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.

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

all we had hoped for in our attorney

Ms. Laurie Wu helped my fiancé and I with his fiancé visa case. We consider ourselves very lucky to have her assistance. She came to successfully assist us in our case with a significant burden of proof: an older woman living in the United States applying for her younger fiancé from Middle East. Orig...inally, I had spent weeks taking to immigration lawyers from different states (23 to be exact)! After speaking to them all, Laurie Wu stood out the most. We could not decide on a very important question: should we apply for a fiancé visa or apply for a marriage visa. Some attorneys sounded very pessimistic about the outcome of our case and some advised on the type of visa without knowing much about us. Laurie asked us many questions regarding our background and was the only attorney who asked me to send her a picture of us together before she advised on which type of visa would be best for our case. Then, Unfortunately I was ill advised by a close friend to go with a big name attorney she knew, an attorney who supposedly had years of experience and a big firm! It was an awful experience during which 5 months of our precious time was wasted and accomplished so very little. We were going through lots of frustrating days when I remembered this soft spoken lawyer, the attorney originally I had liked. Laurie Wu was all we had hoped for in our attorney. We found her to be very informative, trustworthy, honest and intelligent yet humble and easy to talk to. In a case of age difference and the woman being the older partner, she remained very professional, nonjudgmental, and supportive. Time and time again, I was surprised by her logical thinking, clear vision, and attention to details. With her calm, organized and logical thinking I always felt much better after talking to her. Despite some of my challenging questions, she always provided answers and proposed solutions to my satisfaction. Her prompt written and oral instructions were always clear which helped us tremendously with the process. I don't know what more to say than having her was vital to our case. She was simply there for us, and we will never forget what a tough and detailed process she got us through and the support she gave us. Now, we are delighted to work with Laurie to finish up my fiancé’s adjustment of status papers.

We recommend our immigration lawyer

Laurie was referred to me by one of my relatives who was very pleased with the results they got. Laurie is very prompt to return calls and emails. When we talked I never felt I was imposing on Laurie. She was always patient and gave me as much time as I needed. Laurie went above and beyond her obliga...tion as an Immigration lawyer, she completed at least three things that were to be done by me. One example is the online green card fee we needed to pay. My wife and I had so much difficulty navigating the USCIS website. With a phone call to Laurie, she was able to help us submit payment while we were on the phone. I accompanied my wife to her Embassy interview and we felt well-prepared due to Laurie's help. About 2 weeks before the interview, Laurie spent more than one hour with us on Skype for our final preparation, reviewing all the documents again and reviewing the questions the Embassy will likely ask us. Laurie pays attention to details, we had everything we needed. The interview went smoothly. My wife and I have been very pleased with the help we received from Laurie. My wife and I would both recommend Laurie.
