5 /5 Elisha Xin WEI: I came to the U.S. in 2019 to pursue a master’s degree at a seminary. At the same time, I noticed that the environment for religious faith in my home country was worsening. Upon a friend’s recommendation, I found Attorney Wang and submitted my asylum application in August 2020.
I still vividly remember the first time I walked into his office. I asked him only one question: “Can I avoid lying?” He slammed the table and firmly said, “Of course, you must not lie.” At that moment, I knew he was the right attorney for me! My faith of over 20 years has never allowed me to speak a lie. Even though my case was not filled with bloodshed or violence, I wrote my declaration with complete honesty.
Next, Ms. Miaoling’s professional guidance and meticulous work gave me great confidence. Following her instructions, I prepared all the necessary documents and began the “long” wait. My first attempt to expedite my case in 2023 was unsuccessful. In 2024, I tried again, and finally, I was scheduled for an interview in January 2025. With the new administration taking office, everything became even more uncertain. However, I firmly believed that the God who led me to the U.S. and the professionals He provided for me would prepare the best possible outcome.
During this time, I am especially grateful to Attorney Wang. With his keen legal expertise, he quickly found the relevant laws that allowed my son to receive free tuition while studying at the University of California.
Finally, the interview day arrived. The four-hour interview completely drained me—I could only mechanically respond to all the interrogations. I felt that my performance was mediocre. But at the last moment, Attorney Gong’s professional closing statement felt like a lifeline, giving me hope again.
After what felt like an eternity of waiting, on March 8th, I finally received a letter from USCIS. The moment I tore open the envelope and saw the word “approval,” I fell to my knees at the doorway, crying out loud—thanking God for His faithfulness and feeling deeply grateful for this result.
If anyone reads my comment, I want to say: Seek the Lord Jesus—He has been searching for you for so long! Seek out Attorney Wang—he can truly help you. May God bless Attorney Wang’s work so that justice can be a help to those in need! And may everyone seeking in the U.S. find what they are looking for!
