I highly recommend Mr.Hong

I am deeply grateful to Mr. Hong for his exceptional support throughout my EB-3 visa process. My case was not an easy one, but he never gave up. He patiently and persistently handled the appeal process with great professionalism and determination. His long-term dedication, flawless assistance, and... thoughtful advice ultimately led to the successful approval of my Green Card. Not only is he highly knowledgeable and extremely competent, but he is also a kind attorney who truly cares about his clients. He was always supportive, attentive, and reassuring throughout this long journey. I truly appreciate his perseverance, expertise, and compassion. I highly recommend Mr. Hong to anyone seeking a reliable and outstanding immigration attorney.

Great Experience!

I had a complicated H-1B extension case that went beyond 6 years. Not too many attorneys wanted to touch my case and gave me the impression that they were more interested in what I could afford to pay. Yongki was different. He made me feel really comfortable from the beginning. He initially expla...ined every step of the process. He was an honest broker for his work. He came up with a proposed strategy and then sought my approval. Once he had my approval, he diligently worked on the case to get the best result possible in a speedy manner. I was very impressed with his honesty, integrity, and hardwork. If given another opportunity, I would hire him again and certainly recommend him. Thank you Yongki! Of course, the H-1B extension case got approved, and based on my full trust and satisfaction to Yongki, I also asked him to take over my pending EB-3 case. Yongki is a wonderful guy and easy to communicate.
