Great E2 Lawyer

I can’t recommend this E2 visa team enough! They’ve been fantastic from start to finish, breaking everything down step-by-step and making the whole process way less overwhelming. They’re super organized and always quick to respond, which really helped me feel confident about the paperwork. It’s clear... they know exactly what they’re doing, and I’m so grateful for how easy they made a pretty complex process. If you’re going through an E2 visa application, this team is a lifesaver!

US E2 visa

I cannot thank Attorney Bobby Chung and his team enough for their exceptional service in helping me obtain my US E2 visa.the most crucial element of succeeding in this process is selecting the right attorney, and after extensive research, I am confident I made the best choice with Attorney Chung.I de...dicated two months to researching and finding the right attorney including 6 paid consultation sessions with different attorneys. From the beginning, Attorney Chung and his team stood out with their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to my case. Special thanks to my case manager, Lotte Aarsman , who worked tirelessly to help me submit my E2 visa application on a tight timetable. Alyona Kuznetsova coordinated appointments and ensured all my emails were answered in the shortest time possible. Stephanie Chiueh, the Operations Manager, went out of her way to talk to me in person for an entire hour when I was completely stressed out, helping me make informed decisions during my lowest moments. Thanks to Attorney Chung and his incredible team, I now hold an E2 visa, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their outstanding services. If you are seeking a knowledgeable and reliable attorney for your E2 visa application, I highly recommend Mr. Bobby Chung and his team. They truly made all the difference. Congratulations to Attorney Chung on leading the most professional team I have ever had the pleasure with working with.

The Right Attorney & Team for E-2 Visa

• I strongly recommend Attorney Bobby C. Chung. Our family faced the most challenges in our business on October 16, 2021. The second-floor apartment above our restaurant had a fire incident and our restaurant was damaged by fire water and smoke. We need to find a new place to resume back to busi...ness as soon as possible. Attorney Chung had set up the teleconference 1 week after the incident to provide all necessary law, regulation, and requirement of new acquirement of the new places. We worked in 2 new places, but all these places did not work out. So, we returned to our original places. Finally, we spent almost 2 years to resume back business. This means we lose business for almost 2 years with no business income, which is high risk for E-2 visa renewal. Attorney Chung hinted major approach to show our faithfully resume back to our business after fire incident in 2021. Attorney Chung has turned all failure of acquisition of the new places to be sincerely effort to resume back to business as soon as possible. All necessary documentation has been reviewed and carefully presented to immigration officer including evident of acquisition, new investment & proof source of fund from Thailand, and all implementation of the original place. Surprisingly, after our family’s E-2 Visa Extension Application was submitted to USCIS for only 2 weeks, our application has been approval on September 29, 2023. This is good news for our family in 2 years. Attorney Chung confirmed that this is the fastest approval, in normal process, from his over 10 years’ experience in this field. May we take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to Attorney Bobby C. Chung for his valuable advice, vigorous effort to arrange all important information, and strategically present our case to the immigration officer. This major contribution makes our family’s E-2 visa extension can be approved within 2 weeks. And we can pass the critical situation from fire incident and return to our normal life again. We would like to thank Attorney Chung’s team, Mr. Randi Wilf, Senior Paralegal, dedicated our case manager for the past 10 years, who review and provide commend of all document and evident. And we also would like to thank Ms Alyona Kuznetsova, Administrative Assistant, who followed up our renewal case 6 months in advance before visa expiration, arranged meeting, meticulous in packing, and finalizing our application. Finally, we do strongly recommend Law of Bobby C. Chung, Attorney Chung, and his team, to everyone who would like to successfully in E-2 Visa Application and would like to work with knowledgeable team of E-2 Visa that can provide solutions for their specific situation & circumstance.

E2 Visa Approval

Bobby and his team helped us get approved for an E2 Visa. His experience and expertise was apparent from our initial meeting. He provided informative guidance and his team was very responsive to our inquiries. We had several touch points with his team including Alonya and Randi who were both hardwork...ing and helpful. Bobby was easy to talk to, trustworthy and provided counseling that was realistic yet encouraging. We would certainly recommend Bobby Chung to others who are considering his services.

Sucess in obtaining E2 Visa

I contacted attorney Bobby in March 2022 to request assistance for obtaining E2 visa. My husband and I had a zoom meeting with Bobby shortly after. He is very professional and knowledgeable in his field. We fell the trust and confident right away and made our decision that we are going to choose him.... Bobby and his team were so helpful through the processing period. We couldn't ask for better team. They answered all our questions timely and professionally. He held our hands through the whole process and gave us confident. We successfully obtained our E2 visa with NO problem or complication. I highly recommend Bobby and so grateful to meet and working with him and his team. I have a special thank to Stephanie and Randi
