E2 Approval

I found Bobby and his team online surfing for credible E2 lawyers and his name was in the mix of experts in this field. Since the E2 can be a challenge Bobby has assisted me since day 1. He and his team were always available and answered all my questions. Bobby cares about details and after submitt...ing my file just a few months later the interview took about ten minutes. Bobby his experience was very important since he prepared me for some questions that were to be taken serious. If you are taking or starting your business to the US, and want to rely on a great team of E2 experts, I would recommend Bobby for certain. Thank your for a great prep of my case and approval in just a few months. My case was presented to the Belgian embassy.

Successful E2 thanks to Mr. Chung and his team!

Being our first time going through the E2 process we didn’t know what to expect or how much preparation would be involved but the day of our interview proved to us that Bobby and his team had made sure we were far more prepared then anyone else that day. We heard multiple people ahead of us not get t...heir Visa’s so when we were called it was very stressful. Within a minute of talking to the officer we knew we had made the right choice with Bobby Chung and his team, the officer asked us three questions about the company then said “your Visas are approved”. The people before us were getting drilled with questions and we had just three (that were confirmations of details more then even questions). There is really only one good explanation for this; The package that was submitted by Mr. Chung was put together so well that there were no doubts or concerns that needed to be addressed. Bobby Chung and his team did a great job, from start to finish - he’s very professional and certainly knows how to navigate this process. He’s also a tremendously nice guy to talk with. I would recommend his team to anyone wanting an E2 Visa (we already have recommended him multiple times)!

If you're looking for an E2-visa lawyer, you should hire Bobby!

The E2 visa can be quite complicated and requires a lot of specific and detailed paperwork. You definitely need a trustworthy, thorough and diligent lawyer in order to bring the journey to a successful end. My experience working with Bobby his office was overall very smooth, logical and transparent. ...Bobby and his team provided me clear, concise and detailed information about every step I had to complete in order to deliver a strong E2 visa application. In a matter of 6 months, we were able to get my visa approved for the maximum period of 5 years. To summarize, I was in touch with a handful of lawyer offices, whereas Bobby his office gave me the best price/quality quote, and surpassed my expectations. I would refer and recommend anybody to work with his office to make the E2 visa process a straightforward process.

E2 Visa Approved - from the Netherlands

We just got our E2 visa approved a couple of weeks ago, and what a huge relief. This is all thanks to Bobby and his team who helped us in the most professional and personal way possible. We could not have get this done without Bobby en cannot imagine a better attorney than him. He was always there w...hen we needed him the most. Communication was clear and direct and we were always able to get an appointment with Bobby very quickly. And this is crucial when working with an immigration attorney. A few words that come to mind: Professional, personally involved, very experienced, very nice to talk to, and last but not least, simply a GREAT person!!! We will certainly keep working with him in the future and for the renewal in 5 years.

E2 Visa from Toronto Canada

I recently had the pleasure of working with 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 required to fulfill the tedious visa requirements. Although it was a lot of documents Bobby's clear ...guidance really helped me to get the right documents for the visa. 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. Due to his knowledge and 100% commitment to the client I was able to quickly submit my application. 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 I would without a doubt recommend Bobby Chung to anybody in fact I already referred two of my friends to Bobby.
