Could Not Have Asked for a Better Counsel

When my N-400 (application for U.S. citizenship) initially returned a denial decision, my family and I were devastated. A few friends of mine recommended Yi Kang (Jeff), and one of them connected the two of us. After telling him our story and hearing what he had to say, my family hired him to represe...nt me. Throughout the process, Jeff was incredibly helpful. Having read through the decision notification, he immediately developed a strategy to build the best case possible for me, telling us what information and materials we needed and how we should acquire everything for the N-336 (Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization). He wrote the legal brief, reviewed our evidence, and submitted the appeal. What I appreciated most about Jeff was his honesty. Whenever we asked him for his opinion on materials for the N-336, he would tell us whether the evidence was sufficient or not. He told us how he felt about our chances throughout, depending on the progress we made. Shortly after we submitted the N-336, he told us he was not worried about our case at all. It was a stressful period for me and my family, but once he said those words, I was able to relax. Jeff told us that we probably would not hear back for 1-3 months, so imagine our surprise when we got a hearing notification not even 3 weeks after we submitted. My family and I took this to mean that the evidence was so strong that USCIS wanted to close the case as soon as possible. When I shared this sentiment with Jeff, he agreed, again saying that he was very confident in our case. In the days leading up to the hearing, he informed me what it would entail, what I needed to bring, and what I needed to prepare for. On the day of the hearing, I was nervous, but Jeff was calm and assured me that our prospects were very promising, saying that he would be shocked if I was to be denied again. The hearing went very well. Thanks to Jeff's coaching and preparation, I was able to answer the questions the agent had for me with ease. At the end, the agent told us that he accepted our evidence and that an official decision would be made soon. Days later, I was informed that our appeal was successful. As I write this, I am looking forward to my naturalization oath ceremony in the coming weeks. Hiring Jeff as my counsel is one of the best decisions I ever made. If you are in need of an immigration lawyer, there is no one I recommend more than him. I can attest that he builds the best case possible for his clients and fights for them all the way to achieve the best possible outcome.

Thank you Jun, your words really re-fueled me. I'm glad you came to me to fix this considerable issue before anything horrible happened to you and your entire family, i.e. deportation. I completely understood what you were going through, and I tried my best to answer your questions via email or text ASAP to relieve you of your concerns. As I assured you in the beginning, this was a completely winnable case, but only if we acted early, so I applaud you for being level-headed and making the right decision to fight this. Congratulations on your becoming a citizen! You can finally vote (hopefully not for Trump).

Professional immigration lawyer with a kind heart

Yi Kang “Jeff” Shyr is an intelligent and professional lawyer with integrity. After being rejected by several attorneys, I met him and had an 1-hr free consultation discussing the best strategy to be eligible for my visa. He is also very hardworking and dedicated to his mission, replying my emai...ls after office hours just to make sure that my case can be progressed in an efficient manner. Fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese, he made sure that my circumstances are fully understood, making me feel supported as an international student who is still experiencing the hardship of living in a foreign country alone not so confident in her communication skills in English and knowledge for laws of the US. I highly recommend him to be your immigration lawyer.

Thank you Hsin. Your case was difficult simply because I did not have much control over the outcome of this case, which is not common. As a fellow immigrant from Taiwan, I can understand and relate to your struggles. I made a vow to fight tooth-and-nail for my clients, and I don't plan on giving that up, even in cases like yours where it seemed hopeless. Thank you for placing your trust in me.

compassionate person

Jeff (Mr Shyr) is a fantastic attorney with a huge heart. He is a compassionate person at her core, and his legal skills are unmatched by the competition. From the moment I met him i felt better right the way he was responsive to my questions and concerns. He was never too busy for me. He absolutely... goes the distance for clients and I would highly recommend him. There is no one could be better.
