E-2 approved, Excellent professional service

I just received my E-2 visa approval. Thanks to Attorney Bobby Chung. Before I hired Bobby I consulted with 4 other lawyers whom did not answer all my questions and told me they have to get back to me. Bobby answered all my questions from the first interview and I felt he is very knowledgeable on t...he E-2 visa. From the start he gave me detailed clear instructions on how to buy an existing franchise business. Bobby and his team guided me and walked me through the whole process, he answered my questions and concerns in details and on time. Our Change of status from B2 into E-2 was approved without any problems and it took much less time than the average processing time. I am very thankful to Bobby for making our dreams come true, and thank you Randi as well for the commitment to our case. I would recommend the law office of Bobby Chung for anyone seeking professional committed service for the E-2 visa, and I will definitely use his services to renew my visa.

Exceptional Service / 100% Success for an E2 Visa

I utilized the services of Mr Bobby Chung for an E2 Visa application from the UK. From the moment I made contact he was simply brilliant. Bobby possesses an unrivalled knowledge of the sector and this was demonstrated in the thorough instructions as well as attentive service provided. I was successfu...l in obtaining a 5 year E2 visa with no problems thanks to the help and assistance of Bobby and his team.

E2 Visa London

Just completed my E-2 visa application with Bobby in London. The firm came highly recommended and my expectations were surpassed.

Near-perfect E-2 immigration lawyer

We've worked with numerous immigration lawyers (and other types of lawyers) over the past several years, and Bobby Chung is hands-down the best of any lawyer I have ever worked with. He is extremely organized. He gives very detailed, clear, easy-to-follow instructions. He's responsive. He's a plea...sure to work with. Seems like a really good person. Bobby is strict, leaving nothing to chance. Having gone through an E-2 application before that was eventually denied because of a stupid immigration lawyer that didn't know what he was doing, working with Bobby was such a relief. I'd much rather have strict and a successful outcome than laissez-faire and a costly failure. It's just been a complete no-nonsense straight-forward process that landed us the desired E-2 visa in the first shot. And the fact that he's worked on the immigration side previously means he knows what he's talking about. I will definitely use Bobby for my renewal in a couple of years, and in the meantime I will recommend Bobby in the most unequivocal terms to anyone looking for the most direct secure path to obtaining an E-2 visa.

A fantastically organized and extremely knowledgeable E2 attorney

From the first time I spoke with Bobby through to the end of the process I have always been impressed with how knowledgeable he has been and how attentive to my needs. Each E2 visa application is always going to be unique and Bobby took the time to understand my proposal and advise appropriately. He ...made me feel that I was in safe hands and that if I took his advice it would all go smoothly which it did. From the outset the E2 process seems very complex but Bobby makes it so straight forward and knew exactly how to put the best case forward. I will be contacting him for my renewal. For anyone else I know that needed immigration advice he will certainly be getting the call. Thank you so much!

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