Easy to work with!

Laurie is an amazing attorney! She helped with my mom's green card application. It was extremely easy working with her. Our case was complicated due to incorrect first submission, but she handled it with ease. Laurie is attentive to details and very easy to work with. We would not hesitate to hir...e her again if we needed immigration services.

A Great Experience from Beginning to End

My name is Ken and Attorney Laurie Wu prepared a K1 Fiancée Visa application for me and my Chinese fiancée. Laurie also helped me with my K-1 visa application for my ex-fiancée and I withdrew that application. All along, Laurie took time to listen to our concerns and addressed them in a thoughtful,... respectful, and caring way. She replied to inquiries promptly, both to me and my fiancée in China. Her advice was both helpful and reassuring. She called my fiancée many times and spoke to her in her native language. She was available to us both outside of normal business hours. I feel she took the time to cover every possible aspect of our case, and planned for all possible scenarios. My fiancée’s health history and my past drunk driving arrests required her to do extra work. Laurie contacted the United States Consulate in Guangzhou a few times to enquire about the status of our application. Her assistant in Guangzhou reviewed all our documents and assured my fiancée they were in order. Laurie called my fiancée before the interview to help her prepare. By the time my fiancée went to her interview, she felt both confident and prepared, and she passed her interview without incident. We are looking forward to our wedding! We will have Laurie assist us with any and all legal matters up to and including the day my fiancée becomes a US citizen. She has earned our trust, and I recommend her without reservation.

Forever Grateful to Laurie

Your spouse is in very good hands with Laurie Wu. She demonstrated time and time again to my Chinese wife and me that we could not have chosen a better visa lawyer. Laurie was extremely responsive to all our communications, and her thoughtful, insightful replies were greatly appreciated. From the beg...inning of the visa process to the end, Laurie worked very hard on our behalf and always completed her paperwork for the U.S. government in a timely fashion. When I bring back my wife to the United States, I will thank Laurie again and again because I couldn't have done it without her invaluable assistance and kindness. Entrust your spouse's visa application process in Laurie—a decision your spouse and you will be delighted you made.

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.

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.
