Extraordinary Service

Helen, Shine, and Ying are so responsive and professional. They are very detailed oriented and have spent time with me even on the small things to improve my case. They really care about each of their client and understand the process so well. Highly recommend their team!

H-1B amendment

I've had the pleasure of working with Ms. Cao on a complex H-1B amendment case, navigating challenging personal circumstances. Her prompt, professional, and compassionate approach was instrumental in the case's success. I highly recommend Ms. Cao for her exceptional expertise and dedication.

They care about your case more than you do – Highly Recommended!

I've had the privilege of working with Ms. Cao and her exceptional team over the past two years during a very stressful and uncertain time in my career. I faced a challenging situation at work that required both legal insight and strategic planning. From the beginning, they took the time to understan...d my situation and developed a thoughtful, strategic approach that helped me navigate it smoothly. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to take the necessary actions and ensured that I received the benefits I was entitled to. I successfully secured my PERM, I-140, and H1-B lottery during the challenging situation. Later, Ms. Cao's team also assisted me in transitioning my visa status from H1-B to B2. Usually, the transition should be easily approve. However, in 2025, the situation changes, affected by the political environment. After five months of submitting the transition, I received an RFE. The team proactively pushing me to collect the necessary documents in order to reply to the RFE on time. Obviously, they care about their client's case so much! They reply the RFE with great care and efficiency and I successfully made the transition from H1-B to B2 under such uncertain environment. Besides Ms. Cao, I would like to give special thanks to Charlie for his expertise and experience, and Jacqueline, Sofia, and Shine for their whole hearted involvement in my cases. I highly recommend the team to anyone in need of employment and/or immigration legal support.

Top-Tier Immigration Attorney – Highly Recommended!

Navigating the U.S. immigration process can be overwhelming, but Attorney Cao and her team made every step seamless and stress-free. From my initial H-1B petition and extensions to my PERM, I-140 Filing, etc. (2019–2025), their expertise and professionalism were evident throughout. They are incredibl...y responsive, detail-oriented, and proactive in addressing potential challenges before they arise. What sets Attorney Cao apart is her deep knowledge of immigration law and her commitment to her clients’ success. She and her team take the time to explain complex legal processes clearly, ensuring that you feel confident and well-informed at every stage. With them, you’re not just another case—you’re a valued client receiving the highest level of service. If you’re looking for an immigration attorney who genuinely cares, is highly skilled, and will advocate for you with diligence, I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Cao and her team!

Highly Recommend Attorney Ying Cao

I received a RFE for my H-1B case. My attorney just told me my case was weak and it would be denied. I was panicking. I found attorney Ying Cao through a friend referral. Attorney Ying Cao took my case, reviewed and analyzed my case and told me that I have a good chance to overcome the RFEs. She... worked on my case thoroughly and turned it in within two weeks. The H-1B case was approved within 7 days. Even my boss told me that I found an excellent attorney after my boss got to know her by working with Attorney Ying Cao to gather the company information for my case. And my boss decided to let Attorney Ying Cao take over his company’s all immigration matters and corporate matters. She not only helps us handle the legal matter, she also helps us analyze the whole situation so that I can have a peaceful mind.
