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.

Knowledgeable and Patient - always has her client's best interest

I highly recommend Jiyae Hwang (Scott Legal & PC) for their expertise in E2 Visa applications. My entire E2 visa journey till the approval was a positive one and conducted professionally with utmost genuine care. Her communication was straightforward and she made me involved in every task of the docu...mentation preparation which helped me in answering questions confidently at the Visa interview. Jiyaee helped me with business plan, source of funds and the E2 required documentation and also provided guidance and advice in each phase of the application. I would like to thank the whole team for being attentive and patient with us and also answer our questions very quickly which made the whole complex process very manageably. Jiyae is very dedicated and hard working and if you are looking for a stress free and professional service then you can count on her. I highly recommend Jiyae Hwang.

Highly recommended

I am extremely grateful for the work that has been done on my case by Jiyae Hwang and her colleagues. She was extremely responsive and organized. It was almost hard to know from which time zone she worked from as messages were almost always rapidly answered. My case was won 10 months earlier than exp...ected, and I believe partly because what we summitted was filed without mistakes and that we originally took the best decisions through our initial conversations. Beyond the professionalism I could feel the human qualities of the whole team. I can only highly recommend them. Again, thank you for all the opportunities that have opened up for me.
