H1B RFE

I applied H1B this year and my company lawyer filed the application. It is selected in the lottery, but I received an RFE in July. The RFE reason is special occupation and beneficial qualification. I worked with my company's lawyer for the first two months, but is not satisfied with their work. My fr...iend recommends Calvin to me and he is great. He quickly started to work on my case and outlined a few key points for the RFE response. We then started to prepare the material and got most material prepared within 10 days. Calvin is very patient and answers all my questions immediately. Although I am located in Seattle area, I am always able to communicate with him by email or phone calls. The RFE is finally approved last week. I would strongly recommend Calvin to anyone who is applying for H1B or responding to H1B RFE. I may also consult or hire him for future immigration questions/cases.

H1B Application

I applied for H1b in 2017 and I didn't use Calvin in the beginning. However I got a RFE in August and my previous lawyer was not responsible and not caring for my case. Googling all the reviews online I chose Calvin, who is very experienced and professional, and it turned out to be the perfectly righ...t choice. He cared about my case and brought out a lot of helpful suggestions. Everybody experienced this know how frustrating, his timely replies, confidence are really comforting. Anyway, I will continue have Calvin handle my other immigration issues and will highly recommend to my friends.

Careful Thoughtful Attorney with Great Price

I hired Calvin to get my wife a green card. He was very responsive to my questions and throughtful in our conversations. He sped along the process to some extent as well and going through the process turned out to be a breeze. I am a lawyer and would recommend a consultation with Calvin.

Such a great lawyer is hard to find

Calvin Sun was a great professional, who responded promptly all our questions and doubts. Less than 48 hours to our interview, my husband lost some documents. We were losing our minds, BUT Mr. Sun went out of his way to help us through this unusual situation. The amount of professionalism and resourc...efulness Mr. Sun showed on those final hours are very admirable. It's hard to find such a dedicated lawyer. Thank you, Mr. Sun.

From F-1 to H1 and about RFE

Calvin is super professional and detailed-oriented. He helped me with my H-1B last year and when I got a RFE from USCIS, Calvin was very cautious and tried hard to get it approved finally. He cares about my case as much as me and my employer care,and he is very professional. To these who could not... find a lawyer in the same state as you work in, I recommend Calvin since I have not yet seen Calvin, but we communicated perfectly through email and mail!! This year Calvin is helping my colleague who is also under F1 visa to get H1b and we look forward to the good news!
