Julie T Oliver-Zhang

My wife and I strongly recommend the immigration law representation provided by the law firm of Oliver-Zhang Law. In particular, we are most grateful to Julie Oliver-Zhang and to her young associate Annjelica Slate. Brief history – my (now) wife had travelled from China to the States almost 5 years ...ago to visit her best friend whom she know from childhood in China. Her tourist visa soon expired. She wanted to stay in the U.S. Shortly thereafter, I met her and I fell in love with her. I wanted to marry her. And I wanted har to feel secure that she could remain in the U.S. I was familiar with Julie Oliver-Zhang as she is known by her lawyer peers as among the finest Immigration lawyers, as well as personal injury lawyers in Washington DC. Atty Julie Oliver-Zhang is a member in good standing and past governor of the DC Trial Lawyers Association, she has a prefect A-plus rating with Martindale Hubbell and an AVVO rating of 10 which is the highest rating for any lawyer. Clearly she is well respected by her fellow lawyers in Washington DC. I was delighted that she agreed to take on our case - with a mission to obtain a Green Card for my soon to be wife. Upon my first conversation with Julie, I was confident that we were in good hands. Her retainer agreement was reasonable. The staff at Oliver-Zhang law (Annjelica, Marcie, Rachel) were all up to date on the progress of our case, including but not limited issues such as asylum, my wife’s previous marriage in China which needed to dissolved (not an easy task to accomplish here in the U.S.). Our questions were always answered knowledgeably, with sound advice, on a timely basis. The Oliver-Zhang firm was well prepared to file the seemingly endless volume of forms with the U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS). Julie and her firm guided us to provide detailed family histories requited by the USCIS, and proof of our own wedding (following my wife’s Chinese divorce). The firm advised us about the medical history that USCIS must know about each of us, as well as the needed immunization vaccines that USCIS demands. I write this strong letter of recommendation of Oliver-Zhang law following the receipt of a Green Card for my wife! Now that my wife has her much valued Green Card she is a proud permanent resident of the United States. MA and XD

Julie Oliver-Zhang and Marcella, Annjelika, Rachel and their entire excellent team, went way beyond providing us with their legal expertise in our experience of our journey of marriage as a same sex couple and L becoming a permanent resident of the USA from Canada. Julie became more than our l...awyer, she made us feel that she was a true friend we could turn to at any step of the process. Their guidance, support and true compassion in assisting us to create our new chapter of life was impeccable and heart felt. They patiently and thoroughly explained every step of the process, answering all of our questions, sometimes more than once! with the utmost respect and reassurance. We felt safe and as worry free as possible in what can be a very stressful experience. We absolutely, without a doubt recommend Julie and her team to whomever is in need of legal help. We are deeply grateful to Julie and her wonderful team. L and G

I found Julie and Rachel from various law firms on Google to help me apply for a marriage green card. First of all, I want to say that Julie and Rachel are definitely the most professional and trustworthy lawyers around DC. If anyone comes from New York like me and needs lawyers who speak Mandarin to... help with immigration matters, trust me, they are the best. Very attentive to detail, and very patient in answer all kinds of questions, big or small. Unlike other lawyers who get impatient, their attitude from beginning to end is superb. Since I had a political asylum case previously, and I moved from New York to Virginia, I had a lot of thing that I didn’t understand and worried about, and I always have a lot of questions. But every time after I communicate with them, I had more confidence in my own case. With the backlog of a large number of cases during the pandemic, I think it was already really fast. I have introduced Julie and Rachel to friends. Their services well exceed their fees and are strongly recommended!

We cannot thank you enough for helping me to get my green card back. These past two years were a real challenge to me as a mother due to my daughter's illnesses, but you guided us along the way with the paperwork we need, steps to take next, required documents to prepare, with patience and sincerity.... We really appreciate all of your help, professionally and personally.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Oliver-Zhang Law team for my wife’s application for adjustment of status (from travel visa to permanent resident). At the start, we were simply seeking consultation about our options, but we immediately felt comfortable with them. Throughout the proce...ss, we had numerous phone conversations with Rachel as they helped figure out a strategy for us, and we were in contact with several members of their team at different points. We greatly appreciated their availability and how patiently they listened to our story and the special considerations we had. Moreover, they were very flexible and cooperative with us in devising an approach that we were comfortable with. The Oliver-Zhang Law team thoroughly prepared us for every step of the process. Prior to submitting our application, they helped us gather a wide range of supporting evidence. They also helped us organize and select evidence to include with our submission, and prepared a briefing that detailed our background and grounds for admissibility as well as outlined all of our supporting evidence. On top of that, they prepared multiple briefings to address to the special considerations we faced. Post submission, they stayed in contact with us anytime they received case notifications, helped us gather post-submission evidence, and continued to answer our questions. Once our interview was set, Julie led us through a comprehensive mock interview, and the team continued to write supporting documents and answer questions, even on the day of our interview. Our interview was a success, and my wife’s application was quickly approved thereafter. Overall, my wife and I confidently recommend Julie and her entire team to anyone looking for knowledgeable, experienced, prepared, and successful attorneys who are always available, willing to listen, and easy to work with.
