Thank you!

Yingfei helped me apply for an R1 Visa. She guided me in order to successfully get my Visa approved! Very professional and has a lot of expertise in the field. I look forward to work with her again in the future for other applications and renewals! Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

Knowledgeable lawyer

Very knowledgeable, encourages to ask more questions, explains things in detail, very good communication skills, answers right to the point and very clearly. Really happy that I was able to reach her for my immigration related questions. Strongly recommend her.

Excellent H1-B Attorney

I was extremely nervous about my case and she was on top it form day one till the approval. She kept track of it before I asked her and more importantly kept me updated. She has excellent communication skills and very responsive overall. She kept supporting me even after my approval to get my ...visa issued at the consulate.

I was lucky to hire her

Can't thank her enough for working on my h1b work visa case. I have been worried since I work for a super small 1 person company and got RFE. She kept encouraging me and taking the lead in preparing all the documents. That's right,she took the lead and held hands all the way. Even when I got ti...red and lazy, she would keep calling/emailing to make sure I submit necessary material in time. She would answer all your questions patiently and even reply your emails after office hours. In the end my case was approved and I doubt if this would be possible if I wasn't lucky enough to hire her. If you're in a similar situation , just go ahead and talk to her. You won't regret.

The Best attorney I have come across !

Yingfei handled my initial H1-B and H1-B transfer case a couple of times and hands down, she's the best attorney I have come across. She's very knowledgable and responds right away to the emails and calls, making the communication super easy. My case was approved all the time without any problem. She... kept me informed every time when there was some feedback from USCIS or if some additional documents were needed for my case. I would definitely recommend her to other clients
