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.

Thorough and Responsive!

We enjoyed our interaction with Mr. Chung. He is well versed in the requirements for the submission of a successful E-2 visa application. From our initial meeting with him, he guided us very competently through the process. His instructions were always very thorough, helpful and unambiguous. He was ...responsive and made himself available to answer any questions we had during the process. We were well prepared for the submission of our application and our interview with the U.S. Consulate. The E-2 application package that Mr. Chung prepared, with our input, was very professional and met all of the E-2 criteria. We would highly recommend Mr. Chung for anyone seeking to apply for an E-2 investor visa.

Highly Recommended!!

After consulting with 3 immigration attorneys, we chose Bobby. His knowledge and experience specifically with E2 Visas was far superior and he left us feeling confident in his ability to guide us thru the complexities of immigration. Throughout the process, Bobby gave detailed step by step instructio...n. He was very responsive to emails and phone calls and never failed to provide direct responses to our countless questions. Prior to interviewing at the US Embassy in Copenhagen, Bobby thoroughly prepared me on the type of questions to expect. I am confident that I would not have had this same experience with the other attorneys which we had initially consulted. Bobby is extremely knowledgable in immigration law and I highly recommend him. I look forward to working with him when it is time to renew my visa!

Helping Making Dreams come True

Bobby was recommend to me by a very good friend , My dream for a long time was to work and live in the US. Bobby helped me 4 months ago with my E2 visa application. With his assistance more than half the battle was won. The documents were so well prepared by Bobby even the Embassy said the same thi...ng and I'm sure they see a lot of applications. I always received a prompt reply from Bobby he was there for me the whole way. I can't thank him enough for helping me make my dream come true. You are in very good hands with Bobby ,I have recommend Bobby to my friends. Thanks again Bobby.

Excellent lawyer

Bobby has been of immense help to me with my E2 visa. I have used his services 3 times for obtaining and renewing my E2 and have had my visa approved without any problems. He is professional, courteous and very thorough. In my opinion Bobby gave very generously of his time and was quick with his res...ponses to my questions. I feel that he prepared me well for my visa interview and always explained things to me in a way that I could understand. I am extremely satisfied with the whole visa process under Bobby's guidance and feel that he offers the true spirit of service to the customer. I have no hesitation in recommending Bobby as a lawyer as well as as an upright, trustworthy person.

He is consistently a pleasure to work with and our mutual clients feel the same way. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and easy-going.
