E2 and then green card

I can't begin to tell how awesome it was working with Bobby. He helped me with E2 visa and then was also responsible to get green card. Him and his staff went above and beyond to take care of application process. He was always available to chat and answer any questions. It was a long journey and hug...e amount of paper work. I couldn't have done it without Bobby! I'll recommend him to everyone who is looking for someone who is honest, knowledgable and caring!

e2 Visa - Six star service

After the speaking and consulting with number of immigration lawyers we decided on Bobby Chung. His staff went above and beyond their jobs. Every single question we asked was answered nothing was to hard. Bobby and his staff are not your typical lawyers - they really care. They give you the informati...on you need and never leave you in the dark. Bobby and his staff delivered beyond exceptions and the fee structure was extremely reasonable. Best of all we have a E2 visa now. We wish we could give Bobby and his staff six stars. Thank you !

E2 Visa

We just got our E2 visa approved a month before, . Thanks to Mr Bobby and his team who helped us in the most professional and personal way possible. He is very experienced and straightforward. When I signed up for his services he gave me clear instructions on what documents are needed for visa r...equirements. Although it was a lot of documents Bobby's clear guidance really helped me to get the right documents... thank you Bobby and Team

We got our E2 Visa!

We recently successful obtained our E2 visa in Toronto and it made us the only lucky couple out of 6 at that day. We are excited and extremely grateful to Bobby and his great team for their very professional support during the whole process. I would highly recommended Bobby Chung to anyone who need ...a E2 visa in the US. Bobby and his professional staff are very knowledgeable and dedicated, prompt and polite, and their service charge is also reasonable. We will certainly keep working with Bobby for our E2 visa renewal in 5 years.

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!

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