A True E2 Visa Specialist, a Truly Amazing Experience!

Thanks Bobby, preparing for my E2 visa was really a smooth process. I decided to contact him after consulting several other Immigration Lawyers. None of them seemed to know so precisely every E2 visa steps. He told me how things would work from the very beginning. He gave me confidence as he explaine...d clearly and firmly each one of the E2 visa requirements. When I had the interview at the Embassy, the consular officer did not ask me anything regarding the paperwork. Bobby checked very carefully all the material I sent him, gave me good advice and very clear directions regarding the way I should present the information. He only filed my case when he was sure nothing was missing. For all the above, I highly recommend Bobby C. Chung. I’ll definitely work with him in the future again!

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!

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.

Amazing attorney

I have worked with Bobby several times for my E2 visa and E2 visa renewal. I'm amazed by his knowledge and professional skills. He made the process easy and simple, and I felt very comfortable during the whole process. Through the years I recommended Bobby to my friends, and they have all been very s...atisfied. He made my American Dream come true!
