Successful E-2 Visa

Mr. Chung was the real reason for us to get our E-2 Visa. Mr. Chung assumed our case during our application process, where we were struggling and facing hard times. He not only advised us, guided us, and prepared us for the interview, but also gave us confidence enough to face this hard process. I st...rongly advice Mr. Chung`s office to all E-2 Visa applicants. His knowledge and strength as an immigration attorney is definitely the path for success. Thank you Mr. Chung!

If you're looking for an E2-visa lawyer, you should hire Bobby!

The E2 visa can be quite complicated and requires a lot of specific and detailed paperwork. You definitely need a trustworthy, thorough and diligent lawyer in order to bring the journey to a successful end. My experience working with Bobby his office was overall very smooth, logical and transparent. ...Bobby and his team provided me clear, concise and detailed information about every step I had to complete in order to deliver a strong E2 visa application. In a matter of 6 months, we were able to get my visa approved for the maximum period of 5 years. To summarize, I was in touch with a handful of lawyer offices, whereas Bobby his office gave me the best price/quality quote, and surpassed my expectations. I would refer and recommend anybody to work with his office to make the E2 visa process a straightforward process.

I was sure my E-2 Visa would be approved

When Bobby was appointed to me, I had interviewed three lawyers and thought I had good options in my hands. But in the first conversation with Bobby I noticed that he is differentiated and much more prepared. Today I'm sure I would have risked with any other option. The visa E-2 visa requires organiz...ation and Bobby and his team are very organized and know exactly how to prepare a good process that will be well evaluated by immigration officers. Throughout the process I felt very safe and confident. Thanks you Bobby!

I would highly recommend Bobby's service for those who want to apply for the Investor Visas in the States

I just got my E2 investor visa, yeah! Attorney Chung and his team are very professional: 1. They are respectful, patient and polite. 2. Attorney Chung's instructions are very clear, he would tell you what you should and should not do. The laws are very strict so you have to be extremely careful..., you don't want to spend your investment expenditure and then be told that these items do not qualify for the visa. Attorney Chung's guidelines clearly stated what exactly you should pay attention to when you spend the money, for instance, all vouchers and receipts should bear the last 4 digits of your company's credit card number. You do need a professional attorney to give detailed instructions like these. 3. Attorney Chung responded to my email quickly. Although Attorney Chung and his the team are busy, they would reply my emails quickly. Their prompt response and clear explanations made the process less stressful. 4. They are very organised. The E2 investor application is very document extensive; the team made my company's complicated financial figures and tedious paperwork into some very neat and easy-to-read packages, I highly appreciate their work. 5. They are fast. My case was urgent and I need to get my visa within 3-4 months. Attorney Chung was very understanding; the team prioritised my case, reviewed all the paperwork and submitted the documents to the Consulate in less than 2 weeks. I got an interview soon after the submission. Despite the fact that they were working under pressure and time limit, they delivered highly professional work. 6. Attorney Chung spent 1 hour on a video conference with me before my interview. He told me what would possibly happen once I stepped on the door of the Consulate, all the possible questions that I would be asked, and got me psychologically prepared for all the unexpected outcomes and confrontations. I was very grateful for his time, he really uses his heart and passion to serve his clients. I strongly recommend anyone who wants to get an investor visa contact Attorney Chung!

Nothing Less than Truly Professional Services

I selected Bobby after talking to several other immigration attorneys, and like every single one of his clients, I too am so thoroughly delighted that I did. He and his team were always professional, knowledgeable and most importantly - rigorously prompt. Bobby always responded to my email queries w...ithin 24 hours. After several years of dealing with lawyers in my professional life, I never thought I could use these sort of words to describe the quality of services we generally get from the legal profession. But I can do with Bobby - unreservedly. Additionally, Bobby's fees were very reasonable and he delivered everything that he promised. We successfully obtained our E2 visa in London on June 15, 2017, (immediately after our interview), and are extremely grateful to Bobby for preparing us so very thoroughly for all aspects of the interview process. Like many others, we will unquestionably contact him again when it is renewal time, and will wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone beginning the quite challenging E2 visa process. Once again - thank you Bobby!
