Martial Arts Academy Approved For E2-NIW

What an amazing experience! I own a martial arts academy in Tennessee, and Scott Legal helped me get approved for a E2-NIW Visa. If you are looking for real professionals who are willing to put the effort into your case then these guys are the best in the United States. My case was complex, and their... dedication to my case showed how much they cared. Jiyae in particular was the most detailed person I have ever worked with, and I really appreciate her constant communication no matter the time or day. Trust me I contacted other big firms across the United States, and Ian Scott was the only person who gave me the confidence to move forward. Scott Legal deserves their success as what you put in is what you get! Thanks Ian and Jiyae you guys are the best

Definitely recommend her

Jiyae was exceptionally responsible, reliable, and attentive throughout my E-2 investor visa application. Thanks to her help, we secured approval without any difficulties. I’m truly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone pursuing an E-2 investor visa.

Higly recommended

I worked with Jiyae on my EB-2 NIW petition. She is a very responsive and talented lawyer, and following her advice, my petition became much better than I had initially envisioned. As a result, my case was approved faster than expected without any RFEs, even though mine was not a typical case for NIW.... I highly recommend her to anyone without a doubt.

Simon Soave Testimonial

“I am very happy and grateful to have worked with Scott Legal. After two denied applications, I felt discouraged and lost, unsure of how to approach a third attempt. Working with Scott Legal—especially with Jiyae Hwang—to develop a new strategy and take a fresh approach to my case was a very wise dec...ision. They are extremely professional and highly experienced. I highly recommend working with them, especially if you are coming from a previously denied case.”

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
