience. His exact words were 'She is awesome and she rocks'. We hit a few road-bumps because of the uniqueness of our situation but were guided through all by Laurie. We now have the fiance visa in hand thanks to Laurie's advice and help. We look forward to working with her in the future as well.

Recommendation

Laurie Wu is fantastic. My wife Yuqin and I hired her to do my wife's K1 visa a few years ago. My wife is from China and it is a difficult and timely process. Laurie's expertise is amazing. Last year we hired her to help with my step-son's visa application as we have the utmost confidence in her.... Yesterday was my step-son's interview and he was approved without any delays or issues. Laurie always returns emails and calls immediately. She speaks Chinese which is very helpful in our situation. She is very precise and on top of things. I deal with a few attorneys and most are not efficient like Laurie.

Thank you, Laurie !

We are very fortunate to have Laurie to represent us in getting a K-1 VISA. Alina is an Ukrainian Citizen and she does not speak English very well, but Laurie had translator to bridge the communication gap when taking to Alina. Laurie's attention to details is impeccable … Laurie always send a very c...lear instructions on what to do, and more importantly with the estimated timeline and next steps … Laurie also do a few things that I thought was genius and very helpful for her customers like us … I can not share her trade secrets on this public forum, so you just have to hire her to represent you if you want to find out. Trust me, you will not regret it. We feel that Laurie is sincerely care about us, and it shows when she always respond to our questions in a very timely fashion and more importantly make us in ease throughout the process. Last but not least, Laurie keeps checking with us and update us on our status, even checking with us on the VISA interview date on how the interview goes. We highly recommend Laurie for anyone that needs a immigration VISA. We also ask Laurie to represent us in getting tourist VISA for Alina’s mother to attend our wedding. Alina’s mother received a 10-year tourist VISA. Alina and Djonli.
