Amazing immigration lawyer

When first looking at the application for my husband's green card, we thought we would be able to do it on our own and soon realized we needed help. Peter was such an amazing help during the entire process. Before we had even begun the process Peter was able to answer so many questions and concerns, ...as well as give incredibly specific advice on how to handle the case. Our case was filed during the height of COVID and as a result, there was a massive delay as they got caught up. Peter was great at keeping us informed on what was happening and always being on top of the case. We were incredibly impressed with how quickly Peter filed our case and answered our questions. He was always incredibly open and honest about the case. Peter did a wonderful job getting to know my husband and I which helped him file our case in a way that reflected us. If you are looking for someone to help with the legalities of immigration cases, I would highly recommend Peter. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and hardworking. We couldn't have gone through this process without his help.

Case Approved! Thanks to Peter

Peter is an Expert! He is an expert in the field and know exactly what need to be done. If you want your case done the right way, I would definitely recommend him. He has a very clear and specific bullet list of what you need to submit and the list is specific to your case so it is very clear what d...ocument you need. before submit the case, He make sure you have everything done correctly and he arrange it in the way that USCIS will not confuse and get to the point so you not end up need unnecessary explanation. He also update with you any change and any approach the USCIS is on right now and if you need any information, he always explain it thoroughly and make sure you understand the situation. He is also very confidential about your case and you can ensure your information is being safe with him. I would’ve worry a lot about the case without him because the USCIS has been changing the approach method reasonably and everything is abnormal compare to cases in the past. I cannot say enough, but to recommended him to you either you think your case is strong, trust me, no matter house strong your case is, with out filling correctly, it actually take longer than having it done correctly in the first place. and Peter is a person that you can count on!

Best attorney ever!!

I don't know how to start this but husband and i knew Peter since 2020 on his previous employer ( Carsunkyung lawcorp). We started filing during pandemic and its really long process to wait but Peter never get tired of updating us for 3 YEARS due to pandemic .. Even tho our case was in his old law-fi...rm he took our case on his new corporation KILO (Kyung immigration Law office). Husband and i actually glad he got his own firm coz we see how hard working he is and no doubt its a success. He never disappoint us. This guy dont sleep that anytime you can email him and he will respond as soon as he can. kidding aside, before asking Peters help i went to another attorney first and paid $450 just for consultation. It was a red flag that the first attorney i encountered was all for money,i did lots of my search and reading good review about him and didnt make a mistake trusting Peter. He never forgot our case and he remember the details of everything. Any time we ask him or not even ask him, he will keep us updated. He even waived us fee when renewing my work permit. I never seen an attorney with compassion and care for others. I will take time to promote his lawfirm and recommend him to people that i know specially people who have problem fixing their papers. I have complicated case but Petter is knowledgeable enough to win my case! After all the long wait. We finally got it ! If you are reading this.Believe me YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT HAND. Good luck and God bless us all ❤️

Outstanding, Compassionate and Extremely Knowledgeable

Peter’s always been our go-to immigration attorney for my family’s immigration related services. He truly is outstanding at what he does. I reached out to Peter last year (late January 2022, filed in early March 2022) for help and representation on my AOS process and he was simply excellent. I got my... approval today (January 2023), and I can safely say that Peter’s efforts played a huge role in that! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, intelligent, detailed oriented and up to date on all the latest from the immigration authorities, but he is also kind, compassionate, understanding and a superb listener. Peter was always very responsive to my emails and questions, and he always answered all my questions in detail. He will make sure to assess your unique situation from every angle and advise you on the right path forward. All you must do is follow everything he tells you to do, and you will come out on the winning side! I will absolutely be reaching out to Peter in the future for immigration services.
