Fantastic!

Attorney Chung did a fantastic job, first helping me review businesses for E2 Visa suitability, the eventually filing the K1 Visa, through the adjustment of status to a green card. He and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable and responsive, and I have no hesitation in recommending him. We will cert...ainly be using him for all our future immigration needs.

Thank You!

Bobby C Chung was very knowledgeable and knows his stuff, always responsive and guided us the correct way and we got our E2 Visa on a 5 year basis. His team was also excellent and I would recommend Bobby and his firm to anyone who is looking to obtain a E2 Visa.

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.

Excellent Customer Service and Results

A friend of mine recommended to use Attorney Chung for the E2 application process. She had not even used him but just from a telephone conversation she had with him and from viewing his website, she was able to determine that this lawyer was professional, full of integrity and had the results to pro...ve it. She could have never been more correct. My whole experience dealing with Attorney Chung and his law firm was a very pleasant one. it doesn't matter which staff member you spoke with, they all showed you respect and made you feel very valuable. They made you feel that the successful application for your visa was of paramount importance to them. All calls were either answered or returned and all emails responded to. They all showed a willingness to help and would make excellent suggestions whenever the need arose. My #1 word to describe them is attentive. I would, without hesitation, recommend Attorney Chung to anyone. He is awesome!

Nothing Less than Truly Professional Services

I selected Bobby after talking to several other immigration attorneys, and like every single one of his clients, I too am so thoroughly delighted that I did. He and his team were always professional, knowledgeable and most importantly - rigorously prompt. Bobby always responded to my email queries w...ithin 24 hours. After several years of dealing with lawyers in my professional life, I never thought I could use these sort of words to describe the quality of services we generally get from the legal profession. But I can do with Bobby - unreservedly. Additionally, Bobby's fees were very reasonable and he delivered everything that he promised. We successfully obtained our E2 visa in London on June 15, 2017, (immediately after our interview), and are extremely grateful to Bobby for preparing us so very thoroughly for all aspects of the interview process. Like many others, we will unquestionably contact him again when it is renewal time, and will wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone beginning the quite challenging E2 visa process. Once again - thank you Bobby!
