We couldn't have done it without Laurie!

I immigrated to the U.S. from Canada on a K-1 Visa. My husband and I retained Laurie after the fact to guide us through the process of my permanent residence application because I had overstayed my Visa and we wanted to make sure that we did everything right. We were intimidated by the application pr...ocess as we were somewhat overwhelmed with all the requirements, and we can't imagine that anyone could have helped us through it better than Laurie did. She guided us through all the steps with the utmost of professionalism, patience and compassion, and she kept the light at the end of the tunnel shining for us throughout. She always made herself available to answer any questions or explain anything we did not quite understand or needed clarification on. She completed all the official forms on our behalf before having us review and sign them and she lifted a lot of the burden from us. We truly feel like had it not been for Laurie, we would have surely been pulling our hair out had we attempted the process on our own. She kept excellent records on our case and was able to access anything within minutes of me asking on the occasion that I misplaced my own copies of certain forms or supporting documentation. Her excellent knowledge of the immigration process, organization and attention to detail kept us in order at all times. We know for a fact that Laurie made the whole process a LOT less painful and we are thankful and grateful for everything she did for us. Because of Laurie, we were completely confident in advance of our final interview at the Immigration office last week. We felt that everything was order, we were totally prepared and we did not fear any surprises. The interview could not have gone any better. Smooth as butter, really. My green card is now on its way. Laurie is an fantastic immigration lawyer and I would recommend her to anyone, anytime.

Incredible!

Laurie Wu is both professional and incredibly personal in her service, the best of both worlds and just what my wife and I needed in her immigration and green card process. She pays attention to all the details and make sure that you understand them, explaining in a very kind and personal manner. W...ithout all of her help I would have been completely lost in all the paperwork. There were also unusual peculiarities in the timeline of our case and when we needed the green card by a certain date, which was made more difficult by my wife's affiliations in China. But with Laurie's help we got the green card just in time when we needed it! Highly recommended and will work with her again when we need to remove the conditions on my wife's green card in two years.

Highly recommend Laurie!!!

Laurie helped us with two cases, one for my son's US citizenship and my fiancée's visa application. She was very experienced in our matter, Laurie was there whenever we had a question and replied prompted with all the information we needed. She handled our case very well and followed through till the... very end. We are really glad we had Laurie help us through this and highly recommend her. Thank you!!

Laurie Wu is a Top-Notch Immigration Attorney!

Laurie Wu has been my wife’s and I’s immigration attorney since we filed for her K-1 fiancé via about three years ago. I spent months researching, calling, and vetting numerous immigration attorneys as my wife’s case was difficult due to her membership in the CCP. I finally found Laurie and after an ...initial consultation with her I felt comfortable to hire her to handle out case. That was one the best decisions I have made in my life, not only did she explain clearly the expectations for the immigration process to my wife and I, she was always available to quickly answer questions or concerns we had about and during the process. Laurie helped us in getting the large amount of paperwork and documents in order and reviewed to make sure we had all the documents since missing just one could cause major delays. Suffice to say, our K-1 visa process went very smoothly considering my wife was CCP, Laurie even took the time to speak with my wife before the interview and make sure she had all the documents in order and was prepared for any questions the visa office would potentially ask. Since we were so happy with the way Laurie handled our K-1 case, we hired her to assist with our green card application. Laurie was extremely helpful in assisting my wife in getting her employment authorization, travel document, and green card. She even spent a few hours of her evening to skype with us to prepare us for the green card interview and make sure we had all of our documents – this really helped calm our nerves before a potentially stressful situation but the preparation for it with Laurie really made the interview go very smoothly. My wife and I highly recommend using Laurie Wu’s services for your immigration needs – I really would not trust anyone else nor can I imagine my wife and I doing this process without Laurie’s professional guidance and help. We can honestly say that for any future immigration processes we will be calling Laurie Wu. -Joe and Jie

Laurie Y Wu - we trully consider her our family lawyer

Dealing with Laurie is always a great pleasure. She already helped us twice with paperwork: with K1-visa for me and then with Guest visas for my parents. And we will definitely hire her again for further steps in my case and guest visas for other members of my family. She is very organized, clear in ...instructions, covering every tiny detail; making sure everything is understood in a right way and paperwork filled out correctly. She is always available via e-mail, phone, skype. She is not afraid to meet tight deadlines. Great follow-up. She is very open, friendly, willing to help. Thank you, Laurie!!!
