About Peter

Biography

Columbia Law graduate with 35+ years of U.S. immigration experience, admitted in New York since 1990. From EB-1A and NIW to H-1B, L-1, O-1, and EB-5, I guide individuals, families, and companies — including Fortune 500s — with the business insight each case demands. Rated 4.9 across 143 reviews.

For employers and investors, immigration is a business decision. With 35+ years advising companies from startups to the Fortune 500 — and real experience in corporate law, insurance, and trade — I handle H-1B, L-1, EB-1C, PERM, and EB-5 as strategy, not paperwork. Columbia Law; NY since 1990.

35+ years guiding individuals and families through U.S. immigration — EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1, H-1B, family green cards, and more. A Columbia Law graduate admitted in New York since 1990, I speak Mandarin, Japanese, and Spanish, so nothing is lost in translation. Rated 4.9 across 143 reviews.

Highly professional, extremely efficient, and endlessly patient!

We had an outstanding experience working with The Jensen Law Group for our H-1B application. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated a profound level of professionalism and expertise. What impressed us most was their efficiency—when we decided to upgrade our case to Premium Processing at the l...ast minute, they handled the urgent request seamlessly and successfully filed the package within just a few days. Throughout the entire process, they were endlessly patient, thoroughly addressing all of our detailed questions and carefully guiding us through every step. Knowing our case was in such responsible and dedicated hands gave us immense peace of mind. We are so grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend their legal services to anyone looking for a top-tier immigration team!

Good service

I worked with this attorney on my EB-3 case and had a great experience from start to finish. Communication was clear, timelines were explained in a way I could understand, and I always knew what the next step was. The team was organized, responsive, and detail-oriented—which mattered a lot for a proc...ess this stressful. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone doing an employment-based immigration case.

The entire process was handled very smoothly and professionally from start to finish. Communication was clear and timely, and I always received regular updates at each stage of the pr...ocess. The team was well-organized, responsive to questions, and very knowledgeable about immigration requirements. They also supported my H-1B renewal and I-140 through premium processing, ensuring everything was filed accurately and on time. Overall, I am very satisfied with their service and would highly recommend The Jensen Law Group PLLC to anyone looking for reliable and efficient immigration legal support.

“Professional, Reliable, and Japanese-Friendly Immigration Attorney”

I had a great experience working with this immigration attorney. They provide support in Japanese, which was extremely helpful, and everything was handled accurately and in a well-planned, organized manner. Throughout the entire process, they explained each step clearly and patiently, which made ...me feel very reassured and confident. I always knew what was happening and what to expect next. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and trustworthy immigration support, especially for Japanese clients.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
