"I had a wonderful experience working with Reach Law Group. The attorney who helped me, Cathy Chen, is brilliant! She guided me REMOTELY on how to prepare documents adequatly for my EB-2 green card and also completed a super strong Letter of Intent. Thanks to all these efforts, my NIW petition was approved in 6 days!!! As of now, I am waiting for my priority day to file Adjustment of Status application. I am very happy that Reach Law Group and Cathy, in particular, will be able to take care of it so that I can be sure that all is correctly, on time and reliably. thank you very much!!!"

“Outstanding green card service! I had an incredible experience with Reach Law Group. From the moment I contacted them, their teams was professional and incredibly helpful through the entire green card application process. Thanks for their professional and efficient service, I received my green card much faster than I could have ever anticipated. Additionally, their fees were reasonable and competitive, especially considering the invaluable services they provided. I highly recommend Reach Law Group!”
