E2 Visa approved

We would highly recommend using Mr. Bobby Chung for your immigration requirements. Right from the beginning we found Mr. Chung and his team to be very diligent in the way they operate. After our initial consultation call we were confident that we had hired an attorney who was incredibly knowledgeable... and clearly had a great track record of success, Mr. Chung provides his clients with a step by step guide tailored to your specific situation, he provides a clear roadmap of the process and offers sound advice that maximizes your chances of getting approval. One major highlight is that Mr. Chung and his team are very responsive by email and phone; they’re always willing to find time to answer your questions. Thank you Mr. Chung and the team!

Successful 5yr E2 Visa

We are so very thankful for immigration attorney Bobby C. Chung’s help in obtaining my successful E2 Treaty Investor Visa approval in September 2020! Our experience with attorney Chung’s office was brilliantly positive right from the start. Bobby’s very knowledgable executive assistant Stephanie thor...oughly prepared us for our initial phone consultation - and from here attorney Chung provided us with professional, knowledgable and articulate advice. His candid questions and suggestions allowed us to select what to highlight in our application and how to present a huge amount of information in a concise and yet comprehensive way. Bobby is also just a wonderful person to work with and made us feel like we had a clear path for both our application and interview, and left us feeling prepared and calm during what could be a very stressful process! Attorney Chung’s office responded immediately to any of our questions and allowed us to continue to move forward with our application during the challenges of 2020. We look forward to working with attorney Chung’s office on any other immigration matters in the future! Thank you so much Bobby and Stephanie!!!

E2 VISA - 4 years

Since Day one of contacting him , I felt assured I am dealing with a professional and a highly knowledgeable person. Attorney Chung , walked me through the process patiently and was always available to answer my questions. His approach was efficient and with precision .Calm and patient he was even ...under the difficult and unprecedented pandemic times. We followed every instruction of his, and extremely happy to note our successful 4 year E2 visa. Highly recommend his services and all his office staff and para legals are a pleasure to work with. Moving forward I would be using Attorney Chung's office on other immigration matters. Thank you and our congratulations to the attorney's office for a job very well done .

Wonderful Person and Attorney

Absolutely brilliant service, from start to finish. In general, Bobby provided a service that went well beyond expectations. Since our first in-person conversation, Bobby was candid about any potential issues and was willing to talk about details, rather than avoid them. Bobby helped us through a ver...y difficult period by providing good legal advice. He took the time to fully understand our situation and was always available to answer questions or provide comments. Our E-2 visa process was long and difficult, and Bobby was always very patient with us in the many questions we had over time, especially in our indecision to buy a ready-made company or bring our industry from another country to the United States. and start as a new company. Bobby always responded to all emails very clearly and never saved words and time to detail everything we needed to know at that time. Only an immigration lawyer like Bobby, his Paralegal Julie and all his competent and effective team would be able to guide us through the documentary step by step of the entire E-2 visa process so that everything was perfect, and as a result of all his work without doubt could not be better with my visa and my husband's approved for 5 years without the need for new documents. Bobby, it was a pleasure to meet you and I recommend you as the best immigration lawyer in the United States. Thank you!

E-2 Visa Application

I would like to thank Attorney Bobby Chung for his excellent consultation and assistance with my E-2 visa application. I applied with the assistance of another attorney from Brooklyn, NY and received Request for Evidence as my application was very poor. Due to the pandemic, I had just few video-calls... with Attorney Chung and was able to clearly understand and prepare all the necessary documents myself to respond to every question in the Request for Evidence. His knowledge, experience, clear understanding of the requirements and systematic approach in explanation of the requirements were way higher than of the attorney who helped me to apply at the beginning. If I hired or had an attorney to have assistance of, I would only recommend Attorney Chung because of his excellent understanding and ability to explain every step of the application.
