Adjustment of Status Approved – Client Review by David P.

We hired Michael Cho as our attorney to help us obtain conditional permanent residency for my wife, -as she is from Mexico.  I recommend Mr. Cho with the highest confidence to anyone seeking a professional, accessible, meticulous and knowledgeable attorney for immigration matters.

He answered every call and email, personally, often within hours of my sending them.  When we arrived for our interview we were fully prepared through Mr. Cho’s guidance and input.  All of our forms, which we completed through him, were perfect.

Before I hired him, I pointed out to Mr. Cho that he was more expensive than the fly-by-night guy I found on Craig’s list.  He didn’t waiver when he told me I’d get my money’s worth if I went with him.  He was right.  I got my money’s worth, easily; his services are well worth the money.

If you are looking for someone who can help you through this process and turn it from something complex and intimidating to something approachable, manageable, and most of all, successful, I highly recommend Micheal Cho.

My sister in-law, who is the business manager of an importing & exporting company, highly reccomended Mr. Cho for his knowledge & expertise. My wife & I used Mr. Cho’s services 5 years ago when my wife needed to obtain her greencard. Mr. Cho was, as my sister had reccomended, very knowledgable with respect to the specific forms & other legal requirements we would need to complete. Not only was Mr. Cho extremely professional, but he was also very helpful in explaining all of the forms, which there were many of, to my wife & myself. He always responded to my phone calls & emails, often within the hour, & provded clear & insightful answers to our questions.  I can enthusiastically endorse Mr. Cho for: his knoweldge of the immigration laws, his understanding of all the paperwork & forms, & for  professionalism. By Darrell S. in San Francisco, CA

We knew we would be using a lawyer from outside the area because the only immigration attorney in our area was going on sabbatical. Michael Cho was recommended to us by another friend of ours (based in Chicago) who had a good experience with him. His rates are very reasonable and it seems adjustment of status is his speciality, so if this is what you are looking for, Michael Cho is your man. 

He was very responsive to us, responding within 24-48 hours to queries. All the headaches of the paperwork were taken care of by him; all we had to do was review and make sure the information was correct, and make our appointments. 

We consulted with him numerous times by email and phone and had a mock interview a week before the actual interview. He let us know what kind of questions to expect, what to wear, etc. We felt ready for the interview and it went off without a problem. He received his green card approximately 15 days after the interview and now we are just waiting the requisite time to remove the conditions.

We were very happy with the help that Mr. Cho gave us and all the questions he was able to answer along the way. It is good to have the advice of an expert, and we highly recommend him as one.

I can’t express how appreciative I am with Michael managing my case.  He was recommended by a co-worker of mine who had a friend who used him before. I had a good experience with him when he helped me with my case the first time, I am also currently using him for another case.  He is very responsive and knowledgeable with current legislation. I’m very happy with his service and highly recommend him.

Michael took the guess work out of filing for my wife’s permanent residency. He was very accessible all of the time to answer our massive amounts of questions, and provided an excellent service all around. I am a tax accountant and at first tried to wade through the adjustment of status process by myself. I soon realized that immigration is more complex than the U.S. tax code, so I hired a professional! Michael is affordable, and very good at what he does.

My husband and I found Michael Cho’s services online and he worked remotely on our case (we were based in Texas) for the duration of his services. We previously had tried to file for my husband’s permanent residency, yet no matter how hard we tried, we could not figure our way through the forms. Over the course of providing his services, Michael Cho answered countless questions for us over email and phone. He made the process much easier for us, and the filing was a success. Even now, years later, when we have contacted him with questions, he has replied promptly and cordially. We really appreciate his services and would highly recommend him to others.

Fiance Visa, Adjustment of Status, & Naturalization Approved – Client Review by Henri G.

Fiance Visa Approved - K-1 Fiance Visa Lawyer

All client testimonials are written by my former clients who you may request to contact and speak with, depending upon their personal schedules and preferences.

When I decided to bring my Philippine fiance to the United States I originally thought that I could handle all the immigration paper work and process my self.  After spending several hours downloading all the forms and their instructions as well as using an entire ream of paper, I realized this was going to be a very daunting process.  So I began an online search for an immigration lawyer.  I wanted one with offices in Los Angeles where I live and made several calls before finally settling on Michael Cho.  Most of my contact with him was via email but he always responded to my queries and answered my questions.  He sent all the required forms for both myself and my fiance to us in PDF type format and they were very easy for both of us to fill out online.  After submission, the forms were always available online for both of us the make copies for our records and interviews.  His data collection and advice were very timely and thorough.

When it was time for me to go to the Philippines for the interview at the U.S. Embassy in Manila, Mr. Cho coordinated an online mock interview for both me and my fiance.  Considering the 16 hour time difference, this was no easy feat but it went rather well and both I and my fiance felt reasonably assured that we were well prepared.  As it turned out, we were so well prepared, immigration officials from both countries looked at our paper work, stamped it and only asked one or two questions.  It did help that we had created a binder with all the required forms and had everything tabbed and labeled so we could quickly find information.

Once in the United States and married, we continued to used Mr. Cho to apply for change of status, work permits, alien registration and Social Security Cards.  I also decided to pay for everything in advance, to include the Naturalization process.  Everything arrived within a reasonable amount of time and my wife is now a U.S. Citizen.  The entire process, to include naturalization, took less than four years from start to finish.  There was only one glitch but it was easily handled before my wife’s citizenship ceremony.  The road to U.S. Citizenship was another round of paper work and interviews but with Mr. Cho’s advice and guidance, it was completed in a timely manner.  I highly recommend him.
