I had an excellent experience working with Lin on my O-1B. The team was highly professional, responsive, and thorough throughout the entire process. My petition was approved without an RFE. Highly recommended!
I worked with Lin on my O-1B right after graduating, with the OPT clock running. The team handled the parts I was most nervous about directly, and they even dug up an old write-up about my thesis film that I had completely forgotten existed. Approved in 15 business days with premium processing, no RFE. Truly grateful.
I want to write a longer review because I read a lot of these before choosing a lawyer and the short ones didn't tell me much.
I write music for games. I have a few things to my name, but two firms told me to do an O-1 first and 'build up' for EB-1A. Zhou was the only one who told me EB-1A was viable now, and more importantly told me exactly why, item by item. Zhou also told me which of my 'achievements' would not help, which I appreciated more than the flattery I got elsewhere.
The process took about four months from signing to filing. The questionnaires are detailed and honestly a lot of work, but every question had a reason, and every recommendation letter was drafted by the attorney, not by me. We filed with premium processing and it was approved on the first try, no RFE.
If you're in game audio and have been told you're 'not there yet', get a second opinion from someone who actually knows the field.
I had a great experience working with Zhou on my O-1B. My work is mostly uncredited studio work, and my biggest worry was proving what I personally did. Zhou got detailed letters from the people I'd actually worked under, backed them up with records, and put it all together in a way that made sense. The team was organized, responsive, and very thorough. Approved. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in film or animation considering an O-1.
I was moving from a contract role to a full-time studio position and needed an O-1B instead of waiting on the H-1B lottery. Lin coordinated with the studio's HR very smoothly, including walking them through what they were signing up for, which they were nervous about at first. Approved. The studio has since used Lin for another hire.
我是学声乐的,只有一年 OPT,时间非常紧。周律师第一次沟通就给我倒排了整个时间线,什么时候该做什么写得清清楚楚,我照着走就行。演出合同和行程这些琐碎的东西也是她帮我一项一项对好的。O-1B 加急批了,没有补材料。
O-1B 批了,没有补材料。周律师团队回复很快,问题基本当天回。有一个环节我自己在官网上绕了好久都没搞明白,律师帮我对接了一下就解决了。感谢整个团队。
我做的大多是装置和交互作品,很难往常规的框里套,一开始很怕做不了。林律师没有硬凑,而是把我的毕业展、几次群展和一篇专访重新组织了一遍,思路很清楚。O-1B 加急批了,没有补材料。整个过程沟通一直很透明,每一步在干什么我都知道。
林律师团队非常专业。我是刚毕业的,作品不少但奖项一般,自己心里其实没什么底。他们帮我找到了两段我自己都没想到能用上的经历,一下子就觉得有戏了。O-1B 加急 14 天批下来,没有补材料。问题基本当天回,全程很安心。
Approved. Lin's team was professional and responsive throughout, and they already knew what the events and competitions in my field were worth without me having to explain. Highly recommend.
O-1B approved. Thank you Zhou and team.
EB-1A 通过了。林律师写材料的方式和我之前咨询过的律所完全不一样,条理特别清楚,我一个外行读完都觉得很有说服力。人也很耐心,问什么都会认真答。
I had an excellent experience with Lin on my O-1B. I run my own small label with no big house behind me, and I wasn't sure that was enough. Lin was very direct about what was strong and what wasn't, and had me fix a couple of gaps before we filed instead of hoping for the best. That honesty is exactly what I wanted. Approved with premium processing. I'd highly recommend Lin to other independent designers.
O-1B 一次批。周律师团队的问卷设计得很细,我照着填就知道该准备什么,不用自己瞎猜。有一次演讲的经历我以为没用,结果被用得很好。推荐。
Very smooth. Zhou answered same day almost every time, and the checklist made it obvious what to collect. O-1B for animation approved with PP.
I had a great experience with Lin for my EB-1A. The petition was built around my actual festival record and press, not a template, and Lin was honest about which parts carried weight and which didn't. We went back and forth several times on the recommendation letters until each one said something specific. Approved without an RFE with premium processing. I plan to go back to them for the next step once my date is current.
I want to add a longer one because most reviews here are three lines.
I'm an animation director, about ten years in, with a handful of festival awards, some press, and a couple of judging gigs. I was on an O-1B done by a different firm and wanted to move to EB-1A. Lin's first call was the most honest assessment I've had: he told me which parts were solid, which parts needed work (half my press was about the studio, not about me), and what the outcome would depend on.
What followed was about four months. The questionnaires are long but every question had a purpose. Lin drafted every recommendation letter himself and went back and forth with me until each one said something specific instead of generic praise. He also cut about a third of what I wanted to include because it didn't add anything, which made me nervous at the time and turned out to be right.
Filed with premium processing, approved in 11 business days, no RFE. Now waiting on the priority date. If you're in animation and have been told you need a big-name award to do EB-1A, you don't.
EB-1A 一次通过,没有补过任何材料。我是拍照片的,手里的东西不少但很散,林律师把它们理得特别清楚,我自己读完都觉得有说服力。推荐信是他一封一封写的,每封侧重点都不一样,不是套模板。整套材料很厚,但翻起来逻辑很顺。现在等排期,后面的绿卡手续还找他。
O-1B approved on day 12 with premium processing, no RFE. I only had a few months of OPT left, so speed mattered a lot, and Lin's team never wasted a day. Everything I sent in came back organized, and I always knew what was next.
Professional, responsive, thorough. O-1B for fashion approved with PP.
Lin was very clear from the first consultation about what my case had and what it lacked. Most of my work goes out under my employer's name, so the weak point was material about me personally. Lin gave me a short, concrete list of things to fix, and it took about two months to close that gap. Filed in July, approved in August with premium processing, no RFE. Highly recommend.
I had a great experience with Lin on my EB-1A. Approved without an RFE. They were meticulous with every letter and every page, and answered every question within a day.
I had an excellent experience working with Zhou on my O-1B. What I do doesn't fit neatly into any category, and Zhou figured out how to present it without me having to explain myself ten times. Approved. Highly recommended.
I worked with Lin on my O-1B two years ago and now on my EB-1A. Both approved, the EB-1A with premium processing and no RFE. For the EB-1A they rebuilt the case from scratch instead of just adding pages to the old one, which I appreciated. Their portal shows exactly what's done and what's pending, and the timeline they gave me at the start was accurate almost to the week.
I had a great experience with Lin on my O-1B for concept art. Clear instructions, fast replies, approved.
EB-1A approved, no RFE. Zhou's petition letter was long, and every page of it did something.
Lin's team handled my O-1B from start to finish while I was in my OPT grace period, which was extremely stressful. They were upfront from day one about which of my credits mattered and which didn't, so there were no surprises. Filed within five weeks of signing, premium processing, approved on day 13 with no RFE. Every message got a reply the same day. I can't thank them enough.
Zhou was precise and fast. O-1B approved. Everything I was worried about got sorted within a week.
周律师团队很靠谱,O-1B 批了。谢谢!
I had an excellent experience with Lin on my EB-1A. As an architect most of my work is credited to the firm, and the hard part was showing what I personally did. Lin knew exactly which people to ask for letters and what to ask them for, and the result was a petition that made the argument clearly. It took some time to collect everything, but it was worth it. Approved with no RFE.
O-1B approved. My worry was that everything I've made was a team project. Lin found a way to show my individual part in it. Recommended for anyone coming out of a games program.
EB-1A approved on the first filing. Zhou's team was professional and did not pad the petition. I already recommended them to two colleagues.
Efficient and precise. O-1B approved. Zhou answered emails at night more than once.
I had a great experience working with Lin on my O-1B. I'm an indie developer with no employer, and two other firms told me I'd need a studio job first. Lin said that wasn't true and explained how it could work without one. He was right. The whole thing was organized and I always got a straight answer. Approved. If you're an independent developer and have been told you can't do this on your own, get a second opinion.
Approved! O-1B for photography. Zhou and the team were professional and thorough, and the recommendation letters actually sounded like the people who signed them. Highly recommend.
I had a great experience working with Zhou on my O-1B. They were thorough in reviewing my portfolio and press and clear about what was needed. Approved. Recommend.
我做的东西很小众,之前问过的一家律所直接说做不了。周律师没有推我,反而认真研究了我的情况,把我这些年的展览、收藏和评论一条一条理清楚,连我自己看了都觉得挺像回事。有一个我最担心的环节,她也帮我找到了合适的解决办法。O-1B 加急批了,没有补材料。
Very professional. O-1B approved, PP.
EB-1A approved without RFE. Zhou and team are the best. Thank you!
Very happy with Zhou. O-1B approved in 14 business days with premium processing and no RFE.
I had a great experience working with Lin on my O-1B. As a freelancer with several clients and no single employer, I had no idea how this was supposed to work. Lin explained it in one call and then just handled it. Approved. Would definitely recommend.
I had an excellent experience with Zhou on my EB-1A. I'm a concept artist and most of what I've done is under NDA, so I honestly assumed I had nothing I could show. Zhou looked at everything I did have and found more than I expected, including things I would never have thought to include. The petition was clear and easy to follow even for me. Approved with premium processing, no RFE. Highly recommend to anyone in games or film who thinks their work doesn't count because it's confidential.
Approved! Zhou's team was extremely organized and the process was much less stressful than I expected.
O-1B approved on day 9 of premium processing. Lin's team was organized and answered fast. No RFE.
周律师帮我做的 EB-1A,一次通过,没有补材料。最打动我的是她会主动告诉我哪些东西不够硬、不要放进去。我一开始准备了一大堆报道,她筛掉了一半,理由是那些文章讲的是品牌不是我。材料精不精比厚不厚重要,这是我这次学到的。推荐信每一封角度都不一样,一看就不是套模板。
Smooth process, approved with no RFE. Lin knew exactly what performers need and handled it directly, so I didn't have to chase anyone.
I had a handful of press mentions and no real award, and honestly I wasn't sure that was enough for an O-1B. Lin told me on the first call it was doable and explained how, and that's exactly how it went. Approved with no RFE. One piece of advice for future clients: save every article about you as a dated PDF the day it comes out. It will save you weeks.
Great experience. Lin knew exactly what matters for someone in advertising, sorted through my campaign work quickly, and organized it in a way that made sense. Approved with PP, no RFE.
O-1B 批了。我是画插画的,很多手续自己完全不知道从哪下手,周律师一步一步带着我做,推荐信也是她帮忙起草的,我只需要核对。前后大概七周,比我预想的快很多。推荐。
I had an excellent experience with Zhou on my EB-1A. I have a solid exhibition and award history but almost no mainstream press, and I'd assumed EB-1A was out of reach because of that. Zhou explained why it wasn't, and built the case around what I actually had. The petition letter was written around my real work, not a template. Approved without an RFE. Truly grateful.
