Betty Huang

I hired Betty for my family petition, while F2A was recent. PROs: She guided me at the beginning professionally and helped with the documentation set. She was always responsive to questions CONs: she filled my income in a wrong way (instead of 0$, she declared by foreign income from 1040) so the... application was rejected 2 times. I had to guide her to correct the numbers with my understanding from the forums. While we had these rejections, the bulletin date has retrogressed and we lost our chance to get timely LPR status. She was not aware of retrogression as an immigration lawyer, until i informed her. She told me that we had our documents approved by NVC so retrogression would not affect us, which was also wrong as we did not even had the interview yet. I also had misleading suggestions from her that my family would be denied entry with B1/B2 visa while petition is pending. But they entered US without any problems. So in overall, i could do everything in a better way following up the discussions and forums myself, instead of spending money for a failed-delayed process.

Betty Huang is a terrific attorney. A friend referred me to her after my traumatizing first-attempt at applying for the O-1 visa. My old lawyer had utterly disappeared after her negligence with an RFE resulted in my petition being denied due to abandonment. Ms. Huang, in contrast, is all prof...essionalism. She's also genial, communicative and warm. When I first reached out to her in distress, she made time for me immediately. She took steps to resolve my situation in the short term before we even discussed long-term representation. During this interim period, she treated me like any client and was patient with me. Betty is extremely well-informed about USCIS—not only with regards to its official rules and customary processing times, but also with its little 'annoyances' and flaws. Her knowledgeability was instrumental towards an expedient re-application, which we accomplished in only a month’s time. Best of all about Betty, though, is the respect she has for her clients. When Ms. Huang believed that I might have more information on a given topic than she, she deferred to me. As we assembled my petition, she respected my wishes while checking my naiveté. We worked in tandem on my case, to put together something that we both felt good about. The ultimate success of my O-1 petition was due in no small part to this symbiotic approach towards legal representation. In relaying this testimony to friends, family and colleagues, I have been reminded repeatedly that it is rare one should have so many good things to say about a lawyer. It is telling, then, that I mean every single one.
