Extraordinary service

First of all, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for his excellent service in preparing my family’s application for E2 visa. After meeting in person with 3 attorneys, I decided to work with Bobby because of his deep knowledge of the process and experience. Within 3.5 months I got pr...ofessionally prepared and an excellent organized package for my interview. My interview with consul was very smooth that the package contains everything for the E2 visa requirement, nothing to request more. After reviewing my document our application has been successfully approved and we got our visa after 2 days. It has been more than just legal services, but he and his staff have given a lot of care and passion besides excellent professionalism and thoroughness in everything starting from document preparation through to interview rehearsals. I would be pleased to seek his services in the future, should there be any need and highly recommend his firm to anyone no matter how tough is the outcome. Thank you again for your help, Bobby.

Spouse Immigration Visa

As all have mentioned, Bobby and his team are fantastic and great at what they do. This time around, Bobby and his team did not focus on their usual E-2 Investor Visa & EB-5 Investment Green Card case but a Immigrant Visa for a Spouse of a U.S. Citizen (CR1). I really appreciate that Bobby and his te...am went out of their way for my wife and I. They are very knowledgeable about the immigration process, patient and most importantly are sincere and really want to help us, the client, to succeed in their case. They were with us from the beginning to the end of the process(she did get a visa approval after her interview with the consular). My wife and I are the overthinking worry type of people and always have thoughts and questions in our mind. Since the beginning of the process, we have bombarded Bobby and his team with questions and our worries to the end of the process and they answer our questions and worries in a sincerely and timely manner that made my wife and I feel very optimistic in our case. If anyone is looking for an immigration lawyer, attorney Bobby Cheng-Yu Chung is that attorney. Again Bobby, I cannot thank you and your team enough for what your office have done for my wife and I.

Amazing, caring and knowledgeable!! Highly recommend!!

Bobby and his whole team (Stephanie, Julie and Randy) were incredibly helpful and detail oriented when going over my case and helping me prepare every step of the way during my E-2 visa application!! I greatly appreciated the fact that he really deeply cares about his clients and made sure that I wa...s supported over the many months of my application. His suggestions and input were knowledgeable and always correct and resulted in an approved E-2! I am very grateful to him and especially appreciate that his office provided a flat rate that was manageable and reasonable for the huge amount of work that they did!! Thank you Bobby!!

E2 Visa Approved - from the Netherlands

We just got our E2 visa approved a couple of weeks ago, and what a huge relief. This is all thanks to Bobby and his team who helped us in the most professional and personal way possible. We could not have get this done without Bobby en cannot imagine a better attorney than him. He was always there w...hen we needed him the most. Communication was clear and direct and we were always able to get an appointment with Bobby very quickly. And this is crucial when working with an immigration attorney. A few words that come to mind: Professional, personally involved, very experienced, very nice to talk to, and last but not least, simply a GREAT person!!! We will certainly keep working with him in the future and for the renewal in 5 years.

Our E2 Visa was approved! Bobby, the right choice!

My husband and I are very lucky to have met Bobby and his team. It's no easy to find the right immigration attorney. We spoke with many attorneys before him but at our initial meeting with Bobby we realized that he was the right decision. Bobby explained the E2 Visa process step by step and followi...ng his instructions will lead you to the success. The staff it's very professional and friendly. They answered all our concerns via phone or email without any additional fees. Before the interview Bobby prepares you to all the possibles scenarios you can incur. Other than his professional approach he is very friendly and really cares about you and your case. Our E2 Visa was approved for 5 years thanks to the excellent material preparation. We would recommend him to assist you through your immigration case. We will use his services again in the future. Thanks to Bobby and his wonderful team!
