Exceptional immigration attorney

Yingfei Zhou is an excellent immigration lawyer and I would highly recommend using her services. She is always very well prepared and highly organized, pays attention to detail, answers any relevant questions and addresses your concerns promptly and puts the necessary time and efforts to meet your ex...pectations or deadlines. You will find her to be very dependable and able to properly handle your immigration petitions, keep track of all changes, deficiencies and time lines. She is very friendly, diligent and easy to reach via email, phone or in office appointments or drop ins. Working with her on my EB2 NIW petition has been a great experience and I would encourage anyone looking for an immigration lawyer or a consultant to hire her.

H1B visa application

My H1b visa was approved last Wednesday. I highly recommended of Ms. Zhou! My friend recommended me of Ms. Zhou. She was very patient with me, explained a lot about H1b application and answered all my questions on our first meeting. My feeling with her was that she really cared about my case and ...understood my stress and concerns. She always tried to encourage me. The impression from other attorneys who I talked to was that they only care about money, and some even timed how long I had talked to them. Plus, The attorney fees of Ms. Zhou were reasonable. Therefore, I chose Zhou as my attorney to apply for the H1b visa in 2017. As you know, 2017 is the toughest year for H1b applicants. I got a RFE as well. She explained what I needed to submit and helped me to prepare some documents from her side. With Ms. Yingfei Zhou's help, my visa was approved. I would say that Ms. Zhou is very professional, knowledgeable, patient and detail oriented. I know some attorneys even fill out wrong information on the forms ( for example, your name, DOB, address, passport number, etc.). I reviewed all forms that Ms. Zhou filled out for me, there were no any errors at all. I did appreciate her help in the whole process. Without her help, I could not get the H1b visa.

Excellent experience

Yingfei followed me during my green card application process. Her help and guidance were very important. She responded in a timely manner to my emails and phone calls and solved any doubt I had during the process. I strongly recommend her.

Stellar job on a TN Management Consultant application!

I can only highly recommend the services of Yingfei Zhou if you, like me, need to get a TN1 Management Consultant status. It's not an easy category to apply for but thanks to her expertise, dedication, knowledge and quick turnaround time, I felt confident and well prepared for the interview at the bo...rder. The officer there congratulated me on how thorough and put together my application was and happily granted me a 3-year visa. Thank you Mrs Zhou!
