Immigration Law

I strongly recommend Margaret W. Wong & Associates for your immigration application. Ms. Wong first analyzed my case very carefully and suggested that I could obtain a green card rapidly through applying for EB-1A status. She assigned an excellent lawyer, Chela Marquez, and an excellent paralegal, Brittany Castle, to take care of my application. Fortunately, my application was approved by USCIS within three days due to the firm’s hard work. After obtaining our green cards, I found a new job and my family started a new life in the U.S. My American dream could not have come true so rapidly without their assistance.
