Success Stories: EB1-A Approval for a Nanoscience Postdoctoral Research Associate in 12 Weeks

Client’s Testimonial:

I had a wonderful time working with Chen Immigration Law Associates. The lawyers in the firm are extremely professional, always replying to my questions promptly and accurately. They frequently gave me highly valuable advice. For example, they suggested that I use normal processing based on my credential. I took their advice and not only saved the premium processing fee, but also got I-140 approved in only two and half months. It is understandable why my case was approved so fast if one would read into the extremely well organized and highly compelling petition letter Chen Immigration prepared for me. They are always ready to reply any of my immigration questions, even including those outside the scope of my I-140 petition. Their legal fee is not high at all compared to other firms, but in my point of view, their service is absolutely among the top. They also provide very unique services including the guarantee for approval and drafting the reference letters. These services put me at great ease and saved me lots of trouble. To anyone seeking EB1 or EB2, Chen Immigration Law Associates should be the ideal.
