Best immigration lawyer in Sacramento

I have not world to describe how thankful I am that I found Peter Kyung to help me and my wife through the green card application process. Out of all the immigration lawyers I spoke with over the phone, he was the only one who insisted on meeting us in person before taking our case (A great sign).... Also in his pricing was extremely high like others I spoke with and was average for an immigration lawyer (another good indicator). After meeting with Peter, I know immediately that he was the right lawyer for us. He was professional and very extremely nice. He explained every part of the green card application process and was diligent in making sure we had all the right paperwork before even submitting our application. He was there whenever we had a question and was more that happy to help. Peter's knowledge and experience led to a very smooth and easy process. Because of Peter, for us the process went extremely past and I am happy to be a green card holder. I would recommend that anyone who is in need of an immigration lawyer, to look no further and hire Peter Kyung as the lawyer, You will not regret it.

Congratulations, David. I'm thankful that you chose to hire me despite the other attorneys and am glad our outcome was successful. You and O were great to work with and it was my pleasure to get to know you both and laugh along the way. I trust you're doing very well now that you're employed in the area of your expertise. It was great getting to know you, buddy. Please take care and hope to hear from you and O again in the future.

Great Experience

I've read many reviews about various things and I'm proud to say that all of the ones here are true about Peter Kyung. He truly cares and shows it in every aspect of his work. The communication with him was a breeze, he responded to many of my emails within minutes, and time was crucial in my case.... I was well assured and comfortable with him from day one of my naturalization process. He comes highly recommended and it'll be a mistake not to Peter regarding all immigration matters. Thank you.

Thank you for the kind words. Your case was indeed challenging and worrisome, but I'm glad I was able to comfort you and help take your case to success. As is with all of my clients, I could not have done it without you. I am wishing you a wonderful family life and career. Thank you for me to represent you. It was my pleasure.

A True Professional Immigration Lawyer

My wife and I hired Mr. Kyung to represent us in the processing of all necessary documents to effect a change of immigration of status. From the very beginning of our association with Mr. Kyung he displayed a high degree of professionalism in all communications we had with him. He was very respon...sive and understood very well the ultimate goal of his services and the lawyer/client relationship we had with him. In a period of less than four months my wife was successful in getting her residency (green card). All in part because of the type of work he did in obtaining this welcome outcome. In brief, I feel that anyone who hires Mr. Kyung will be served well, and in a very professional manner. He will go out of his way to ensure the lines of communication with his clients remain always open. If we had a question, his response was immediate, and most important, always in detail and to the point, leaving nothing to misinterpretations. Mr. Kyung is very knowledgeable and knows how to navigate the difficult and often complicated immigration laws in our country. I strongly recommend his services to anyone who is interested in hiring an attorney who will always look out for the best interests of his clients.

Please take care! Wishing you both good health and happiness!

Excellent results, in a record time

I had a great experience with Peter Kyung. He helped me with my application for an EB-1A, and the results were exceptional. We had our first meeting in late January, and I decided to hire him in late February. By July my case was already approved (via premium processing) and by October I had my green... card. He was always available to go through all the different details, and he did a great job learning the intricate details of my research in order to write a compelling case. I completely recommend him!

Thank you very much for the kind words. I'm glad that I was able to help you obtain your Extraordinary Ability green card. You were very helpful throughout the process and it couldn't have been done without you. Your exceptional ability of course set the groundwork for the benefit you received, but your continued assistance and patience with the process was what carried it through. Though it was time consuming and challenging in obtaining everything, everything went as planned so I'm thankful to have had the experience of representing someone in your field. Take care and continue to do the great things you do!

Great Lawyer

Peter helped my husband and I with our green card process. At first we were worried that our case was complicated but Peter helped ease our fears and was confident that our case was not difficult. He helped us with the entire process step by step, answered every one of our questions quickly and in de...tail. He was extremely patient with us and fully prepared us for our interview. Our package was detailed and the officer had very little questions for us. We were in and out without any problems. Peter foresaw everything we could have had difficulties with and helped us go through everything very smoothly without any bumps or delays. Everything happened exactly as Peter told us it would. He is a professional but personable lawyer. We are happy to work with him and will continue to do so in the future with any other issues that arise and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who needs legal assistance.

All glory to Him. Thank you!
