Best Immigration Law Team - H1B/Difficult PERM EB2 case

I had a previous PERM case that went into audit/appeals for 5 years and my former lawyer really made a mess of things saying I just have to wait. I thought there was no hope until a friend in a similar situation recommended Peter Jensen. His excellent team of lawyers outlined a solution on the first ...consultation, took on my case and did exactly what they said they would do. Laurie Gu was excellent in explaining the whole procedure and keeping on top of everything, she was a sweetheart and really helped to lessen my stress during the whole thing. Erin handled the H1b portion well too. The whole team was attentive and my difficult PERM EB2 case (I had experience but no advanced degree) was approved and I got my green card in no time without a hitch. Do not hesitate to give them a call, I am glad I did. Laurie you are the best!

H1B transfer case

I had quite a challenging case for my H1B transfer with one of the worst RFEs that one can get. Peter was very knowledgeable and could explain the situation in simple terms yet is realistic about the possible negative outcome of my case. Peter and his team went above and beyond to get the positive re...sult for my case and did not charge me a dollar extra for all the extra time that they had to spend on it. My H1B was approved and I am beyond grateful to Peter Jensen and his colleagues!

Strongly Recommended

Both Peter and his assistant are very professional and trustworthy. They answered all my questions and prepared all the materials very carefully. I thought my case was a bit tough and I was not very confident at first. But they knew what to do and what can help. I'm very happy with the result.

Jensen & Jensen

Many of us who have gone through the process of obtaining a Visa, whether you are the petitioner of petitionee, understand what a grueling process this is. After months of research and several lawyer interviews, we decided to select Jensen & Jensen as our attorney. I am a business man and young... entrepreneur. I am also very straight forward and a no bullsh*t type of individual. My first meeting with Peter, I soon realized he was the same way. Peter was able to answer my questions in a clear and concise manner. He was able to read my distress and offered guidance with options on how to best maneuver through this process. Peter was very well informed and showed a confidence which allowed me to immediately trust him. You should all know, I had not paid Peter any monies yet. All I knew was that this is the type of person I would like to put my trust in about a future employee who I truly valued. After hiring Jensen & Jensen, we worked directly with Erin Yang & Laurie Gu. Peter was available for meetings and questions as requested. Although, most of my contact was with these two. FYI, I'm the type of individual who constantly has questions. I require knowledge and answers when needed, in order to anticipate the what may or may not come. Some may find it annoying, but I need to understand to make the best decisions. This could also be perceived as hand holding. Well....Laurie and Erin held my hand and were absolutely amazing about it. They walked me through the process explaining each step of the way. They answered all new questions without hesitation. And they also accommodated my meeting requests. Their professionalism is stellar. Their attention to my needs are unwavering. And their knowledge and expertise is abundant. I am truly happy with the service I received from Team Jensen. I have an approved Visa. And most importantly, I have the person I want sitting right next to me who I couldn't imagine building my business without. The end.

Nice and trusty attorney

I have known Peter since 2007. He always gives me the correct and honest information on maintaining my immigration status. That's why I retained him for my green card petition. After 2 year process, I could get the green card without any serious problem. He is really a trustworthy attorney.
