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.”

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.

Truly professional immigration attorney

My sponsor retained Attorney Hwang for my H-1B petition, and I retained Attorney Hwang for my wife's H-4 petition. None of the two tasks were simple. It was the first time my sponsor ever sponsored an employee for H-1B, and my wife's immigration status was also complicated. We were a little worried a...t the beginning. Throughout the entire application process, Attorney Hwang showcased her attention to detail, her deep understanding of immigration law, and, more importantly, how she really cares about her client. Attorney Hwang is a great attorney.

EB2 Approved

I had the pleasure of working with Jiyae to navigate the intricate process of obtaining permanent residency through the EB-2 NIW route, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the services provided. From start to finish, Jiyae, demonstrated the utmost professionalism, knowledge, and support. Through...out the two-year journey, Jiyae's expertise was invaluable. Her deep understanding of the EB-2 NIW process was evident, as she guided me through each step with clarity and precision. Jiyae was highly responsive, promptly addressing any question or concern I had with patience and thorough explanations, instilling confidence in every decision made. Thanks to their diligent efforts and strategic approach, my permanent residency was approved smoothly and efficiently. I am truly grateful for Jiyae's dedication and the exceptional service she provided. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking immigration assistance.
