Best Lawyer you can trust !

I found this lawyer on the local Chinese newspaper when INS mistakenly processed my student visa. Mr. Cui first helped me to flip INS wrong conclusion, then he worked closely with my company's HR staff to get my green card obtained smoothly. Now my company with annual revenue around USD 500 millions ...is using him as the legal consultant on the matter of immigration to process our other alien employee's cases. Our company passed the INS field office on-site audit without any further questioning by the INS officers. That means he has prepared the best paperwork for us. Mr. Cui is absolutely the right choice when you are searching for the legal help.

Trustworthy and reliable!

Whenever I gave a call to ask something, Charles is always responding with proper explanation based on the facts. His immigration documentation process is pretty professional and accurate, so I did not have any issues during the whole process. When I needed any documents to extend my H visa, he prepa...red everything for me. Finally I got my green card! I strongly recommend Charles as your immigration lawyer!

Great immigration lawyer, strongly recommended

I hired Charles three times with two different companies for my H1B work visa and green card processing for me and my wife. It was a pleasure working with Charles. He dealt very smoothly with my company to get all documents required and required very minimal inputs from me, he was very resourceful ...in getting things done effectively. He was always very quick in responding back to your email and telephone queries. I have recommended him to several of my friends and would strongly recommend his services to anyone.

What a gret work he did for me..!

I've been working with Mr. Cui since 2005 and I've got 2x H1-B visas successfully and also got 2x green card cases (EB3 and switch over to EB2) sucessfully. He was very responsive in a timely manner (almost within a couple of hours) and was also very knowledgeable since I had a bit complicate situati...on due to the bankruptcy of the company I work for. Again, I would recommend him to all my friends who need their immigration service.

Very Competent Immigration lawyer

I am also shocked at the negative reviews of Mr. Cui. I dont know the details of other cases but I have had a long standing relationship with Mr. Cui. i first came to him after being highly recommended by my friend. Before him I went to a "top" immigration attorney who answers immigration questions i...n newspapers. He turned down my case and said it was impossible to file my petition. I went to Mr.Cui and he didnt even think there was a problem. I was shocked and didnt believe it until I actually got the approval. I have watched his practice grow over the years. I assume a lot of people (sometimes myself also) want to be reassured countless times by their attorney. This is not good for both sides. We need to trust and let the professional do their job. Mr. Cui will talk to the point and answer emails promptly. I have referred several clients to him and he consulted with them and answered all their questions patiently. Whoever reads this review alongside the other negative reviews, should talk to Mr. Cui directly before making a judgment of his professionalism. Think about it, which attorney will actually threaten to call the Police on you unless you actually harass him. I have found Mr. Cui to be a very soft spoken and kind person. Give him a try and you will definitely not be disappointed. His fees are reasonable and expect a very high level of service. The USCIS is not easy to deal with and you need a good attorney BEFORE you find that you made a mistake.
