100% recommend!

Without going into specifics but my immigration case was longer than a saga! It stretched out over 8 years, but my attorney's expertise and patience made the journey surprisingly bearable. I highly recommend Tsui. She is honest, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Unlike others, she doesn't m...ake unrealistic claims, provides clear and concise guidance, and explores all legal options. If you're serious about your immigration matters and willing to put in the effort, she is the best guide through the process. Coupled with her honesty and expertise, her exceptional organizational skills ensure a streamlined and efficient immigration process. Her ability to keep everything organized and on track is truly commendable. The positive reviews she receives in the immigration community speak volumes about her dedication and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone navigating the complex immigration landscape. With her guidance, you'll be in capable hands throughout your journey.

100% Recommend Tsui made the process smooth and us feel confident.

We 100% recommend hiring Tsui to represent your case. Dealing with USCIS and its documents was an intimidating (for no reason haha) process for us. We provided all the documents Tsui requested but besides that she handled everything for us. When we found ourselves struggling with a question or how t...o answer, Tsui took the time to explain the best way for us to proceed. Tsui met us on the day of our interview and thanks to her we were confident and prepared. The interview went great, and everything was approved! Thanks again

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

vawa recipient /Male/prior arrest

I’m a VAWA recipient with a prior arrest. I came to share my testimony I know Attorney Yee way back in 2014. I went and consulted with her co-lawyer about an immigration inquiry while sitting down in the client reception area I heard Attorney Yee talking to her client over the phone I was amazed at h...ow she explained what to do in other words well explain what are procedures to be done. I stood up and ask the receptionist what the name of the other lawyer which is Attorney Yee whom I‘m referring to. Five years after I have in counter most traumatic experience in my life and my immigration status is in limbo I have to file vawa despite I’m a male recipient with a prior arrest I didn’t have any doubts to go and consult to Attorney Yee regarding my case she listens to me and discusses what’s my possibilities. And she laydowns all the possibilities. Attorney Yee is very meticulous and very detailed in everything gathering my case. the only things that motivated me I could remember from her words you have a strong case and motivate me in pursuing my case despite the emotional incapabilities that I have encountered from my wife. As the case moves forward Attorney Yee was always there to communicate the updates to my case. She’s a person who will not leave you hanging or halfway. she always there’s and responds to you. As the review said. She is an Immigration Attorney with a golden heart for immigrants. As my vawa petition moving forward I didn’t feel anxious about my petition and my chances of getting approved instead, I’m very optimistic that I will be approved for my petition because Attorney Yee will fight for you. Since day one of my petition I’m very confidence that will win my petition because of her how she handles it.And I really saw how she reply to Request of Evidence very precisely and well detailed. I highly recommend Attorney Yee. Thank you so much Attorney Yee for all the effort you have done for me and I will treasure it. Thank you see you again in my filling to citizenship Attorney.Godbless.
