Linan was incredibly prompt, clear, and efficient throughout the entire process. She prepared all the documentation quickly and thoroughly, and I received my green card just six months after submitting the application. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and accountable immigration lawyer!

We strongly recommend Linan and her team. Linan is professional, efficient and patient. She helps us to proceed the applications, update the progress and answer our questions. She always respond to our email very quickly, with all the details. All our applications turn out with good results, and the whole process is quite fast and smooth. We are very happy with that. We appreciate Linan's professional work.

From the initial consultation to gathering all necessary documents and handling complex procedures, Attorney Yao was always proactive and thorough. They explained everything clearly, making sure I understood each step, and were always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication made a significant difference in achieving a successful outcome. I highly recommend Attorney Yao to anyone seeking legal assistance in immigration matters

Friends, I really recommend this lawyer! ! Because my question was relatively simple, I was answered directly when I called for consultation. But when I asked the same question at other law firms, they easily asked me to schedule a session and charged me $250. Thumbs up! Next time I have immigration needs, I’ll come to you again🩵

From the bottom of my heart, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to Linan and the entire team at YC Law Group for their exceptional service and unwavering support during my Green Card application process. Navigating the complexities of immigration law can be daunting, but Linan's expertise, attention to detail, and compassionate approach made all the difference.

Yao helped us with a few cases in the past 3 years, including H1b, H4, and EB2 applications. I'm happy to have my Eb2 140 secured along with my H1b transfer and extension approved. My husband is happy with his H4 approval as well. It's important to lay expectations beforehand with the lawyer that you work with and make sure everyone's on the same page (e.g., you would like to submit certain things by a certain date) before starting the case, and I think that's why our cases have been very smooth throughout the process. Yao has been very professional in each case, and it's great to see a short turnaround time for us because everyone involved was on top of things (e.g., we were able to provide materials in a relatively short amount of time, and we told her when we would like to get things done). Everything else in terms of the approval timeline was out of our control, but still, the process was smooth. We also set up a trust fund with Yao's help, which was smooth as well. Great communication between each case, we would recommend everyone else to work with Yao!

Attorney Yao is amazing and I can't thank her enough. She’s super responsive, responsible, and extremely knowledgeable. She made a usually daunting process feel like a breeze.

If you're looking for a lawyer who really knows her stuff, Zoey Chang is the one to call. She speaks both Mandarin and English fluently, which was a huge plus. Her advice was always straightforward and really kind, making the whole legal process way less stressful. Totally recommend her if you need a lawyer who’s both smart and approachable.

Ms Yao failed to have the capacity to help us with our family based green card application, we have not had our green card approved after 3 years of waiting while it should have taken less than 1 year for most of my friends working with other attorneys. Furthermore, when confronting our frustration, she blamed the delay on us, saying we had caused the delay and that she is withdrawing representation on us, which is completely ridiculous since we had paid her $$$$ and she is withdrawing before we even get our green card. We are startled by her irresponsibility and unprofessional reaction even til this date.

To give more details, Ms Yao caused our family based green card application to delay for at least a year due to her stubbornness and unwillingness to change and adapt to the changing immigration environment. Upon communicating our disappointment and dissatisfaction with her service, she shut us down and stopped responding to all our messages, saying her service has been delivered in full, and that she is withdrawing representation and that we can no longer ask her any questions, despite the fact that we have not received the family based green card at all and we paid $$$$ in full. Her lack of empathy for clients’ stressful situation, refusal to acknowledge her mistakes, and failure to complete her service deeply disappointed us. I do not recommend her service.

Linan helped us with our F2A visas and the process is smooth without any issues. She is a very professional immigration lawyer and provides us lots of useful guidance during the paper work. We are really happy working with her.

YC Law group handled my H1B petition and transfer, they are professional, dedicated, and proactive. I'm very satisfied with their services and would recommend them to anyone who is in need of immigration services.

I am so happy that I choose YC Law Group to file my H1B petition. My case requires more advice and attention. I have consulted many law firms over the phone and Attorney Chang makes me feel more confident about my case. She always addresses my concerns in a timely manner and provides very professional help in the preparation to avoid any unnecessary RFE. I can't thank her more to help my case approved smoothly. I highly recommend YC Law Group!

Ms Yao is a very nice and warm-hearted attorney. She gave me the great help on H1-B petition a couple of years ago and answered me a lot of H1-B or other visa questions even beyond the case. Her quick response and document preparation and patience are impressive.

Linan helped me in the past year on the Adjustment of Status case, and she has consistently delivered top notch service. I was impressed from day one through the initial free consultation.

Always prompt to reply my questions, especially those email replies are lightening fast! She is super knowledgeable about immigration cases, always very thorough - going through my materials etc.

We’re very happy to have shared this journey with YC Law Group and will soon come back for the next chapters.

Linan Yao has done my estate planning. I have been looking for a good attorney that I can trust to work on my estate planning for about 4 months. I am glad that I finally found her. She is very experienced in this area and was able to provide excellent service to create the trust for me and my wife. In terms of the overall process and time taken, it is very straightforward and efficient once you explain the goal that you want to achieve with the trust. In addition, she is also very patient in terms answering all the questions I could have so that I am freely and comfortably communicate with her. Overall, I will recommend to anyone who is going to create a trust in the future without any reservation.

Linan and her team is highly efficient, responsive, professional. She and her team did excellent jobs to pay attention to every single details. They made the entire process extremely simple to follow and easy to understand. I will retain Attorney Yao for my other immigration matter should I have another one in the future. I also highly recommend you to talk to her.

My wife and I retained Attorney Yao for our immigration matter during the pandemic. Linan and her team's professionalism and dedication were gorgeous. We first searched as many as possible Attorney Offices in Bay Area and made quick conversations with each thru phone. The one made with Linan easily stood out as speaking with her made us feel speaking with a trustful old friend and a knowledgeable mentor even though we never met. We established retainer agreement all online with high efficiency and high security, with all conditions and duties very well defined and very easy to understand. Upon providing all our supporting doc and info, Linan was able to organize all pieces into a well organized package and sent it to USCIS with no delay. During the processing time of our case, Linan regularly sync up our status whenever there was an update from USCIS. Her "lifetime" service gave us lots of time to address our real life affairs instead of spending time worrying about our case in the day to day basis. She always responded to our emails and timely request with super responsiveness. If you or your family have any immigration demands, I highly recommend Linan and her team to help you out, it is always worth doing than fighting by yourself.
