THE BEST IMMIGRATION LAWYER!!!

I thank God for my mom and I finding such an amazing lawyer. He has been present, responsive, on top of it, a person of faith, and so encouraging. During the duration of my case, he advocated on my behalf so much (sometimes I didn't even know he was calling and speaking to so many people to ensure I ...don't run out of time). He is very understanding, and more than willing to accomodate his clients. He is very passionate about helping families as well, and knows the importance of a family staying together. He is amazing, and I would recommend him anytime and any day. If you are looking for a person who will take on your case with utmost importance, priority, and really care about it; then Mr. Peter is the best lawyer you can have. He is so knowledgeable about several situations (adjust of status, naturalization, etc). THIS IS AN HONEST REVIEW. I can't stress how grateful I am. It was a pleasure working with Mr. Peter and by God's grace getting the outcome we all desired.

The best immigration attorney you can hope for

By way of introduction, we are a gay couple who worked with Peter for our I751 removal of conditions application, and the subsequent interview. We would like to start out by saying that this is not only the most positive experience we have had with any immigration attorney (or other attorney for that... matter), it is undoubtedly the most positive experience we have with ANY professional. Peter excelled on absolutely every front imaginable. Specifically we would like to point to these aspects of our interaction and his strengths as an attorney: 1. Being exceptionally detail oriented, leaving nothing to chance in terms of documents, filling out of applications, and organization of the material in a manner that was the most effective for review by USCIS. 2. Tremendous knowledge of the immigration process, at all levels - starting from esoteric aspects of the law, to mundane/logistical matters of interacting with USCIS staff. 3. Promptness, responsiveness, and thoroughness in communication. Going through the immigration process is stressful, and nothing is more stressful than the uncertainty of not having quick answers to questions. In this context, Peter is a star - he would reply to our emails and calls within minutes, around the clock, and in detail - with correct, succinct responses that would put our minds at ease. He never indicated that he was even slightly bothered by our multiple queries, and was incredibly patient. 4. Empathy and kindness. We imagine that Peter probably sees many cases like us every day. However, in the way he interacted with us, and handled our issues - we felt like we were his most important client. He knows that while this is everyday business for him, it's a huge matter for his clients' families, and every interaction with him is marked by his empathy and kindness. Our case brought some unanticipated events, including an interview that we did not expect. This added significantly to the time Peter spent on our case. Peter spent two full hours with us prepping us for it, and gave us thoughtful tips that were very helpful for us. 5. Directly as a result of his personal qualities, he has an incredible rapport with USCIS staff - from the security officers to the interviewing officers - they all seemed to know, like, and trust him very much. This greatly alleviated the minor logistical anxieties we had on top of the obvious anxiety with any USCIS interview. 6. His fee structure was transparent and highly reasonable, with no surprises. Our case was approved with no problems, and working with Peter was the best decision we ever made. In summary, we cannot imagine a more competent professional, compassionate person, or knowledgeable lawyer that one could work with for their immigration processes. He is the best of the best.

Excellent Attorney

I cannot be more thrilled to write a review in support of Peter Kyung and his practice. As a UK / US permanent resident holder, I retained Peter to assist me with my application for naturalization. From the first appointment to completion of my case, Peter successfully guided me throughout the en...tire process. Peter is an excellent immigration attorney. Knowledgable, attentive, responsive, and communicative. Peter kept me informed throughout the application process of any notifications regarding my case. Peter promptly responded to emails and calls. He was able to ease any concerns I may have had. Peter’s presence during the interview was of most value. I cannot thank him enough for all the advise he offered and shared throughout the process of successfully becoming a US Citizen. Peter’s professionalism, kindness and compassion remained consistent throughout all of my interactions with him. He is one of the most supportive, trustworthy attorneys I have had the pleasure of working with. I would throughly recommend Peter Kyung as an immigration attorney. He will be incredibly supportive of your particular needs along with offering his skilled, experienced expertise of immigration law. I feel blessed to have been one of his clients and could not have asked for a better legal representative.

Best Immigration Lawyer Anyone Could Ask For!

here are so many reasons to love Peter. When my husband and I started our journey to have me move here from Canada the process seemed so daunting and scary. Peter was kind, listened to our fears and was able to instill confidence in both us and our outcomes. When I was worried he always took the time... to let me know that everything was going to be ok. Throughout the entire process both Peter, and his staff treated us with kindness, respect and compassion. We are always comfortable in his office and impressed at the ease with which he navigates these complicated procedures. It’s been two years since our marriage was approved and we received my first green card. I am happy to say that I now have my conditions removed and I was just granted my 10 year card! My husband and I are forever great full and couldn’t be happier with the work Peter does. I highly recommend a conversation with him if you have questions or are anticipating immigrating. Peter’s exceptional skill and service, as well as his kind and compassionate personality will not disappoint. We wouldn’t not hesitate to retain him again in the future for anything we need!

Peter was so professional and kind!

Where do I begin!!! Peter was there for us EVERY step of the way, if I could give him 100 stars I would! My husband and I met with Peter for a consultation for advice on an adjustment of status. Peter treated us with absolute professionalism and kindness. He walked us through the entire process pro...viding all the necessary steps we needed to take and exactly what paperwork was needed, he even did a mock interview with us (that was so helpful!) We had some challenges through the immigration process with covid and also moving to a new state and Peter went above and beyond by helping us navigate all of the changes, and even being present during our interview out of state by phone! We were approved on the spot during our interview and the USCIS officer was so impressed by how prepared we were that SHE told US we were approved and that I would receive my PR card in the mail in 2 weeks - we ended up getting it in 1.5 weeks! Peter made this process so much less stressful and was so responsive (always within an hour at any time - that never happens with lawyers!) we are so so grateful to him and can’t express enough how great of an immigration attorney he is. We would recommend him to anyone!
