We prepared the application and all of my supporting documents to prove that I was a persona with good moral character, despite my DUI conviction. We submitted the complete application after a thorough review by Peter to ensure everything was accurate. We then waited for the interview notice. Peter was always there to answer any of my questions. He would always respond within minutes, even on weekends. He would provide very valuable answers, sometimes to those questions that were not even related to my naturalization case. He seriously is a gem of a guy. He prepared me thoroughly for my interview and was right by my side supporting me during the interview. He made me feel comfortable and confident, and together we came out with an approval letter. I am now scheduled for my oath ceremony in 2 weeks and I cannot thank Peter enough.
I would recommend Peter to anyone who wants not only a very intelligent and smart attorney, but a friend that will understand you and care about your case. He is very passionate about what he does and his attention to details helps build the strongest of cases that are highly likely to be successful. I am extremely thankful for Peter and his services and I will be forever grateful for what he has done for me and my family. I look forward to working with him to help with my fiancée visa. If there is anyone that I can trust in to bring the love of my life close to me, then it would be Peter.
We worked with Peter for just over a year and from day one, we liked him, not only as a lawyer, but as a person. He is extremely knowledgeable, fast paced, lays everything out for the client in a step by step process, that would make even the most daunting task or paperwork seem easy. We plan to continue our working relationship with Peter in the future for any and all of my final immigration needs.
I have been searching for attorneys and I found Peter on several website and people shared extraordinary experience with his law firm. I took day off and sill I remember that day I started driving from Reno to Sacramento in very bad weather and while I was driving I was thinking should I really go and see him. Finally, after a long drive I reached his office met him and in 1 hour I decided that I will request him to take my case. Next day I sent him an email and shared my request he accepted to take my very challenging case.
He started working on my case and he works like he is my family member or like my brother. He is extremely honest with his work and his staff is very amazing. The best thing about peter is communication. He replies my email very promptly. I still remember I was at night shift I was worried about my case and possibly loosing my job as a physician. I sent him an email on Sunday night at 7 PM that I am worried about my case and he replied to my email and I was very glad and relaxed after reading his email and at the same time surprised with his dedication with his work.
USCIS called my interview and he came to attend my interview with me all the way from Sacramento. I offered him to arrange hotel in Reno, but he declined, and he asked me to meet him at Starbucks at 7 AM to further prepare me for my interview. He prepared me for 2 hours before my interview. Today while I am writing this my green card has approved and I received letter from USCIS.
Also, I would like to mention that his office never calls me for payment. We never had discussion about fee after the 1st consultation.
I am extremely thankful to Peter and his staff specially Jennifer and Janette. It was amazing experience. I feel like I found a very good friend and honest person. I would highly recommend him specially for difficult cases like mine. He is hero in front of my whole family.
My husband and I are completely satisfied with our decision to contact Carson & Kyung regarding our immigration case. We arrived at their office the first time without any experience or ideas about how to proceed, but once we discussed our situation with Peter Kyung, we knew that we were in good hands.
My husband and I were both relieved and impressed when Mr. Kyung presented an exact plan of action during our very first consultation. He showed us the entire timetable and sequence of events exactly as they would occur throughout the duration of our case. He listened to our concerns and goals and then showed us the bigger picture – even beyond our goal. We left our first consultation with good understanding of the entire process and our way forward.
Throughout the course of our consultations, we came to know Peter as an extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. His familiarity with the complex U.S. immigration laws made us feel confident that our case was well taken care of. At first I was overwhelmed by the seemingly exhausting and bureaucratic process, but Peter and his staff were professional and efficient. They helped the procedure go very smoothly – at times detecting errors in our forms to be clarified before their office submitted them for us.
Importantly, Peter communicated very naturally with us about otherwise complicated legal matters, giving us clear directions about which actions to take and which not to. He emphasized that he was always available if we had any questions, which we had. We really appreciated his prompt responses to our emails and the answers to the many questions we had.
All in all, I feel that we could not have been in better hands, and my husband and I cannot thank Carson & Kyung’s office enough. We highly recommend this law firm to anybody who needs legal assistance in immigration matters.
After having the forgiveness, my husband attended his interview in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. We were very afraid about the interview. But we knew that Peter was going to help us. Peter prepared us well. Your assistants organized all the necessary documents for us. Thanks to the efforts of Peter, and the firm Carson & Kyung, my husband received his visa. Finally, my husband is a permanent resident of the United States.
Our family will always appreciate the help of attorney Peter Kyung. Peter is a lawyer and an exceptional person. He understood that our resources are limited and he did an excellent job at a reduced rate. I also want to say that we never had difficulties communicating with Peter. Although Peter does not speak Spanish, his assistants in the office do speak Spanish. They helped a lot in translating so that we understood each other. Without a doubt, we recommend Peter and his firm, Carson & Kyung, for any immigration case.

El abogado de inmigración Peter Kyung es excelente. Nuestro caso era complicado. Mi esposo entro a este país sin documentos. Yo soy ciudadana pero no pude arreglarle su estatus a mi esposo sin el perdón, I-601A Solicitud por Exención Provisional de Presencia Ilegal. Otros abogados nos dijeron que obtener el perdón es difícil—casi imposible. Pero Peter nunca dudo de nuestro caso. Peter lucho duro por nosotros. Reviso más de 2000 páginas de mi historial médica para escoger la mejor evidencia. Nos guio por el proceso completo. Con la ayuda del Peter, conseguimos el perdón.
Después de tener el perdón, mi esposo asistió a su entrevista en Ciudad Juárez, México. Teníamos mucho miedo acerca de la entrevista. Pero sabíamos que el Peter nos iba ayudar. Peter nos preparó bien. Sus asistentes nos organizaron todos los documentos necesarios por nosotros. Gracias a los esfuerzos de Peter, y de la firma Carson & Kyung, mi esposo recibió su visa. Finalmente mi esposo es residente permanente de los Estados Unidos.
Nuestra familia siempre agradecerá la ayuda del abogado Peter Kyung. Peter es un abogado y una persona excepcional. Entendió que nuestros recursos son limitados e hizo un trabajo excelente a una tarifa reducida. También quiero decir que nosotros nunca teníamos dificultades en comunicarnos con Peter. Aunque Peter no hable español, sus asistentes en la oficina si hablan español. Ellas ayudaron mucho en traducir para que nos entendiéramos uno al otro. Sin duda, nosotros recomendamos al Peter y a su firma, Carson & Kyung, por cualquier caso inmigratorio.
I found Peter to be honest, direct and hardworking with an eye for detail. Peter's approach is to form a collaborative relationship with his clients.
The condition on my Green Card was removed last month, I credit the positive outcome for my petition to Peter's approach and will definitely recommend his services in the future to anyone looking for assistance.
Peter was warm, kind, and made every effort to save us money and time along every step of the way, even before we signed any contract with him. He was ALWAYS available to answer any and all of our questions (and we had alot) never once making us feel stupid or overwhelmed.
Most importantly though, he was honest. About everything. He was honest when he thought that there was a portion that we didn't need him for and therefore shouldn't pay him even though we would have been willing to.
Our case is nearly concluded now and the field officer conducting our interview actually commented on how prepared we were. He stated "normally, these take about 6 weeks to get approved. but you guys have so much evidence and your files are so well prepared that i'm pretty sure this will get approved by the end of the day"
If you're on the fence about going with this firm, I would definitely recommend you do it. There are just so many legal potholes and pitfalls in the immigration legal process that you really need a guide to help you through it. Peter kyung navigated ALL of these pitfalls expertly at every turn and we never once felt like we were being taken for a ride.
I know Peter to be very knowledgeable with immigration regulations, and he is well connected and understands US immigration processes to advance my relatives’ applications. For example, Peter facilitated my relatives’ applications and obtained timely responses from the US Consulate. Additionally, Peter got the required documentation from Iraq to successfully submit to the US consulate. Peter also prepared my relatives for the consular interview, as he conducted mock interviews with them.
Asides from many qualities, Peter’s biggest strengths are his professionalism and courtesy. He is respectful of varying cultures, is pleasant to work with, and spent the time with me to ensure that I fully understood the process behind immigration applications. Moreover, Peter is very timely in his responses and prioritized my requests including on weekends. Peter also assisted me in reviewing immigration documentation for completion to avoid delays with the US Consulate.
I recommend Peter to be an extraordinary and commendable immigration attorney, and I would gladly retain him again in the future.
From the beginning Peter prepares your case to send it almost complete, this speeds up the response time by USCIS. In just 7 months we obtained our permanent residence (GreenCards).
We thought that the interview was going to touch us in dates where they would apply the new law, even so Peter was already preparing us in case there were changes and we had to add something to our case.
It was worth every penny of what we paid (good price), simply by taking all the stress out of our lives. Every time we had a doubt Peter always answered the emails almost at once or if the doubt was complex, he called to explain.
At first I had my doubts if the language was going to be a barrier to work with them since my wife does not speak English, but it was not a problem, since you enter the office they have people who welcome you and can work in English or Spanish .
It is a very important process to do without the advice of someone professional, in this case I recommend consulting with Peter Kyung, not only is an excellent lawyer, if you do not change an excellent person.

Definitivamente el servicio fue excelente desde el primer día de consulta, Peter resolvió todas mis dudas y decidímos empezar inmediatamente con el Ajuste de Estatus para mi hija y yo.
Desde el principio Peter prepara tu caso para enviarlo prácticamente completo, esto agiliza el tiempo de respuesta por parte de USCIS. En tan sólo 7 meses obtuvimos nuestra residencia permanente (GreenCards).
Creímos que nos iba a tocar la entrevista en fechas donde aplicarían la nueva ley, aun así Peter ya nos estaba preparando por si había cambios y tuviesemos que agregar algo a nuestro caso.
Valió cada centavo de lo que pagamos (buen precio), simplemente por el hecho de quitar todo el estrés de nuestras vidas. Cada que teníamos una duda Peter siempre repondió los correos casi en el instante o si la duda era compleja, él llamaba para explicarnos.
Al principio tenía mis dudas si el idioma iba ser una barrera para trabajar con ellos ya que mi esposa no habla inglés, pero no fue ningún problema, desde que entras a la oficina tienen gente que te da la bienvenida y puedes trabajar en inglés o español.
Es un trámite muy importante como para hacerlo sin la asesoría de alguien profesional, en este caso les recomiendo consulten con Peter Kyung, no solo es un excelente abogado, si no támbien una excelente persona.
Peter is so professional and educated I could tell on my first meeting. My case was so complicated but he took every step safely forward, he made it one thing at a time, to be hundred percent sure and safe before I even applied for my citizenship. He was so professional about returning my calls, emails, and answering every question I had. Now I am a proud U.S citizen... I recommend Peter to all my family and friends. BEST ATTORNEY in Sacramento!
My wife and I are extremely happy to be his clients because he always made us very comfortable whenever he saw us stressed or in doubt. The whole office is great and the legal staff is super friendly and nice.
When I went to my interview, Peter was there and he made sure that my wife and I were well prepared prior to the interview. I definitely recommend Peter Kyung because he will make sure your case process goes well. He is the BEST! I will definitely be coming back!

Muy excelente trato de todo el personal que ahí trabaja
My case was a spousal based green card application. I had considered filing the application myself. It didn’t seem too hard. But as I did more research I quickly came to the conclusion that it was more complicated than I had originally thought. The danger was not in what I knew but in what I did not know that I did not know. I needed a lawyer.
I have worked all over the world in my job and have worked with many different attorneys to solve business and regulatory problems, but I have never met an attorney like Peter.
Peter is a founding partner of Carson & Kyung, a dynamic and growing law firm in Sacramento. His speciality is immigration law. He is very busy, yet from my very first meeting with him I felt like to him I was the most important person in the world. He explained the application process, told me what documents he needed and gave me a realistic assessment of the timelines for each step. He was quickly available by phone or email whenever I needed him.
From the very beginning I knew I had made the right choice. Peter and his staff know how to build a file that persuasively shows compliance with the law and regulations. My application and supporting documents was 281 pages. And that was supplemented with another 108 pages submitted during my interview.
The green card was approved shortly after the interview. Peter is a talented lawyer and an extremely honest and decent man.
Thanks for everything, Peter! Nina and I are very grateful for your help.
When it comes to communication, Peter is absolutely the best. He always kept me updated and responded to emails promptly answering any questions I had. He is honest, concise and detailed in explaining any situation and that was very assuring. He treated me like family and always listened to my concerns. I would highly recommend this law firm and I am very thankful to Peter for everything he has done for me.
Throughout the process, Peter was communicating with us through emails and phone calls when needed. We always communicated with him thru emails and he would respond immediately. During the process, our medical doctor made a mistake on our forms that delayed our process. Peter reassured us not to worry and took care of everything on his end.
There is no words to describe the hard work Peter has done for us and to his other clients. Peter is definitely an Attorney you could trust and rely on and his fees are very reasonable. He will be with you throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Peter Kyung and his professional staff of Carson & Kyung. Thank you Peter for everything you have done and will definitely do business with your firm again.
While our immigration case was worrisome at times, Peter was always there to support and guide us through. We knew how busy he was with many other clients going through the same as us, if not worse, but he made us feel like we were the center of his world and we always felt attended to, no matter what came up or when. He kept our case moving and helped us to keep hope alive, no matter what we faced.
He guided us to success and we will always know and be grateful for the huge role he played in our lives. Now, we can truly say that our future is shining bright with this huge hurdle behind us. Should we ever need assistance again, we will not think twice to hire him again and/ or refer him to anyone who may face the same hurdle.
He is attentive to the smallest of details. He has no problem in saying "no you don't need to submit that" because he knows the most efficient and correct way of getting your applications approved.
My wife and I hired Peter back in October 2018 to start Adjustment of Status process. When others took a year to complete or even more, I just got a decision yesterday that it was approved after 7 months. His advice throughout the process, especially when it comes to putting together everything that you would need for the case and also for the interview, was spot on.
I cannot stress enough how amazing Peter is as an immigration lawyer. And my wife and I are looking forward to work with him again and again going forward.
Thank you Peter!
If you need a lawyer who is intelligent, caring and knows how to get things done, Peter Kyung is your person. Working with him was a privilege for me and I want others to have that privilege too.
Again, Thank you Peter Kyung & Brian Lopez.
Hardworking, smart and knowledgeable lawyer who really cares about his clients. Peter was able to get the desired result, which in my case was to obtain my green card, in a very timely manner. I have to mention also that the legal staff was very friendly, efficient and professional every time I came in to meet with Peter. My wife and I are very grateful for all the hard work he did on my immigration case. I highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.
And if you're are hesitant about an immigration lawyer, you do not need to look no more, because, as I read in previous reviews before, he's the best immigration lawyer in Sacramento and the whole area!

El mejor abogado de sacramento en el area de inmigración
Aside from being really good at what he does professionally, he is also an extremely genuine human being with unending compassion...and this made the experience very meaningful to us. He also went the extra step to always talk with us and help us feel calm when he sensed our doubts and fears. We always looked forward to our meetings with Peter, almost as though we were going to see a friend we really like hanging out with.
I walked into my interview feeling so calm and confident mainly because of the meeting I had with Peter prior to the actual interview, where he explained to me that we had nothing to worry about and prepared us for the interview. We could not be more grateful to have had peter as our attorney. I could not recommend him enough.
Thanks for everything Peter, you are the bestest! Unending gratitude, always.
God guided us through this rough road, and Peter took over from there and made it happen for us. Peter, you are the best of the best!
I love my wife and I wanted to be certain her application to adjust her resident status would be prepared with all the due care and attention as I would if I were a legal professional representing us.
Integrity, compassion, and specialized experience in immigration law are among the many reasons why I chose Peter to represent us. I valued every advice he provided through electronic mail, telephone, and in-person visits – all of which was delivered with every bit of professionalism you would expect. The time Peter spent with us to prepare for and accompany us at the immigration office was especially enlightening, and comforting, respectively.
I would not hesitate to recommend Peter to anyone.
Out of all the immigration lawyers I spoke with over the phone, he was the only one who insisted on meeting us in person before taking our case (A great sign). Also in his pricing was extremely high like others I spoke with and was average for an immigration lawyer (another good indicator).
After meeting with Peter, I know immediately that he was the right lawyer for us. He was professional and very extremely nice. He explained every part of the green card application process and was diligent in making sure we had all the right paperwork before even submitting our application. He was there whenever we had a question and was more that happy to help.
Peter's knowledge and experience led to a very smooth and easy process. Because of Peter, for us the process went extremely past and I am happy to be a green card holder.
I would recommend that anyone who is in need of an immigration lawyer, to look no further and hire Peter Kyung as the lawyer, You will not regret it.
He truly cares and shows it in every aspect of his work. The communication with him was a breeze, he responded to many of my emails within minutes, and time was crucial in my case.
I was well assured and comfortable with him from day one of my naturalization process.
He comes highly recommended and it'll be a mistake not to Peter regarding all immigration matters.
Thank you.
We hired Mr. Kyung to represent us in the processing of all necessary documents to effect a change of immigration of status. From the very beginning of our association with Mr. Kyung he displayed a high degree of professionalism in all communications we had with him. He was very responsive and understood very well the ultimate goal of his services and the lawyer/client relationship we had with him. In a period of less than four months my wife was successful in getting her residency (green card). All in part because of the type of work he did in obtaining this welcome outcome. In brief, I feel that anyone who hires Mr. Kyung will be served well, and in a very professional manner. He will go out of his way to ensure the lines of communication with his clients remain always open. If we had a question, his response was immediate, and most important, always in detail and to the point, leaving nothing to misinterpretations. Mr. Kyung is very knowledgeable and knows how to navigate the difficult and often complicated immigration laws in our country. I strongly recommend his services to anyone who is interested in hiring an attorney who will always look out for the best interests of his clients.

I took to the internet and found Peter. He had the best reviews of any lawyer I have ever seen so I immediately sent him an e-mail. From the moment I first contacted him, he was nothing but an absolute dream to work with. Peter really makes you feel like you are the only client he has! He responded to every e-mail I sent him (along with e-mails my husband sent to him) in such a timely matter, sometimes within minutes. I couldn't believe how prompt he was! Peter always kept my husband and I informed. He was reassuring when I needed it and he accompanied us to our interview where he was calm and confident which totally put me at ease.
Along with being completely fantastic at what he does, Peter is a genuinely nice person. It was a pleasure to work with him and I thoroughly recommend his services. I will be contacting Peter for sure in two years when it's time to remove conditions on my green card.
Thank you so much, Peter! Shane and I truly are grateful to you.
I knew I didn’t want to be living with that pressure on my shoulders, becoming an "illegal immigrant"... NO WAY! We were not going to give up.
What else to do? Who should we really trust? How much more money are we going to need? It was a very stressful time.
I've used Google and Yelp so many times and I never Imagined that this time I was going to find a solution for this here... Ok let's try! why not?
Thank God for reviews!!
Since the first meeting we had with Peter we signed the contract; it felt so comfortable, we were sure things were going to be fine with him on our side!
Elegant and friendly environment, Peter has this super patient, polite and intelligent way of explaining the whole process to you.. finally, everything was clear for us!
Through the process, communication was fantastic, very efficient. Every question or everytime I was freaking out with the forms and needing help, Peter was there explaining step by step and answering all our questions. He was always clear and straightforward; also, his team was always on top of things, they were letting us know about any new event, any detail and any new notification.
When my wife and I finally got our USCIS Interview, Peter was there with us, supporting and helping with everything, as I said, always on top of things.
Having Peter there in the Interview made me feel secure and supported, it definitely made the difference.
The day I received the notification of approval I was so happy, so thankful. I knew that having Mr. Kyung as our lawyer made things go smoother, quicker and easier. The whole process took 4 months!! when in the beginning I thought it was going to take at least one year!
I'm recommending Carson & Kyung as much as I can; I recently recommended him to two friends of mine, they are going through the same process and they need good, efficient help. They seem as comfortable and satisfied with Peter as I was.
Now I have my GreenCard in the pocket, Ooooh yeah! Now we are able to travel and see my family and come back without being worried anymore! I can move freely around too!
Thank you very much Peter. Cheers!
GRACIAS!!
I had an immigration issue and was working with Peter Kyung who practices immigration law at the firm.
On a personal level, Peter was the perfect attorney to work with for me, calm and confident, always very supportive and understanding, who is genuinely interested in helping you achieve your immigration goals.
On a professional level, Peter impressed me as very knowledgeable and experienced in his field, he was always quick to respond to any questions I had during the process, very detail oriented and diligent when gathering all the paperwork and all with the goal of achieving a positive result for you as quickly as possible unlike at other firms where their goal is to get as much money from you as possible by either giving you false information or extending the process for as long as possible based on what I heard from people who had this unfortunate experience with other attorneys.
Overall, thanks to all the great work Peter put into my case, his professionalism, intelligence and diligence, I received the approval for permanent residency just after 3 days after the immigration interview even despite some complications that I had in my case.
So, based on my experience with Peter Kyung and stories from people about other attorneys, if you or your friends are considering an immigration lawyer, I wouldn't think twice in choosing Peter Kyung as your representative in any immigration matters you might have as I know from my own experience he will do all his best in helping you achieve your immigration goals in a timely and professional manner.
I called for an appointment and his office was the most accommodating of our requested meeting schedule. My husband and I went to meet him. He was very congenial and straightforward. But he is awfully young and has not been in practice as long as the other 2 in my shortlist! But nonetheless we decided to retain him then, secretly crossing our fingers that we made the right choice.
As it turned out, my husband and I are very happy and satisfied with the manner by which Peter handled our case within the last 3 months. He is details oriented and follows through with his commitments. He does follow up calls and emails when he says he will. He makes himself available for very early or late day meetings. He returns calls whenever necessary. And he came with us during our interview just as he promised during our first meeting.
In short, he is most professional in his dealing with us. He was helpful and reassuring but at the same time is able to temper our expectations. I will retain him again if the need arises (hopefully not). I will certainly recommend him to family and friends to handle their cases. Also, I’m posting this review to help anyone who finds himself in a similar situation as I was in 3 months ago.
Thanks a lot Peter! Keep doing such a marvelous job.
