Highly recommended with K1 form Viet Nam

We first hired John in 2017 to help us along our immigration journey. At the time, I lived in the US and my then girlfriend lived in Viet Nam. She'd already been denied 2 student visas to the US. Now, I handle multi-million dollar construction projects. I can read and understand legal documents. I al...so understand when it is time to hire a subject matter expert. With a fiance visa, emotions are running high, people don't always think straight. When it comes to immigration there are hundreds of rumors. My wife came from Viet Nam. We couldn't get lunch at a restaurant in Viet Nam without someone sharing some story about someone they knew who had failed at an interview because of some random, often nonsensical reason. You would think we were embarking on some kind of mythical and outrageous hurculean quest. My wife even found some random person who had her believing that she would need a document that she couldn't get, didn't apply to our case, and could have even caused trouble for us. John cut through the noise and rumors and guided us down the right path for immigration. He told us what was real and what was rumor. He helped us prepare exactly the correct documents and evidence. He preped us for our various interviews. He even guided us through fixing some errors that the US government made in our case. I also moved twice during the process and changed companies 3 times. John helped handle the paperwork associated with that. I absolutely recommend John. We followed John's guidance through all the immigration noise and relied on his expertise. The result speaks for itself. My wife is here now. We have been able to start a wonderful life here in the US and I thank John for that. We plan to have John help us all the way through naturalization!

Great Immigration Attorney

John Ting helped us through the entire process to get my Wife’s permanent residency. He was always attentive, and was easily available for questions. He was able to make sure we had all the proper paperwork, and documents to make the process smooth. He even personally helped us with a few things dur...ing the process that he did not have to do. Thank you John!

Best Genuinely Caring Attorney

I was conflicted about reaching out for assistance on my case for removing conditions from my residency in the US, it seemed complicated to understand the entire process BUT John was the one who was patient and thoroughly explained for my understanding. The onboarding and gathering of materials was s...imple and efficient through utilizing technology for quick and best service. It was the greatest decision to hire John and the team due to their friendly customer service, prompt response time, attention to detail, great organization skills, and overall genuine concern. My case was successful and I was approved to remove conditions from my residency which will allow me the freedom from fear of deportation to remain with my loved ones in the United States. My family and I will be working with John on future immigration needs such as my citizenship and family petitions. Thank you for working hard on our case John, we appreciate you and the team!

"When it comes to legal issues, the first thing a person should do is hire a lawyer. However, it's not enough to just hire a lawyer, you must hire the "right" lawyer. . Too often people mistakenly just hire a lawyer, or a friend that happens to be a lawyer. When hiring a lawyer, you MUST hire a lawyer that focuses on your legal issue. I recommend Mr. Ting to anyone needing an immigration lawyer. Mr. Ting is very detail orientated, knowledgeable, and meticulous. I have consultated with Mr. Ting for immigration issues for several my clients. I would recommend Mr. Ting to any clients or friends because Mr. Ting is the "right" lawyer."

He demonstrated a strong work ethic, excellent legal acumen and instincts, and interpersonal skills (a rarity among attorneys). It's no surprise that he's become a successful practitioner and entrepreneur. I strongly endorse John."
