Sarah Edgecomb

I am an experienced attorney, and when I have run into particularly complex problems over the years that involve immigration law I go to Sarah for a consultation. She has not only an encyclopedic understanding of immigration law, but is extremely knowledgeable about current (and potentially future ch...anges) in the field. I recommend her to anyone who asks me for help with any kind of immigration work.

I recently got an O-1 VISA with an extraordinary ability in the sciences and Sarah exclusively handled the submission for me. She is an amazing immigration lawyer and I will absolutely ask her for Green card later. Sarah’s processing was so speedy that I have got it within one month since we submitte...d. Sarah also has keen insight to evaluate key requirements of the O-1. It made me optimistic for getting the VISA and feel comfortable. She carefully reviewed the documents including papers, articles, and certifications and tried to find more things which I overlooked. It was great to see her for the work. So I will strongly suggest her to my friends who need VISA. Thank you, Sarah, so much again.

Sarah assisted me in a tax case with the IRS. I am a Spanish postdoc working in a hospital in Manhattan. In my case the issue was that I should have been included in the Spanish-U.S treaty for Student and Trainees by my institution which would have allowed me to be tax-free while I was paid by a fel...lowship as indicated in the treaty. Neither my institution or the IRS recognized my fellowship as a fellowship but they misclassified it as “income for personal services”, which does not qualify me for a total tax exception under the treaty. Sarah has a lot of experience working with scientists, which is a big advantage because she is familiar with a lab structure and function. Sarah believed in my case from the beginning. She was extremely professional. She did everything in her power to push the case forward, always keeping me informed and answering my questions. After much work and effort, we won the case after the appeal thanks to Sarah’s persistence and excellence. Hiring Sarah for my tax case was the best thing I could have done.

Sarah helped me get a waiver of the J-1 two-year home residence requirement. It was a really complicated case and a few other very experienced lawyers said not to bother because it was too difficult. But Sarah did not give up. She prepared an amazing case that made it impossible for the State Departm...ent/USCIS to deny the waiver. My waiver was accepted and now I can remain in the USA and continue with my career, and I was then able to apply for a spousal green card which she also helped me with. She's incredibly resourceful and so nice to work with. She delivers in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend her.
