Green card approved!

Rosy is extremely professional, experienced and knowledgeable. She and her assistant Rebecca respond quickly and work hard to win my case. She takes time to listen to facts of my case and gives in depth and great attention to preparation on my green card process. I'm so happy and relieved now that I ...finally have my green card. If anybody is looking for the best immigration attorney, I would strongly recommend Rosy Cho.

US CITIZENSHIP

From the first meeting, Rosie was very understanding and sympathetic. She gave me the PROS and CONS for the actions we will be taking and let me know the BEST CASE and WORST CASE scenarios. At the interview, she was very helpful in keeping the immigration officer on track to the subject on hand. The ...ultimate result was that I was recommended for US citizenship and took my Oath in less than 30 days later. Thank you Rosie for all your help and support. You and your office are definitely highly recommended!

United at last!

Rosy is AMAZING!! Not only is she an expert in her field, but she is highly responsive over email, and is a genuinely caring and compassionate human being. She was not merely my legal consultant, but my emotional support during unexpected twists and turns in my husband's immigration application. Larg...ely thanks to Rosy, our story had a happy ending, with my husband finally being able to join me in the US with his Greencard. She's also an unusual lawyer in not being constantly focused on the financial bottom-line. For example, when she had to work overtime on our case due to an unexpected snag, she didn't charge me her full hourly rate because she said the snag wasn't either my or my husband's fault. I'm not sure how many other lawyers would have had that much honesty, integrity, and basic human kindness! Honestly, I can't praise her enough. Trust her - she will get the job done with proficiency and compassion!

Excellent and trustworthy immigration attorney

I am so grateful that I have found Rosy to help with my immigration case. She is seriously a godsent. I have a relatively complicated case, and wanted to adjust status within the U.S based on marriage to a U.S. citizen. Other lawyers who I have consulted prior to finding Rosy either told me that it... would be impossible, or that I would need to go back to my home country in order to adjust status and I could be there waiting for months while my job is on hold and at a risk that it won't get approved and I won't be able to come back into the States. I was pretty scared at the risk and dejected by a lack of a consistent response or no response from other lawyers, and then in comes Rosy. Rosy responds to her emails promptly, and she immediately put me at ease during our first consultation. She is very honest with the reality of the situation and after carefully reviewing my information, she reassures me that I can adjust status in the U.S, and many people adjust their status here without needing to go back to their home country. Her price is reasonable and there are no hidden fees later. She is very clear with explaining the process, and she is patient and continues to answer follow-up questions throughout the process. She is able to see things clearly and keep the process simple and straightforward. She provides checklists and timeline of what to do, so I just followed her checklist to gather all necessary documents. She would review all the documents in person with me and my husband before she helps me process the application. Her office keeps track and notifies me of all the USCIS notifications, so I never miss a notice. We would also meet again prior to the interview. Throughout the process, Rosy is reassuring and knowledgeable. She was right there with me for the interview and was a calming force. I was anxious and a little skeptical at how smooth the process would go, especially after all the negativity from other lawyers before. I highly recommend and trust in Rosy's guidance. I am so grateful I found her through the reviews here on Avvo, and now that my case is a success with obtaining work/travel authorization and a green card all within ~6 months, I want others to know about Rosy and how helpful she is. She is an excellent lawyer, so if in doubt, I suggest just sending her a email and inquiring about your case.

Won a tough case in 3 months

From my 1st interview to the denied letter, it took more than two years. I got stuck in my immigration process, the 1st lawyer (Jxxxx Bxxx) who is rated 10 massed up my case. I decided to look for other lawyer to help me to solve the denied letter. However, I visited 2 more top 10, they both scare me... away. I came to visit Rosy. I was little bit nervous and hopeless before I meet her because she is the 4th attorney I look for help. After an hour consultation, she explained to me with confidence and took my case. She took my case as her own and help me well prepared. When she’s with me in the interview, she strongly convinces the officer. Rosy help me to get my status in only 3 months. If you need a lawyer who can really help and fight for you. I strongly recommend her to you.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
