About Jared
Biography
At JCL Immigration Attorneys, PLLC, Jared Leung serves as managing attorney, combining his unique legal skills with genuine compassion to guide clients through the complexities of U.S. immigration. His passion for the field stems from helping individuals and families build new lives and secure brighter futures. Jared’s practice spans corporate and individual immigration matters: he assists employers with work visas, green cards, and compliance issues such as I-9 documentation, E-Verify, and ICE audits, designing streamlined systems to minimize risk and cost. He also represents investors in securing E-1, E-2, and EB-5 visas, alongside family-based and fiancée petitions for spouses and other relatives. Skilled in extraordinary ability, national interest waiver, and outstanding researcher filings, Jared offers tailored strategies for each client’s goals.

When not at work, Jared recharges by hiking scenic trails, experimenting with new recipes, and exploring cultures through travel.
