Stay with Me through All My Immigration Status and Make Me Green Now

My long journey for Green card is done today. It was a hard time emotionally and mentally to me but wasn’t a hard time processing for my GC at all because of Jacob and his team, Kate and Linda. When I got the welcome letter from USCIS today, I twisted my cheek to check if this is true. I met J...acob in 2008 first time when I was a student with F1 visa through recommendation of my American friend who had gotten help from Jacob for his wife’s Green card. Jacob suggested me possible options to stay in the U.S and his advice was so informative, legal, and realistic. At the moment, I was not in hurry to change my status, so asked him about general immigration issues. Two years later 2010, with my graduation and OPT, I was in urgent need of immigration lawyer. Therefore, I asked my HR manager to get recommendation for the lawyer because she had gotten employment base GC. She recommended Jacob.. Same lawyer??? Right. Honestly, I’m very picky, skeptical, and hyper cautious in everything. Even though people around me highly recommended Jacob, I tried to meet couple of lawyers. My final decision was Jacob because nobody gave clear and realistic answers like Jacob even they said constantly “No worries! I guarantee it!!” I started my H1B with Jacob and Kate who is an immigration lawyer too. Jacob conducted my H1B with the big picture, Kate proceeded details. She was an awesome person and the best warm-hearted lawyer I have ever met and I will never forget her. Without premium processing, my H1B was approved in 2months. When I looked at my H1B packet, I was so impressed by their details and preparation without any mistake or missing. In 2013, I started my GC with Jacob and his staff, Linda again. Linda is a senior paralegal with over 20years experience, very professional. Moreover, she made me throw away anxiety about my GC because I was going to prepare documents even brought some to the office in case of RFE but she clearly said “You don’t have to do”. She was right. Submitting forms for I-140 with premium processing, combo card, and I-485, all of them were approved in 4months. Needless to say, Jacob is the best immigration lawyer, and his team is incredibly perfect with great communication and keeping informed every procedure. I never got any audit, RFE, or delay. Especially, if you are very picky, skeptical, and hyper cautious person like me, go with Jacob and his team, you never regret it. Kayla

THE BEST IMMIGRATION OFFICER IN SAN DIEGO AND USA

I first came to know Jacob while I was a research scientist in La Jolla, San Diego and then moved to Maryland in Sept. 2010. I was confident in his professional expertise and decided that he is the best immigration officer to handle for my legal permanent residence application (EB1 and EB2). I got a ...superb support not only from him, but also from Andrew J. Desposito, Attorney at Law and other stuff members at his Law offices. Though I am far away in Maryland and was communicating by e-mail and phone, his professional advice was superb and comforting. Initially, my EB1 application was rejected and I felt really bad about it. But he came up with an amazing solution and turned around my application to go for national interest waiver (EB2). During all these periods, Andrew and Jacob showed an excellent professional support to write all the letters and respond to all my questions immediately by e-mail and phone. Finally, my NIW case has been approved and received permanent legal residence for me and other 4 family members. What really satisfied me was the way they handled my case is as close to their heart and worked hard to make sure I succeed in getting my dream for legal residence. When I applied for the second EB2 category, I was not charged for the service fee required and that really showed me their passion for my legal status. I do strongly recommend Jacob and Andrew for any immigration application and stay assured to receive a superb service you dream for. Wherever you live in US, you can work on your case by e-mail and phone communication as I did in this case.

A player

We asked Jacob to rescue an ongoing L1B application that was under a second RFE after an initial refusal. Jacob has done an amazing job turning this application around and getting an approval. Jacob has then handled our L1A renewal, which has also undergone intense scrutiny. Again, Jacob has defended... our case amazingly well, and we received a second approval. Having worked with several lawyers, I can say that Jacob not only has extensive theoretical knowledge of the law, but also practical experience of how it is actually interpreted, which is a lot more important. Jacob also deeply cares about your case. Immigration issues can be stressful, and knowing that your lawyer is making it a priority is also very important. We recommend him wholeheartedly.

Wonderfull experience with Jacob's office

I am really thankful to Jacob and his really skilled team. I wanted to apply for Eb2 NIW green card, but I wasnt sure my case would be strong enough or if I have a chance. Jacob was really reassuring and gave me the reassurance to prepare the application. I thus worked closely with Kate, she is NIW e...xpert lawyer in Jacob's office. She helped me through the preparation of the documentation for the application, and thanks to her and Jacob we submit a really strong case. 6 months later I received my approval notice, I was really surprised as I expected some request for additional documents. Thanks to Jacob Sapochnick's law office high skill and enthusiasm my green card application went smoothly. I can't be more grateful to Jacob, I'll recommend him and his staff to everyone looking for help in their green card application.

TN1 Visa

I purchased the TN1 Visa Expert Kit along with the services of the Law Offices of Jacob J Sapochnick. I soon realized that my case came with few challenges and decided to let Mr. Sapochnick put together my case properly. The day of my interview, I presented my file to the agent, I was asked to wait a...nd few minutes later, I had my Visa in hand. This is without even having been interviewed by anyone. Mr. Sapochnick and his team were professional, thorough, knowledgeable, responsive and most importantly Jacob and his team took the stress out of the process. For anyone who is unsure of the process, do yourself a favor and just let Jacob and his team of experts guide you.
