Mr.

Yingfei is a knowledgeable and responsible immigration attorney who helped me get my H1B in year 2018. My case was difficult yet Yingfei was working hard to prepare me for the RFE response. She was available whenever I had questions or concerns and always reachable. She was professional and moved qu...ickly on the urgent matters. I am so glad that I went to her for the H1B application and definitely will work with her again for the upcoming immigration application.

Ms. Zhou helped me on my visa petition twice. She is highly efficient and very professional. Not to mention that she is very patient and easy to communicate. I strongly recommend her. Her work is always beyond my expectation.

Knowledgeable and professional attorney

I believed a knowledgeable and professional attorney would not over promise and you would trust her rely on her. My attorney Yingfei Zhou is such an attorney who is very experienced, thoughtful and respectful with the detailed work. I would love to give her even higher rating for her trustworthy prof...essional job. My green card application went thru very well because she did a just perfect job. When I got my green card, I realized I didn’t have to worry about anything because she did such a wonderful job.

An Outstanding Immigration Attorney

If you are looking for a professional and experienced immigration attorney, I would strongly recommend Yingfei Zhou. I was very satisfied and blessed to have Yingfei as my attorney during my R-1 visa application. Yingfei is a very professional and experienced immigration attorney. She understands the... immigration policy really well and knows exactly what the immigration officer is looking for. In my case, she rightly suggested that there was one key requirement our church must meet. So, following her professional advice, we took action immediately and met that key requirement. Because of Yingfei's professional and very detailed work, in the end, my R-1 visa application was successfully approved. I really appreciate her very professional advice on my case. She saves my R-1 application. Yingfei also shows great respect to her client. I remembered during my R-1 application, whenever I called her, she always responded me at the first time and answered my questions with great patience. Her great respect and patience made me feel really comfortable and reduced my anxiety for my R-1 application. Yingfei is also a very efficient attorney. Right after our church hired her as my attorney, Yingfei made all the documents ready and summited them to immigration office within a week. In one word, Yingfei is an outstanding immigration attorney and I highly recommend her.

A Very Professional & Experienced Immigration Attorney

I'll get to the point right away: Yingfei delivered results--on the very first attempt. We hired her and her law firm for general assistance and advice on labor/immigration-related matters (e.g. H1, L1, etc.). Yingfei was very organized, knowledgeable, and efficient. We compiled the required supp...ort documents according to her guidance, and our application (in this case L1A) was approved on the first attempt without any RFE's. I very much enjoyed working with Yingfei and her team. We will definitely continue to use their services in the future.
