good job

I ran my own solicitor's practice back in Manchester for years, and when my husband's job brought us to Austin, I decided to open a legal consulting practice here myself under an E-2 visa. Before we found this firm, we tried handling the petition on our own. Big mistake. We got completely stuck t...rying to prove my investment was "substantial enough," and honestly had no clue how to explain funds transferred over from the UK in a way USCIS would actually accept. Once Elizabeth and her team took over, it was a totally different experience. They reworked my business plan, sorted out the investment timeline, and finally made the whole source-of-funds thing make sense on paper. What felt like a confusing mess before suddenly felt manageable. Approved in under three months, no RFE, no drama. Honestly don't know how I would've gotten through this without them.

Amazing Lawyer

I applied for my I-140 through my employer in 2022. I compared a couple of law firms at the time and ultimately chose the Law Offices of Sabrina Li because I had a much better experience communicating with their team from the start. The whole process was very smooth. The team explained each step c...learly, told me what documents I needed, and was always quick to respond when I had questions. They were also very thorough with my recommendation letters and research statement and helped me through several rounds of revisions. My I-140 was approved in about eight months. Overall, I had a great experience with the team. They were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for help with an employment-based immigration case.

Recommendated Lawyer

My cousin recommended the Law Offices of Sabrina Li after my company had layoffs and my H-1B transfer suddenly became urgent. I was pretty stressed since I'd never dealt with an immigration lawyer before, but they made the whole process easy to understand and got everything filed quickly. They even c...aught an issue on my old paperwork that I had no idea about. My petition got approved with no problems. Already recommended them to two coworkers who have renewals coming up.

O1B

Used them for my O-1B as a stunt coordinator and honestly couldn't be happier. Spent a few years working on productions in China so a bunch of my paperwork - contracts, award stuff, festival records - was in Chinese, and I was dreading dealing with that on top of everything else. They just took c...are of it, no chasing anyone down, no headaches on my end. Had an RFE come up partway through and I won't lie, it added a good chunk of time - they called me to go over what additional evidence USCIS wanted, and we ended up gathering more documentation and letters to strengthen the case. Took some back and forth over a few weeks, but they stayed on top of it the whole time and explained why each piece mattered. Whole process ended up being close to 9 months with the RFE factored in. Worth it though - these people know what they're doing and actually make you feel like you're in good hands. Would 100% recommend, already told a couple friends in the industry to reach out to them.

Thank you for the help

I just got my EB1C approved and I'm still buzzing!! I've been running our Shanghai office as Regional Director for almost 8 years, and when the company decided to bring me back to head up the new U.S. division, I honestly had no idea how much paperwork an EB1C needs. Org charts, HR records, proof... I actually had real decision-making authority and wasn't just a title on paper... it felt endless. Attorney Elizabeth and her team made everything so clean and professional. Every document lined up perfectly, nothing felt inconsistent, and the officer clearly had zero questions. Approval came through last week and I legitimately yelled out loud at my desk If you're an executive even thinking about this path, don't waste time anywhere else. Thank you a million times!!

"I have known and worked with Xiang (Sabrina) Li since 2013 and she is one of the sharpest attorneys I know. She runs a very busy practice so she gets to the heart of the matter quickly and won't waste your time, and can be very assertive in professional settings such as in open court. Many attorneys don't have that "trial lawyer" personality and you can be comforted that she does and won't be easily intimidated."
