Received my E2 Visa!

So thankful for the amazing work of Bobby and his team. Me and my business partner first heard about E2 Visa last year during the pandemic and we initially thought that the process is going to be long and tedious and we weren’t even sure if it’s all going to work out. Upon our first call with Bobby, ...we knew immediately that he would be the perfect partner to help us guide through everything so we decided to hire him around April 2021. Throughout the year, Bobby has given us thorough guides and detailed instructions to make sure that we do everything correctly and not leave any gaps that may cause visa denial. Fast forward to January 2022, interview day was super easy and the visa was granted in just a few days. We still can’t believe that we finally got it and it wouldn’t be possible without the help of Bobby and his team. Will definitely work with him again when it comes to renewing the visa!!!! If you’re looking to hire a lawyer to get an E2 visa, look no more!!!!

Bobby and his team are FANTASTIC!

We met with Bobby in January of 2021. During our initial consultation Bobby was candid and open about the possibility of obtaining our E-2 Visa. He was professional and put us at ease right away. The information that was provided by Bobby and his staff (specially Lotte Aarsman) was fantastic and af...ter a few months we were ready to proceed. Once our application was processed and we were selected for an interview, we had another meeting with Bobby about what to expect and what questions the consulate may ask. Fortunately for us our interview went well and we received our five year E-2 Visas, in less than 10 months of our first meeting, all while navigating through the COVID restricitions and protocols. We were so impressed with Bobby and his team that we are now using his services to apply for my spouse's EAD. I have also recommended Bobby to friends of mine to use his services. If you want to get the straight talk and work with professionals, Bobby and his team are the way to go!

Patient, Detailed, Extremely Caring for Clients, and Capable

Mr Chung was helping me with my application and he takes his time to explain details to me, and worked out all the complicated programs, and emailed me legal notes and law items preparing me for the visa interview. I am so grateful i hired him. He is the best and worthy of trust.

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!!!

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