Amazing!!!

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.

I'm So Glad To Have Found Sarah!

I applied for permanent residency. My case was quite complicated and I didn't have a hope because a lot of expert lawyers said it was a weak case. Sarah guided me through the process and reviewed all my documents carefully. She kept me informed along the way and my case was processed and approved su...ccessfully. There is something reassuring about dealing with the best of legal talent,Sarah. Her ability to always have a ready answer on hand to even the most complex questions is astounding. She gives more than you pay for. She owns the client's problem and does everything possible to help the client succeed. The time line and sequence of events based on my experience with Sarah evolved exactly the way she said. No surprise-Peace of mind. Thank you Sarah! You went beyond the call of duty and made my dreams come true.

Excellence and professionalism

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.

Great lawyer, very trustworthy and resourceful

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.

Help with H1B visa

Sarah Edgecomb helped me get my visa, which was delayed for a mistake in the Department of State. I´m a recognized professional on my field (biomedical science), with an awesome job offer in a prestigious hospital in NY, but was unable to start my job due to a mistake in the Department of State. I mu...st say that the way the Department of State dealt with my case was really terrible, and Sarah Edgecomb dealt with them, gathered all the documents that I required from my employer (I was, of course, out of the country), made calls, and solved the situation. She also kept me calm and confident (I really though this was not going to work out!). I´m really grateful to her and I would definitely recommend her to anyone with an immigration problem. I wouldn´t be working in my dream job right now without her help!
