A fantastically organized and extremely knowledgeable E2 attorney

From the first time I spoke with Bobby through to the end of the process I have always been impressed with how knowledgeable he has been and how attentive to my needs. Each E2 visa application is always going to be unique and Bobby took the time to understand my proposal and advise appropriately. He ...made me feel that I was in safe hands and that if I took his advice it would all go smoothly which it did. From the outset the E2 process seems very complex but Bobby makes it so straight forward and knew exactly how to put the best case forward. I will be contacting him for my renewal. For anyone else I know that needed immigration advice he will certainly be getting the call. Thank you so much!

A great attentive service

Mr. Chung has successfully assisted us in filling a very strong case for our E-2 application. He and his team is always available for all the questions that we had and have provided invaluable answers that have helped us secure our E-2 visa. We plan to use Mr. Chung's service to reapply for the visa..., and we definitely recommend him to anyone who needs assistance in filing for the same visa.

Supportive and Professional

It was 2005, I started to look for an immigration lawyer for my H1B visa application and mainly by chance, I found Bobby. Bobby and his team have been thorough from the very beginning, guiding me through each step towards gaining my H1B approval. I found his integrity, professionalism and expertise t...o be exceptional. I continued to rely on Bobby in helping me for my PR process. Again, I made the right decision! Never did a question go unanswered and always with a timely and friendly response. Most importantly, it is always so nice to be able to express your concerns to an attorney and have things explained to you without being rushed or bombarded with terms you don't understand. His clear instructions and the way he could always reassure me and set my mind at ease made the experience completely stress free! I would like to thank Bobby and his team for all their directions, guidance and supports throughout this entire process. I highly recommend the Law offices of Bobby C Chung.

Great Attorney, Excellent Services – H1B, EB3

I started to work with Bobby since 2005 for my working visa as well as Green Card application. Bobby was very responsive, patient, knowledgeable, confident and helpful. He always responded back to my email/phone call the same day and always made himself available to answer any questions I had thr...oughout the whole process. He was very patient and helpful in answering my questions. He is a very knowledgeable attorney. He always provided me with all the alternatives and evaluated every single one together with me to find what suited me the best. His fee is fixed with no Hidden fees no matter how many times I sought his opinions and advices over the phone or via email. I highly recommend Bobby to anyone needing an immigration lawyer.

E-2 visa approved for a Leadership Coaching business

I am a very analytical person and have 20 years of international corporate business experience. I interviewed 4 immigration lawyers before hiring Bobby. What I like about Bobby and his business model is: - He is willing to invest time and share his knowledge during the selection process. You can ...recognize that he is very confident in what he knows as he does not hold anything back. - His website might not have all the bells and whistles but provided by far more detailed information that other website for my specific type of visa. - He spells out EXACTLY what is his value proposition and what you will get from him if you hire him. No one else that I interviewed did that. - He is very responsive, via phone or email he will get back to you within the same day or max 24 hrs. - He is willing to consider different venues to accommodate to your needs. - He and his team will do anything within their possibilities to work with your requirements. I had some time pressure and he and his team worked with me to finish within my time requirements; - He was very transparent and I like his integrity. He will tell you without hesitation if he believes something is not going to work or is outside of the legal system. - He provides you with any templates that might be needed for your business documentation. - He gives you a written contract and there are NO hidden fees. All is included, phone and email consultations, document preparation, until your case is presented and finished. My case was not common as it was an E-2 where I would start with only 1 employee, no inventory and very little equipment. It is proper to this type of business but Immigration officers are used to grant investor visas for larger investment where many employees and large investment is made to cover inventory and machinery. Bobby gave me confidence and help me build the business and business case to present with confidence to the Immigration officer. E-2 Visa was granted after 15 min of questions, all of which Bobby had prepared me for. I highly recommend Bobby to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.

"I have worked together with Bobby on many matters, with him handling the immigration side of things and me the business and corporate law. He is consistently a pleasure to work with and our mutual clients feel the same way. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and easy-going. He can communicate immigration law concepts in plain English (and apparently Mandarin and Cantonese, as well, not that I would understand!).
