E2 Visa

Bobby and his team helped us on getting our E2 visa and everything happened like he predicted. He knows the process and prepared a solid case to issue the visa process to be smooth and easy for us.

Successful E2 Visa Case and Approval

Attorney Chung and his team are one of the most professional people I have had the pleasure of working with. My brother and I (Mexican citizens) applied for the E2 Visa as business partners with a total investment of $100,000. The process from start to package submittal took us approximately 3 months.... The immigration review process from package submittal to final interview took roughly 45 days. The whole process took roughly 4 months. Throughout the process, Bobby and his team demonstrated hard work, attention to detail, professionalism, and customer service, and achieved 100% customer satisfaction. We did not have a single major issue throughout the process and everything went smoothly. Attorney Chung's expertise is second to none; he will give you all the information and tools you need to prepare a strong case and significantly increase your chances of success. We were extremely specific with our questions and I can guarantee you there is not a single question you can ask Bobby that he will not be able to answer. We are glad we chose him as our immigration attorney and will do so again in the future without hesitation.

The best immigration attorney we could have asked for

We worked with attorney Ching for our immigration case and had to change our status a few times until residency was granted. This experience happened to be at very uncertain times and at a time where the laws were constantly changing and everything was put on hold. Emotionally it was difficult time...s for us, and Bobby and his team made these 3 years of immigration process as smooth, wonderful and perfect as it could get. They were prompt with answers and emails, always ready and present when we needed them. Alway clear with responses and giving us clarification for what what we did not understand. Our process went fully and perfectly well and we received the permanent green card with no problems at all. Even though everything was perfectly moving forward, whenever we were unclear, we got reconfirmation over and over again from the team. If you are looking for an attorney who is looking for a positive impact, who is takin ownership of your case, who is as concerned if not more than yourself, an attorney who will be responsive and always present for your needs and questions, an attorney who will always go the extra mile and take the extra steps to make sure not only your case is successful but also throughout the process your mentally and emotionally at peace, then this is the right team for you. I would recommend this team to anyone who is looking for integrity and success. Thank you attorney Chung and the team for the wonderful experience, looking forward to working with you in the future again,

E2 VISA

I am absolutely thrilled to have approval for a 4 year E2 Visa. This would not have been possible without the hard work and support from Bobby and his team.I was on the low end, (under $100,000) but Bobby worked very hard to help me submit a strong case for approval! Bobby and his team were always pa...tient, professional and extremely supportive through the whole process from beginning to end. Thank you once again Bobby!

E2 Visa from Toronto Canada 5.0 stars Posted by Kamal, Alka, Bhavya & Naman June 05, 2018

What a lucky day for our whole family in US Consulate Toronto when we got a 5 yrs E2 Visa, and I felt the day lucky when I met and hired Bobby Chung for my E2 Visa. He is very experienced and straightforward. When I signed up for his services he gave me clear instructions on what documents is require...d to fulfill the tedious visa requirements. If something was not available he always gave advice on how to fulfill the requirement an alternate way. I was in a rush to apply for the visa due to some business running issues and he always prioritized my case and helped me apply for the visa in an expedited manner. He is very professional and courteous and extremely knowledgeable. He also helped me and my wife with the visa interview and that gave us extra confidence to face the interview. I finally got my E2 visa for 5 years and I cannot thank Bobby enough on his hard work on my case. Thank you once again Bobby and his entire team, I would without a doubt recommend Bobby Chung to anybody for E2 Visa. My next step is to apply for EB 5 Visa to get green card and I'll be sure to keep the same attorney Bobby Chung for EB 5 and as well as my E2 renewals.
