Tsui H. Yee

After speaking with three different attorneys, I took a chance with Tsui Yee. She was really different. First off, I really felt a good chemistry in terms of our communication level. She responded promptly via phone, text, and e-mail throughout our correspondence. Methodically and painstakingly..., she went over my strategic options in obtaining my U.S. Citizenship. Although she was not easy on me during a mock interview session it would all pay off in the end. She told me what to say and what to not say. I'm happy I trusted my gut instincts entrusting my N-400 naturalization application with Tsui. I am proud to say that I am now scheduled for an Oath of Allegiance to become a U.S. Citizen.

I am not sure how I could express my gratitude... Tsui Yee is more than an uncommon immigration attorney -- she is one of a kind human being. Her dedication and her diligence will not be matched by anyone. For more than a decade prior I was (mis)represented by a (so-called) premier INS Attorney.... I had the fortune to meet Tsui Yee and she immediately took charge of my case, which had been mishandled by my prior attorney to the point that it was stuck in process at the INS office. Tsui filed for FOIA; got a copy of my case (which I never received from my previous attorney); and spent time to explain all of the implications. Once she understood the gravity of the situation she took the time to try to find any resolution, even going personally to the USCIS Offices asking for a status update. Due to the confidential nature of my (mis)filed case, she could not get an answer at first but pressed on until I finally received my appointment. She took the time, went with me to the scheduled appointment, and asked the officer to change the nature of my application since there were extenuating circumstances. In the end I received my Green Card and I owe it all to her. If you need help, look no further! Thank you for getting me out of a desperate situation!

I had a consultation with Tsui to review my naturalization application (which I had already submitted a few months prior). She provided answers to all my questions, clarification where needed, and general advice relevant to my case. She's also friendly and personable which makes dealing with immigrat...ion law a lot easier from an applicant perspective. I'd highly recommend Tsiu for anything related to your immigration case, even if just a simple consultation to shed light on any uncertainty.

Tsui is the kind of lawyer that I imagine young, idealistic students dream of becoming: passionate, driven, tenacious, and fair. I recommend her to everyone I know dealing with an immigration case, be it a marriage petition or an artist visa, and several friends have already met and worked with her.... It is my hope that everyone in need of an immigration attorney finds one who will fight for them the way that Tsui has done for us. My husband was a childhood arrival and his family's deportation order had been appealed and mishandled several times by various other lawyers. We were married in the fall of 2011 and paid a retainer to a different lawyer whose assistant made many careless errors that resulted in our I-130 not being filed until nearly a year later, after which we waited 17 months for our Stokes interview. That original lawyer did nothing to help hasten this, rarely even fielded our phone calls, and when we finally received notice of the interview (with less than a week before our appointment slot), that lawyer said she would be unable to prep us or to attend our meeting, but could send someone who'd never met us in her stead. She even suggested we ask to postpone. We called Tsui, and she fit us in for consultation and prep meeting within the week, bringing herself up to speed on our case, attending our interview with enthusiasm (she gushed over our wedding photos and asked us questions about our special day to put us at ease in the waiting room), and has now seen us through the entire process of having my husband's deportation order reopened and dismissed, applying for a work permit through DACA, and now a successful I-485 petition. Tsui is incredibly proactive: she has attended Infopass appointments on our behalf when wait times were long, helped each of our friends and family members with their affidavits, been the first to reach out to us when she heard anything about our case or thought of anything that might speed the process, and meticulously prepared and delivered each of our forms and motions herself. She always makes herself available to you directly when you call the office, she answers urgent emails on weekends, and all in all you just get the feeling that her clients' well-being is important to her, a quality unique to her among all the immigration lawyers we (and my husband's parents before us) have consulted or worked with. While waiting for our last green card interview, we watched many attorneys come and go. Most of them seemed harried, disheveled, cold; many of them didn't even know their clients faces, just entered the room reading names off of a sheet and waiting to be waved over. In came Tsui, beaming as she came over to us, asking about our families and work, excited to get us through this last big push. My husband hasn't had a lot of lucky breaks in life, but in that moment we knew we were the luckiest couple in the room to have Tsui representing us.
