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.

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.

Thanks to their diligent efforts and strategic approach, my permanent residency was approved smoothly and efficiently.
