Attention Law Firms: We Can Be Your China Co-Counsel

U.S. lawyers, including many members of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), choose to co-counsel with our firm on matters before the U.S. Consulates in China because:

  • We have offices on the ground in Guangzhou and Beijing. We also regularly appear before the Consulates in Shanghai, Shenyang, and Chengdu.

  • We make it our business to know the Consulates' requirements, procedures, and quirks.

  • While attorneys are generally not allowed to represent visa applicants in person during the interview, we can (a) meet with the Consulate in advance to discuss eligibility issues; and (b) if the Consulate's precise grounds for refusing a visa are unclear or questionable, go to the Consulate in person to investigate or rebut those grounds.

  • Where visa eligibility turns on a matter of Chinese business law, family law, or criminal law, we have access to Chinese legal expertise.

  • We can work seamlessly with your law firm and the client to minimize duplicated efforts.

  • We reduce the hassle to you of communicating with the Consulates and China clients across multiple time zones.

  • We have lawyers and staff fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese.
