knowledgable, affordable and innovative counsel for complex immigration issues

I contacted Sarah for a weird case where my immigration status could have been at stake. Before contacting Sarah, I had reached out to multiple attorneys, but none of them could provide me with any creative solution to my problem. Sarah was the first one to suggest that she had an innovative idea abo...ut my case. She listened to me very carefully, logged all relevant information, painfully parsed through all the evidence I had, and then represented them in a way that was true to the incidents but also enforced my position. She also acted on the evidence quite promptly, relieving me of all the anxieties that I had to prepare my case in a time-sensitive manner. She was also extremely sympathetic to my situation, offering me the time and space to collect all the evidence that took me quite a bit of excavation of troublesome incidents from the past. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable about immigration laws, very meticulous in her work, responds very promptly and does not charge for every single minute one needs to consult for. Overall, I feel extremely grateful for what she did for me and how she saved my case. I would definitely recommend her counsel and would vouch aggressively that her expertise is a natural choice for a quick, reliable and affordable solution for complex immigration issues.

Excellent lawyer

Sarah is super helpful and always responds to my emails/calls really quickly. I applied for my H1B through Sarah. The first year attempting it, I contacted Sarah quite last minute but she made it work and was super accommodating. Throughout the process, whenever I had questions, she was always very p...atient in answering all of them. Immigration is stressful on its own and I'm glad Sarah was there to help!

Xiao Qian Mu managed my case excellently!

Xiao Qian Mu was my lawyer who helped me get my H1B visa 2 years ago. She was thinking carefully when she took care of my case. My company is a start-up and don't have many employees, however she did a great paperwork, and we won and got approved with out RFE. I was very lucky to have her as my lawye...r.

Problem solver! Very personable lawyer!

We went to Sarah (Xiao Qian) Mu when our green card application got into some unexpected trouble. Given the USICS complex system and policies, we were totally lost. Sarah is very patient unlike other lawyers I met before. She gave us a very clear analysis and suggestions. In the end, we went with her... approach. She got us green card 3 months earlier than expected.

Intelligent lawyer with full of experience

Sarah Mu is a very dilligent, trust-worthy lawyer. She got this keen instinct where she could identify the issue precisely, and I believe that is due to her years of work experience and practice in this area. She did an excellent job on my H1B petition and got me approved quickly, also ported my H1 t...o my new employer on a timely fashion. I would absolutely recommend her on any type of immigration issues if you have one.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
