Green Card was approved thanks to Attorney Hong

Attorney Hong handled our marriage-based green card case with outstanding precision, professionalism, and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he promptly alerted us whenever we were about to make a mistake and carefully guided us in addressing any potential weaknesses in our case. We had ...many questions along the way, and he was always patient, kind, and incredibly thorough in his explanations. His interview preparation tips were invaluable and played a major role in helping us successfully complete the interview and receive a positive result. We give Attorney Hong our highest recommendation. He is exceptionally capable, trustworthy, responsible, and highly responsive — truly one of the best attorneys you could work with.

Excellent

Yongki is a very diligent, patient and transparent attorney. Few will look out for their clients best interests like Yongki. I have worked with him for many years now, having successfully completed several of my employees visas, including my own. I highly recommend his services as he is very pers...onable, knowledgeable and dependable.

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.
