Started by someone who came here as a student.
Jinwen Liu came from China, earned an LL.M. at UT Austin, joined the New York bar in 2014, and opened this office in San Jose. We work in English and Mandarin — 10+ years, 1,000+ cases.
Why I practice immigration law
I came from China as an international student. I sat through the visa process myself — the waiting, the rules, the not-knowing. That is why I practice immigration law in San Jose.
The firm's name, 赢众 (Yingzhong), means "winning for the people." I still prepare each case as if my own status depended on it, because I remember when mine did. After 10+ years on immigration work, the files I take are mostly EB-1A, NIW, EB-5, and H-1B.
