Hired Attorney James A. Bach

To find a suitable lawyer for my EB-1B application, I researched several attorneys listed on the State Bar of California and met with a few of them. Ultimately, I chose James' firm due to their extensive experience in this green card category and a particularly insightful first consultation with James. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made. James and Siobhan, an Associate Attorney, demonstrated a deep understanding of the intricacies of the EB-1B requirements and provided a thorough analysis of my application's strengths and weaknesses. They were consistently responsive, supportive, and impartial throughout the process. Their consultations and meticulous efforts in preparing the petition were crucial in securing my approval.

My brother was in desperate need to show proof of his American citizenship as he had no documents to prove it so he could get social security and much needed health benefits
James was able to help him very quickly and my brother cannot move on with his life
I knew we were in good hands from the beginning. I highly recommend him and his practice

I'm very happy to have found and retained James for my visa issues. My case was not a straightforward one, but because of his in-depth knowledge, James was able to get me my work visa.

The best thing about Jim is his equanimity. That is a very important trait to have in your attorney, particularly when dealing with immigration cases that have a span of nearly five years and run into(inevitable procedural)bumps along the way. I guess, it is a mark of Jim's depth of knowledge of the law and the extent of his experience.
