I thank the Lord for leading me to Jacob and his team. About 4 years ago Jacob took over my case and only in a matter of months I got my H1B visa then six months after my family was able to come. With God's blessings this year I received the approval of my H1B Extension through the professional services of Jacob and his team. They were very helpful, patient in entertaining questions and always available to assist. They are professional, knowledgeable, honest and very concerned with the client's benefits. I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs assistance pertaining to immigration. To the Law Offices of Jacob J. Sapochnick, thank you very much.

From my first encounter with Jacob Sapochnick, I knew I was dealing with a professional lawyer with high sense of integrity and outstanding work ethics. He also enjoys a certain calmness of spirit which immediately put me at peace with the unknown world of US immigration. Another key characteristic of Jacob is his constant reassurance and positivity. I was certain that with his assistance, I will be able to obtain a US work permit and the required change of status. I trusted I was in good hands and needless to say my case was accepted. By mixing hard work and exceptional personality traits, Jacob led me smoothly to the finishing line with definite success.
I would like to thank thoroughly Jacob Sapochnick and his amazing team namely Linda Parrish, Inese Grate and Jessica Kalb for their remarkable support and undivided attention during my frequent visits to their office. I was always given the most valuable advice on how to proceed and to present my case in the best light. I can never thank each and every one of you enough for your brilliance on all levels!

I met Jacob first time in november 2011,
at that time I needed a B1-B2 visa that I had immediately:
in 15 days from my first phone call I was back in Florida!
After that we applied for my E2 Visa
Jacob turned out to be really VERY patient with my "every day changing" situation
he has always been clear and precise in explanations, suggestions and strategies
taking me step by step to a happy end solution
All the steps turned out to be the right steps in the right way at the right moment
I've been approved and today finally I was able to ask for my first SSN!
thanks Jacob and all the great staff
I'll recommend to everyone to work with you!

I have been in search of a way to work and live in the US for over 15 years. One advice I learned along the way is to find people who play at what you have to work at. In other words, find people who know the system, the challenges and the path to success. Learn from them or hire them. I did the latter when I discovered Jacob and his firm on the Internet. Unlike previous lawyers I had seek advice from, they had a step by step, end to end solution to help with my H1B Work Visa quest.
After hiring Jacob and his firm, they literally took me by the hand and in less than 2 months I was successful applicant (after I had groped around in the dark for 15 years!) They handled EVERY process of the very complex application for a work visa. It was an amazing experience to work with them. They are very knowledge, friendly, and professional.
I highly endorse the Law Offices of Jacob and would recommend to anyone - who has a dream to come to the United States and pursue their passion - check out Jacob’s blog, read about his Company’s success rate and hire them!

Jacob and his group of attorneys are simply a class act! I had the privilege of having Jacob help me in my citizenship case. He was very thorough, bright and knowledgeable and at the same time very caring and assuring. He is very straight and honest in explaining everything. He was there at each and every step -- answers emails quickly, and meets with you personally if you need to.
Nadia is one of his excellent attorneys, who is helped me too. She was fabulous and thorough!
Jacob was with me for my interview, and the interview went excellent and sent for approval!
Highly recommend Jacob and his team! They are the best!
Blessings.

Jacob helped me applied for O1 visa, and the result turned out very good. I am approved for 3 years. He is very knowledgeable and I will definitely recommend Jacob to anyone who needs help in immigration!

I have used Jacob's services in four different occasions. To obtain a green card for myself and my parents. Every time Jacob has been very knowledgeable about our situations and kept us informed thru the whole process. He is always willing to answer all of your questions and it is very helpful that you can always reach him thru email and he will respond very quickly. He is very straightforward and will let you know if you have possibilities of obtaining what you are looking for. I would highly recommend Jacob to others.

As a person that works with lawyers, I want to recommend Jacob for you. Jacob helped me with E2 visa application, Build my LLC company and guide me for all the process.
Jacob is very different from most attorneys I've deal with in the past, at first he is a human, good human, helpful, positive, and just gave me the peace of mind that I needed in the process.
When I go to the interview, the immigration officer said that my file was extremely perfect!
I got my E2 Visa for two years and I want to thank Jacob for being the best lawyer!

I feel very very blessed to have had Jacob and his team work on my case. I came across Jacob's website online while searching for a new attorney. I had talked with my parents attorney who they have been working with for over 20 years and he said filing my case by mail was not an option and that overall my case looked complicated given my situation. However, I consulted with Jacob and he said it was indeed possible!! His ideas on how to proceed gave me hope. He handled my very complicated work Visa case flawlessly! My case was approved just a few days ago! I am so relieved and genuinely happy. Had I chosen a different attorney the outcome could have been a visa denial. Jacob is very honest and knowledgable in immigration law. I recommend him, hands down!!! I hope to work with him in the near future as well! Jacob I will always be thankful for your assistance.

I would definitely recommend the entire team of the law offices of Jacob to anyone seeking help in immigration matters. I've worked with a different attorney in the past on my NIW application and after three denials, years of wasted time and money, there are no words to describe my frustration and disappointment. Then a family friend recommended Jacob's firm. I was instantly impressed with his knowledge and professional demeanor. He is very straightforward and his attention to detail helped tremendously in making my case a success. I am looking forward to working with him on the next steps of a long journey towards permanent residency!

Having initially spoken with Jacob regarding my potential H1B petition (free of charge), I decided to acquire his services instead of hiring several other immigration lawyers I had talked with (the main reason being his deep knowledge of the immigration laws and his patience with my probing questions). Right from the start, Jacob was always very realistic and honest regarding my chances of gaining the visa and this was important to me as other lawyers had said it should not be a problem in a way that made me feel they were just trying to get me on board and get my money. Jacob's assistant Kate handled the majority of my case and I built up a great rapport with her. Her quick responses and general caring for my case made a big difference throughout the process. It was a bumpy ride but we got there in the end, and for having Jacob and Kate's help and guidance I could not have been more grateful! Once again, thank you guys!

Jacob is efficient, effective, diligent and professional. He makes every attempt to connect with the client and hear them out in order to best service them and their needs. Immigration issues tend to get tricky and very emotional, and Jacob tries his best to minimise drama and trauma and get the needed results.
Posted by Zaky, a Immigration client, Flag
Jacob is the ABSOLUTE BEST!! I would recommend him to any person looking for immigration services. He is by far the best immigration lawyer I have seen anywhere in the US and I have seen a lot trust me. He is not only knowledgeable but I felt that he genuinely wants to help you. He is also very communicative and keeps you informed on everything. He just helped me get my work permit and he did a really great job! Thank you very much Jacob!. I will be using his services from now on.

I have not had the pleasure of meeting Jacob but he has been reviewing my husbands case without being compensated as of yet. There are not many attorneys that would do that. If I had not found Jacob I would have probably would have paid for my attorney to file appeal after appeal which in the long run was costing me time and money. I highly recommend Jacob!

Jacob has been working on my Green Card application for a year. During the application process he was absolutely professional: made a clear action plan, explained me all steps in details. He maintained a good communication, so I always knew what the next step was in the process and what documents/forms I needed to collect or fill, and most importantly: how. Jacob and his team were always very responsive and extremely helpful to maintain quick and good progress of my case. As a result I have got my Green Card 3 months earlier as it was expected.
Jacob is the best immigration lawyer, I recommend him to anyone who has an immigration issue.

I’m very grateful to Jacob for his assistance with my J1 waiver to remove the 2 years rule. J1 waiver was supposed to be a simple process, but not in my case:… my sponsoring company didn’t want to give the letter for the waiver process and my embassy didn’t want to give their approval without that letter…. I called my sponsoring company many times and I wrote several emails, but they told me, via email, that they couldn’t give any letter for the waiver, after this response, they didn’t return any calls nor replied any of my emails… I explained this situation to the embassy, but they simply told me that “without the letter of the sponsoring company it’s not possible not get the embassy’s approvalâ€â€¦ I was in a deadlock situation… USCIS had all the documents, they were just waiting for my embassy’s letter… I was in this situation for a long time… until I found Jacob’s website and I gave him a call… he took care of everything!!!... he got the letter from the sponsoring company and the approval letter from my embassy and, after a few months my J1 WAIVER was APPROVED!!!... I highly recommend the professional services of Jacob Sapochnick… it’s very comfortable to talk to him, because he’s a good listener and he’s always there to support you and solve your immigration issues… Thanks a lot for your assistance!!!

Jacob is very professional and I recommend him for everyone. My visa is one of the hardest to get and after filing, the Immigration did not even have a question and my visa was approved.

The situation in Mexico has become too violent so we decided to move to the USA. Jacob's advice was very good since the beginning, explaining and analyzing the several alternatives. One year later, the result is successful as I have obtained the required L1 Visa. Jacob is pragmatic, intelligent and always within reach when needed. His staff is courteous and efficient.
Posted by Ellen, a Immigration client, Flag
Jacob and his team are friendly, diligent, passionate about their work, responsive, proactive, and most of all, understanding of the emotional roller coaster immigration issues can be. They took on a very difficult case for my husband and I - an application for waiver of inadmissibility - and, after a lot of hard work, we were granted the waiver! If you are need of immigration legal services, Jacob is a game-changer. He has given my husband and I a new beginning and we are forever grateful.

Jacob and one of his Paralegals Katie were very helpful , courteaous and prompt during our application process. The immigration interview went without a glitch and the Green Card is "in the Mail".
Thanks Jacob and Katie.

My husband and I faced an immigration issue back in January and feared deportation. I called several lawyers, all with different advice, some could not help at all. Some said to leave the country even though I would face a ten year ban and then fight to overcome it from there (meaning several years of seperation from my husband).
I knew as soon as I spoke to Jacob that he was the attorney I wanted to take care of my case. He gave us several solutions to try before resorting to leaving the country and having to be apart.
At our first meeting, Jacob was very personable yet professional. He was sympathetic to our situation but also very honest about our options and what the outcome may be. Right away I knew he would do everything he could to help our case.
This morning I recieved my green card in the mail. My husband and I couldn't be happier. Knowing all of our our visa issues are taken care of is a huge weight off our shoulders. Best of all I can now go back to England to visit the friends and family I have been missing for the past 2 years.
My husband and I are extremely grateful to Jacob and his team. Thanks to their hard work, knowledge and dedication I am now a permanent resident of the USA :)

In my quest for getting a US Visa, I had numerous meetings with many Immigration lawyers and all I was hearing from them was how arduous , difficult and time consuming it would be and no guaranteed result. Furthermore it would be very costly…I had the chance to meet with Jacob Sapochnick and I signed with him, trusting that he was the one. Effectively, he made it happen in a very professional and timely manner and at a lower cost than other immigration lawyers. Thanks Jacob for you professionalism and thorough knowledge of your field! I will recommend you anytime

Highly recommend Jacob and the team at this office. As others have noted, they were very straightforward, the value of the service is exceptional, there were no hidden fees or costs, and at the end of the process my goal was achieved - I obtained my visa. The local service they offer in driving you to the border to accompany you is great, especially if you are unaware of the location and process. I managed to fly into San Diego in the morning, obtain the visa with their help, and fly out the same day. I can sincerely give my recommendation to Jacob and his team.

Jacob is very knowledgeable, honest and relentless. We received not one, but TWO denials in my wife's immigration case. After our second denial our hope was all but gone. Jacob, however, continued his efforts just in case. It was a long story, but due to his efforts we ultimately received my wife's Green Card, against all odds. He is a great lawyer and very fine human being. Highly recommend. Thank you, Jacob (you can figure out who is writing this review!)

The wait for my visa to be approved was agonizing to say the least, as what I thought would be a 2 month wait turned into a 6 month wait. However, during this time, it was reassuring to me to be able to call and speak directly with Jacob, or to email him any questions/concerns that I had, and for him to email me back promptly. His knowledge in the field is admirable and he really put me at ease during a stressful time.
If you are looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable and responsive lawyer, then I would certainly recommend Jacobs' services to you.
Posted by Trevor, a Immigration client, Flag
Great service. Very fast turn around. All in all, I would recommend Jacob to anyone looking to immigrate themselves or a family member.
My whole process only took a little over 3 months. From the initial interview with Jacob to getting my wifes permanent status.Thanks Jacob!!

I availed of Mr.Sapochnick's legal expertise recently for attending an ICE interview and he handled it with elan in his cool self assured way.
He was kind enough to agree to see me even without prior appointment (considering the urgency of my case) and came up with good questions for ICE on my behalf.Very professional,personalized and accessible legal service.I strongly recommend him for anyone facing the prospect of ICE interview.

The BEST immigration attorney I ever had. He did an outstanding job on my green card. Without his invaluable assistance, I would have never gotten my Green Card. I recommend him and continue to do that for anyone who needs immigration assistance!
Simply the BEST!!!

I have been working with Jacob and his staff for over 2 years and I am extremely happy with his professionalism, hard work, dedication to each case and response time. Jacob has processed many H1B, H3 and E3 visas for my clients and each case is treated as it is his only case. Jacob and his team are very friendly and easy to work with. Jacob is extremely understanding, helpful and quick on answering questions and has excellent patients. I send Jacob many questions per day with many cases and I have never felt more comfortable with an attorney than I do with Law Office of Jacob Sapochnick. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing immigration assistances and I look forward to continuing working with him for many years to come.

My work visa transfer had just been denied, and I needed to find a way to remedy the situation very quickly. I spoke to over 10 different lawyers, and Jacob was by far the best. Once I retained his services, my work visa was approved in exactly six days! Jacob's team was awesome about communication and knew exactly what they were doing. I highly, highly recommend Jacob.

A friendly, profenssional, responsive, trustworthy, and knowledgeable lawyer that anyone would need for immigration issues. I found Mr. Jacob Sapochnick on the internet when I was looking for a lawyer to help me with my I-485 case. My I-485 case got complecated after some issues with required medical exam. At first I was hesitated to hire him who I found on the internet without anybody's recomendation. After calling up a list of lawyers from some organizations recomendations, I decided to give hime a try. I am glad I did. I just received a notice from USCIS that I will receive my green card in 30 days. I highly recommend Mr. Jacob Sapochnick to anyone who is looking for a lawyer in the immigration issues.

My Citizenship was about to be denied, my previous lawyer abandoned me, I was in a bind. Jacob Sapochnick was recomended by a friend and he delivered great results. He immediately had a plan for the response to the intent to deny the Citizenship, did so much research and prepared an excellent brief to counter the denial. The case was approved in 30 days and I am now scheduled for the oath ceremony, this is one good lawyer.

Jacob is the best. I was in real need to get a problem resolved with immigration, I searched every place I could and nobody knew how to help. When I got in touch with Jacob, he knew what to do and got it done. He is the best.

Working with Jacob on my immigration process was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Not only is his level of expertise second to none, but I also found Jacob to be a lawyer who makes you feel you are his only client:
He'll spare no time explaining you the process up to the finest detail and answer all of your questions with patience.
He'll frequently follow up with you and update you with the status and progress of your case.
He'll clearly guide you and give you the right recommendations everytime.
My first H1-B visa was approved within less than a month, my H1-B transfer to a second job was approved in 6 days, and now I am already at the final stage of my greencard, as I have just been certified by the Department of Labor under the new "PERM" system in a record time of 5 weeks!!!
If you want to make your immigration a good experience and done right - I don't see why would you go anywhere else!
