Testimonials
“The podcast and online course made me realize that I am talented, and I do have a chance to perhaps secure a EB1-A in the future. Sophie gives a lot of talented immigrants immense resources and help at a low cost – something which most lawyers would not – so all my gratitude to her.”
“Very good experience! I applied for a NIW green card,. Without them, in this particularly challenging time, sure that the result would have been different, btw I have been approved.”*
“The visa type that I had to apply for has a complex set of criteria. I cannot imagine that the petition would have been successful without the support and continued hard work of the Founder Law team!”
