Good service

Sarah is a very patient lawyer who helped me apply for my green card. My case is very complicated and I need a lot of materials to prove my case is true. During the processing period, She helped me to organize all the paperwork, pointed out the things I had left behind and the areas I need to be awar...e during interview. Thanks for the help of Sarah, I can quickly get my ten-year green card after the interview. If you ever need an immigration attorney, definitely Sarah is your first choice!

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.

Mr

Sarah is a professional and very caring lawyer. She's been very helpful for getting my h1b transfer and greencard application all approved. She is able to handle complicated cases and take care of many requests from our side and USCIS. Overall, very satisfied with the experience and I would recommend... more people to get help from Sarah.

Amazing

Lawyer Mu is very professional and very efficient. We appreciated to her strong support to help us to get H-1B approved in an almost impossible tight time. That was the first time we found a good candidate who needs H-1B, then we realized that only 10 days left for the application. If we cannot make... it this year we have to wait for one more year. We tried to contact several lawyers and most of them were hesitated due to tight time. Mu explained clearly to us about the whole process and told us what the critical things are and what the possible risks are. The critical path is that job position should pass LCA verification first and then USCIS suitcase, which normally takes 5-7 days without guarantee, excluding the case that authority requires supplement material. When we were worrying about that, Mu brought us confidence and helped us prepare for documents in a few days. The result is a success. No supplement required for LCA, everything well prepared and the application arrived USCIS on time for H1B suitcase. Fortunately, the case was selected from the pool. Even more amazing, after a short period we informed the beneficiary was selected, H1B approved. No RFE. Nothing to worry about. The success of H1B seems to be already in our hand at the beginning. Thank lawyer Mu's for her help. That's the best achievement we got this year in our HR department.
