L-1/A Immigration Petitions

Peter Jensen has been retained by the Apollo Group for the past twenty years and has always provided first rate Immigration services. We have recently had, what on the surface looked like a straight forward L1-A petition, challenged by USCIS with a considerable amount of RFE documents. As usual Peter... came through and had the petition approved. He never fails to have our cases approved and can highly recommend his services.

Peter is really a professional and excellent lawyer

I am a H1b worker and Peter has helped me to transfer several time, all time there is no RFE and get approved successfully including apply for my green card. He and his team is extremely professional and excellent. Also thanks for Erin's help for the past several years. She is a very nice and profess...ional friend. Best to you.

Impeccable attorney and team

In embarking on my Green Card application process, I automatically chose to work with Peter as my attorney, because over the years, my wife and five of her friends had also received their Green Cards through working him. Plus, they all think very highly of him. Given Peter’s track record of success a...nd his reputation (both of which I had firsthand knowledge of), I didn’t have a reason to consider anyone else. I ended up receiving my Green Card on my first attempt, ahead of the projected timescales. Some of the attributes of Peter that I value include the following: - Dependable. If I needed to contact him by phone, either I got to speak to him straightaway, or he made sure he returned my call later that day regardless of his other client commitments. He dedicates time to you as a client of his. - Attentive. He takes a great deal of care to explain everything to you in a clear, straight manner. - Communication. He talks articulately. He talks convincingly. He can be very passionate. To me, those are indications of how he will represent your case behind the scenes. I would also like to mention some of the staff at Peter’s firm who support him, as they also proactively and diligently work to represent your case. Erin, the client service manager, really shined in her role in providing guidance on certain types of matters, including on various paperwork that needed completion. She explained everything with real care, attentiveness and clarity. She is most helpful and very timely with her responses. It was a joy to work with her and I had a very positive experience. Laurie Gu, another attorney at Peter’s firm, provided additional support on certain occasions. She was fully engaged in the details concerning my case, and liaised very closely with Peter. She took a very warm and attentive approach when working with me, and I enjoyed working with her too. I appreciate that like myself, many of us have to obtain a form of a US visa because we simply need it for our various personal and family situations. The process can be lengthy and complex, and you certainly don’t want your case to be declined. I would highly recommend Peter as your immigration attorney given his track record, reputation, dependability and integrity. Needless to say, my wife and I are most grateful to Peter as well as Erin and Laurie for their amazing service throughout the entire process.

Client

Peter and Erin worked very hard on my case. They were working on the rfe notice and preparing the documents, word by word. Although it takes a little bit longer than I expected, their detailed focus aptitude and well-prepared documents help me get an approval notice. Sincerely appreciate their hard w...ork and support. If you want an approval, you know who you should hire-Peter Jensen.

The most experienced and professional immigration lawyer

I could not be more grateful for Peter and Erin. I received RFE for my I-140. As soon as I transferred my case to Peter, I felt I was in good hands. And YES, They helped me to get it approved!! Peter is so knowledgeable and well-experienced. He patiently explained and guided me every step of the way.... I felt his genuine care and respect from his tireless dedication and strong professionalism to ensure I would get the best possible outcome. Peter and Erin are very trustworthy and responsive. They were always there whenever I needed to ask a question either through a call or email. Special thanks to manager Erin, she is super helpful, friendly and attentive. If you are in need of an immigration lawyer to start your H1B or Green Card application, I highly recommend Peter. You will smoothly get the approval in a short period of time. If you are in need of an immigration lawyer to help you resolve RFE, I highly recommend Peter. He will fight for you! Most importantly, you don’t have to be in NY to work with them. I have not met Peter and Erin in person as of today due to the COVID.
