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.

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.
