Immigration Case

Attorney Qiu is a very professional, dedicated, and willing to listen to the needs of clients, and at the same time conduct objective analysis based on the situation and present his own solutions. Because we have taken a lot less on immigration status, he is not only our family's lawyer, but also ou...r family's eternal friend in the United States. I hope that any customer trusts him when dealing with him, so that he will get results beyond your ideals.

Impatient and not the best costumer service

I did a couple consultation with Huiyue Qiu for legal questions. The questions I asked were purely legal issues related. During the second time, he became very and rude and impatient with my questions.He even scolded me at one point saying "why did you ask these questions, you even had higher educat...ion?!" Of course I would not know much in Law, my education was not in law, and that's why I wanted to do a legal consultation with a lawyer!! The most ridiculous thing was that he provided me with the wrong information during the session and still charged me the same amount. Later, via email, he realized it and then sent me over the correct information with no apologies. With this attitude even in consultation, I would not recommend hiring him for your legal journey.

A Profound legal mind, with a bleeding Conscience and an incredible passion for Details.

My life was severely sad, uneventful and a constant shadow of fear of the police and immigration authorities. I met Oliver Qiu in 2010, 10 years after my life in the United States of America had been running circles, due to my sad immigration situation. I was given a 3 year hiatus by my employer Supe...rior court of New Jersey, Newark; to go and fix my protracted immigration case. I met Mr. Qiu by referral. After a rehash of my nightmarish life, he said to me, "Maxie I am sorry, based on the facts of your case, I cannot help. Accepting voluntary departure is like a death sentence. Though you have moved on to raise a beautiful family, that is not enough to change your status. You can only pray and hope that the United States congress will have a change of heart and grant people like you, in the shadows the right to stay in America and pursue your dreams" His soothing advice didn't do much for me. I was deflated and tired. Before Oliver Qiu, I had gone through 10 previous attorneys and of course spent $30,000 plus in legal fees, trying to adjust my situation. You can only imagine my utter disappointment, when I rose to leave his office. Mr. Qiu, without prompting said to me, "Maxie, you are from Nigeria, why are you listed as having entered the United States, without inspection? I shot back telling him that I came into New York from Paris with a doctored passport. (All these years some attorney had listed me as coming into America without inspection.) Mr. Qiu then said, if I can produce any document showing that I was inspected when I entered this country, that he will take my case and pursue a "Green card" for me. I take pride in saying that I am a vey meticulous person and two days later I produced a photocopy of my I-94 document. It turns out that was the magic bullet that turned my case around. A month later an immigration Judge in Newark, New Jersey vacated all previous decisions regarding my case. He gave the immigration authorities 30 days to file a different case against me or leave me alone. I held my breath hoping they will leave me alone, but they went ahead and filed another motion to deport based on my fraudulent entry into the United States. They did not care that I have two sons, married to an American professional and that I was a Probation Officer in the Criminal Division of Superior Court of New Jersey; and denied my appeal twice. My case was finally resolved in December 2013, also due to another "magic bullet" document, I produced. Now I have my permanent Green card. To say that Oliver Qiu is a bleeding heart, a profoundly Brilliant, patient and committed Attorney, with an incredible passion for Details is to say the least. Oliver Qiu restored my faith in America. A country whose birth was predicated on ideas. America for me is the actualization of logic and reason. I have cultivated a sincere friendship with Oliver Qiu. He is so self effacing. He reminds me that the first condition of happiness, is that life should be full of purpose, aiming at something outside self. No matter where fate and fortune leads me, Oliver Qiu is forever tied to my history. He is my eternal friend. For me and many others, the name Oliver Qiu is a metaphor for legal scholarship and Justice. I recommend him to all who genuinely seek justice.

very knowledgable of immigration laws

I was subject to departation due to a criminal conviction. I wanted to appeal the criminal case but was afraid that the ICE will keep me in custody and force me to depart. Almost all the immigration lawyers I consulted told me that I would not have a chance to stay outside and my hope was little...u...ntil I met Mr. Qiu. He is very knowledgabel of the immigration laws and listened to my and my family's concerns. In my case, timing was extremely important and he tried really hard to act proactively in order to stop the ICE from transferring me to the deportation center. Without Mr. Qiu's help, I won't be able to stay outside and have a chance to fight against the criminal conviction. A lawyer with a sincere heart and professional compentences is rare and I highly recommend Mr. Qiu. I am looking forward to working with him again after my appeal has a result.
