The Law Office of Jin S. Kim

Thank you for visiting the internet home of the Law Office of Jin S. Kim, an immigration law office located in Berkeley, California, dedicated to serving those seeking counsel regarding their immigration and visa issues.  The particular focus of this office is to assist families in the US who wish to help relatives immigrate--or remain--in the US, foreign investors of small businesses, and religious congregations in the hiring of foreign ministers and clergy.  Mr. Kim is an active member of the California State Bar and an active member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

Family-based immigration petitions and marriage-based adjustment of status applications comprise a majority of the cases successfully handled at this office and the office maintains a high standard for quality demonstrated in the many happy clients it has served over the years.  Special attention to candor and competence is a hallmark of all law firms with a commitment to serving the community.  This office meets those high standards set by the State Bar and provides carefully considered counsel to the public through reasonable flat rates and a full explanation of costs involved in each application process.

Being a consumer seeking counsel in immigration law can be a daunting experience.  The hazards many face are non-attorneys giving questionable legal advice and even the rare and odd member of the bar who preys on the most vulnerable in our society in the guise of giving them assistance.  We strive to offer our clients uncompromising service, flexibility to meet the clients' needs, and fair rates to accommodate the financial burdens of our clients.  Whether you are a US citizen seeking benefits for a family member, an F-1 student transitioning into the workplace, a church planning to expand an ethnic ministry, or a small business considering a non-resident candidate for employment, we can guide you through the process.

Located in Berkeley, California, the office serves clients in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, including residents of the East Bay (Oakland, Walnut Creek, Alameda, Pleasanton, Albany, El Cerrito, Hayward), South Bay (San Jose, Palo Alto), North Bay (Vallejo, San Rafael), and San Francisco.
