Our E2 Visa was approved! Bobby, the right choice!

My husband and I are very lucky to have met Bobby and his team. It's no easy to find the right immigration attorney. We spoke with many attorneys before him but at our initial meeting with Bobby we realized that he was the right decision. Bobby explained the E2 Visa process step by step and followi...ng his instructions will lead you to the success. The staff it's very professional and friendly. They answered all our concerns via phone or email without any additional fees. Before the interview Bobby prepares you to all the possibles scenarios you can incur. Other than his professional approach he is very friendly and really cares about you and your case. Our E2 Visa was approved for 5 years thanks to the excellent material preparation. We would recommend him to assist you through your immigration case. We will use his services again in the future. Thanks to Bobby and his wonderful team!

Professional, Knowledgeable, Excellent Services, E2 visa Approved

I am very pleased to write this review regarding my successful experience having Mr. Bobby Chang as attorney for filing my E2 case from Pakistan. I contacted Bobby with my case after an extensive online research and this decision turned out to be out to be one of the best decisions I made. Fr...om the very beginning he has been very patient and professional and explained me very clearly all the steps that I needed to take and what needs to be done for preparing and filing my E2 case. He was always available to answer my queries and treated me with a lot of respect. I came across many hurdles and complications in getting all the paper work done but with Bobby’s advice and help I faced every challenge confidently. Bobby himself took my case as a challenge and put a lot of effort into it. I would highly recommend Bobby to anyone who is looking for an E2 visa. I believe he is one of the top E2 lawyers in the USA. I am making this recommendation not only because he won my case but also because of his professionalism, patience, his understanding of the situation, knowledge of E2 visa and above all the respect for his clients.

My E-2 Visa application – Success

I hired Bobby, to prepare my E2 Visa application. Right from thestart Bobby, provided me with detailed, step by step instructions for the visapreparation process. In my case, being a little bit unusual, it involvedthousands of pages of documents going back many years. I was amazed at thelevel of deta...ils that Bobby and his team studied and examined my documents.Based on some of the questions, they must have read (and understood) every wordon every page of the documents that I sent them. The result was a very shortinterview, as the visa officer already had all the information she needed, inthe correct format, available to her. My visa was approved for the maximumallowable period of 5 years. I found the team, especially Julie, Randi & Stephanie, veryknowledgeable and supportive. Whenever I had any questions (and I did havemany), they always responded with lightning speed, sometimes even duringweekends. I highly recommend Bobby and will certainly use his services inthe future.

Our E-2 got approved!

We are so lucky to have Bobby to be our E-2 visa lawyer, not only he is very knowledgeable, confident, with great experience in handling E-2, he also gives clear advice, which is very important to laymen like us who is not familiar with legal process and paperwork. More importantly, he is very organ...ized in terms of material preparation and communication to us, which makes us comfortable with trust throughout the process. We especially appreciate the time he spent with us to prepare us right before the interview date with great patience to sooth our nervous minds. We sincerely and highly recommend Bobby to everyone who is struggling with E-2 application. Your application will be in a good hand with Bobby!

Thorough, friendly, dedicated, knowledgeable and clear

We met other immigration attorneys before we met Bobby. Bobby was a breath of fresh air. He spoke normal english and not legalese. We understood him. He was sensitive to our timing issues, and was always able to see the most efficient ways of addressing the requirements. There was not a question he ...could not answer. Really grateful for the final meeting prior to the interviews. Bobby explained well what we needed to do. We were successful with the E2 visa. Feeling really grateful for that. Bobby was is just the right attorney. Bobby's legal team is thorough, responsive, friendly and patient. I just want to thank the whole legal team of Attorney Chung.
