Review Jacob Sapochnick

O1 VISA

Posted by

After we decided to apply for a O1 VISA, we came across Jacob Sapochnik's law office through YouTube. After a short phone with Jacob, we knew, we're in best hands for a professional Visa process. We came in contact with Mrs. Ohadi, from Jacobs team, who supported and guided us through the whole process. Her help and professionalism was beyond our expectations and leaded us successfully to our VISA. I highly recommend Jacobs law office and his team, it was truly our best decision and the way to success!

I was just approved for a 5 year E2 Visa

Posted by

I was just granted a 5 year E2 visa with the help of the Law Offices of Jacob Sapochnick. Attorney Marie and Anahita were responsible for managing the day to day of my account and I recommend them whole-heartedly to all of my friends and contacts who need help with a more complicated application. Thank you for relieving my stress and helping me through this process.

I came across Jacob’s Youtube channel recently while I was looking for an attorney to get support with an immigration case. I must admit he is very knowledgeable, reputable and reachable. It worth mentioning that his team is so professional which made the overall process very smooth. While Jacob is based in California and I live in Texas, the communication was always clear, and I’m really satisfied with the experience and the customer service provided. I highly recommend Jacob!

Review based on Nine years working with Jacob

Posted by

Jacob has put together an excellent team of professional immigration attorneys. Thanks to his brilliant strategy, we managed to open a second branch of our company in the U.S, and this year we finally received our green card! We trusted his advice all along, and it never let us down. He and his team helped us navigate multiple visa renewals, request for evidence, and surprise immigration visits. We were pleasantly surprised to have a specialized attorney for each step of the way providing crucial insights and tons of experience. Jacob got us from A to Z, and I highly recommend hiring his firm on your side.

O1 approved in one go.

Posted by

I was referred to Jacob by a friend. I applied for the O1 visa. Ms. Marie handled my case. Both Marie and Jacob have been proactive and supportive through the whole process. They were easy to access and helped me understand the nuances of the process. Marie is brilliant at preparing the application! Jacob is friendly and he steps in from time to time to overlook everything. I can now say that these are people who really want you to win. I would recommend them without a doubt! I got my O1 approved in one go!

Business visa

Posted by

My saver ! Not enough words to thank Jacob and his incredible team for a Service above and beyond expectations. Kimberly was available at any point and time for a good advice or just to hear me stress out (and I did) Jacob is extremely professional and even though he has plenty of costumers I definitely felt taken care off. The guidance and advices during the process are important and crucial for any process to succeed and Jacob’s team is excellent at that. Thank you for taking a painful process and making it bearable.

O1 Visa Application

Posted by

I highly recommend Sapochnick law firm, they made my O-1 visa case as strong as possible which got approval in less than 10 days, with no RFE and special thanks to Unica. She is very knowledgeable and was always responsive, clarifying my doubts throughout the entire process and cared about every step of the process as much as myself… Looking forward to working with you all in the future.

Jacob is Fantastic and Amazing

Posted by

I have known Jacob for Last 12 years, I have seen him being the same person when his business was small and also see him the same when his Business has been growing. He has been with me through the thick and thin of my immigration journey. He is highly knowledgeable and his staff is as knowledgeable as he is. He has never lost me a Case and Every case that i have won is a miracle. From my F-1, H-1 and now GC has been the product of his and his Staffs wisdom and knowledgeable advise. As a person he is very kind and as an attorney he will work with you. He is also very competitive and pushes himself to learn and understand new technologies which is very seldomly seen with Attorneys. I rate him as one of the best in Immigration business. Jacob is an Attorney with compassion and Great Heart towards immigrants and others. He is Simply the best. Thank you Jacob! Also my sincere thanks also goes to Jessica,Paola and Unica too. Thank you everyone
