Absolutely Aweful experience

As a company owner, it’s ansoultely that I decided to use him as the attorney for my employees H1B application. His asssistants were not good at English and disclosed my company’s confidential information after I repeated told her not to. After 5 month, our case of a H1B transfer was denied because n...ot enough documents and not enough justifications. This is absolutely disaster and their attitude is so negative. I will never ever use them.

It is unfortunate that this H-1B application was denied. As we have with more than 1,000 clients since New Weiming was established, we work closely with all of our clients throughout the petition process to help them succeed. That's why we have one of the best approval rates in the business - near 100%. As with all cases, there are many variables involved, including those we cannot control. When challenges arise, however, we always offer to remedy the situation. We offered to help prepare and resubmit a modified H-1B application for this client with a discounted fee and we provided additional advice to the beneficiary and family members with no fee. This is not the standard in the industry - we provide these benefits because we are dedicated to our client's needs. Regarding this case and similar ones, we should clarify the following: (1) the USCIS scrutinizes H-1B applications more than before. In fact, published data shows that the denial rates for H-1B applications increased significantly in 2017; (2) legally there is no H-1B "transfer"; in this case, the beneficiary is currently not in H-1B visa status; (3) we did not disclose any confidential information. Moreover, the company owner almost never contacted us while the beneficiary contacted us several times a day. We are obliged to inform the basic H-1B requirements, including timeline, to the beneficiary; and, (4) My "assistants" actually hold Ph.D. and Master's degrees from highly reputable universities in the United States. Finally, we pride ourselves on the extra care we take with our non-native English speaking clients to ensure their materials are correct and meet USCIS' standards.

Speedy, excellent service

I used the new Weiming Law group for my EB1-A application. We started preparing my I-140 application in early January, and had it filed in mid February, and approved soon afterwards. The whole process was very smooth and quick; the staff was professional and helpful. I fully recommend them for anyon...e who wants to hire a lawyer for their EB1-A application.

Professional, knowledgeable, and always email-reachable.

I hired Dr. Cai to prepare my EB1A immigration petition back in 2015 based on recommendations from several friends. The preparation took about 2-3 months, and with Dr. Cai's help my I-140 got approved within a week. After that he continuously offered multiple free consultations during my application... of I-485. Now with a green card, I'm working for a dream company in US, and I greatly appreciate Dr. Cai for his help. My case was not one of those strong ones, and I have been turned down by three other attorneys before I got in touch with Dr Cai. He evaluated my case for free, performed thorough analysis, proposed strategies, and agreed to take my case. I prepared a research summary, based on which he drafted 6 recommendation letters, and a petition letter. All those documents were written professional and persuasive. I truly believe with strong backgrounds in both science and immigration law, Dr Cai is definitely one of the top immigration lawyers in this country. Finally what really separate him from other lawyers and make him the best, is that he cares about his clients. He is reachable via email and always gets back to the clients with an answer, a solution, or suggestions within 24 hours. Since the approval of my case, I have recommended Dr Cai to many friends, and some of them have already got green cards with Dr Cai's help. I hope my review will be helpful to many other people.

Superb immigration lawyer - helped my EB1 petition

I hired Dr. Cai and his team to help me with my immigrant petition under Sec. 203 (1)(a). Overall, I had a VERY pleasant experience working with Dr. Cai and I am extremely happy and completely satisfied with Dr. Cai and his team's service. During the intake conversation, Dr. Cai gave me fairly co...ncrete petition strategy as well as a bunch of helpful advise as to how to improve my background and increase the petition successful chance. Dr. Cai is definitely on top of every immigrant petition topic, and he was able to point out where my strength lies and where I should continue to improve upon in future, in order to make my profile stronger to qualify the EB1 category. Dr. Cai also walked me through the steps i should anticipate down the road if I decided to work with them in my immigrant petition. I did not feel any pressure at all and instead, i was kinda touched by Dr. Cai's absolutely candid opinion regarding my case and his friendly and genuine suggestions. Believe, this is something NOT common to be found in every attorney. Almost without any hesitation, I decided to have Dr. Cai represent me and help me with my immigrant petition. Dr. Cai has solid science training background and so does his team, which consists of many talented assistants with either science or engineering degree. This helped a lot in drafting my petition letter, as they were able to understand my research work easily and quickly capture the key points in each of my publication. Dr. Cai's team is responsible for drafting up-to-six recommendation letters in support of each petition. Please do the research yourself - immigration attorneys do NOT normally draft letters for their clients (most of the time, they only provide template asking client to put together something themselves and they would only "polish" afterwards) Dr. Cai not only drafted letters, but also tried his best to accommodate every single request that I asked and were always willing to accept if it makes sense. Any attorney would easily charge you ~$1,500-$2,000 solely for the recommendation letters, however, these are all included in Dr. Cai service. The six letters themselves are worth at least 1/3 - 1/2 of the total legal fee else where. Moreover, Dr. Cai's team is very efficient and ALWAYS stays ahead of schedule during my petition preparation process. I would highly recommend Dr. Cai's team and i guarantee, you won't regret doing so. Dr. Cai even offered "full refund" for qualified individuals if your petitions get denied eventually. So it is really risk-free! I got my petition approved in 7 days, and I am very pleased with Dr. Cai's service.

Excellent services for my EB1A I140 and I485 cases

I just got my green card this week. I do appreciate the helps from Dr. Cai and his team. When I was hesitate to apply green card through Eb1a, my previous coworker recommended Dr. Cai to me. After connection with Dr. Cai, I follow his guidance and suggestions to collect the basic documents. He alwa...ys response me very quickly through email. He always update documents very quickly through dropbox. My cases were processed in TSC. My I-140 was approved on the 7th day after received without any REF, and my I-485 was approved in the 11th month after received without any REF. His high quality service impressed me. I would like to highly recommend Dr. Mangmang Cai as your attorney.
