With my eyes closed,I recommend Peter Kyung and his team for any immigration assistance you may need

I am here to thank and highly RECOMMEND Peter! for his service and professionalism in making my case a complete success. Without a doubt, it was the best decision my husband and I could have made to contact him and trust him with my case, because in July 2024 we submitted all the documents to beg...in the process to apply for permanent residence and on February 8, 2025 I received approval for the I-485, so I am currently waiting for my card!!! It was faster than we expected. I want to highlight, from beginning to end, Peter was always aware of EVERYTHING and kept us informed of changes and notices from immigration and always made them available to us as soon as possible, and he was also always very attentive in resolving any questions we had. With my eyes closed,I recommend Peter and his team for any immigration assistance you may need. Thank you immensely Peter and Allyson for your kind treatment, you are the best!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Peter at KILO Immigration was absolutely fantastic. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a deep understanding of the immigration process and took a methodical, precise approach to our case. He knew exactly what documents and steps were needed, making what should have been a stressful process feel... seamless and straightforward. His attention to detail and clear communication gave us confidence every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my wife successfully received her green card. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Outstanding service and very quick to respond to inquires and questions.—highly recommend Peter to anyone needing immigration assistance! (Also thank you Allyson!!! You guys make a great team)

  • 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.
