Yao Law Group — Local services in New York

Before I start, my verdict is simply: I guarantee you will not find a better lawyer than Elektra Yao.

You need a team who will take you seriously. So I hope to give you some insight on my BEYOND positive experience with Yao Law Group.

I've been through hell and back with trying to stay in this country and work as an actress. I've done "impressive" things by immigration standard. I've worked at the top of my field. My first petition got denied, & it didn't seem to be enough when I filed my second petition & had a strong case. There were doubts from immigration all over with an RFE issued. I was losing faith in everything, stressed & anxious out of my mind... and then my friend told me about Elektra.

I consulted with Elektra about my recent case, & decided it was best to re-file & go through the process again. From the moment I met Elektra, she came off extremely nice, but I immediately knew she was a no BS type of person. The lawyer I've been longing to find, & every other lawyer should strive to be (seriously).

Finding a good lawyer is not enough. You need to find an outstanding one like Elektra. Every lawyer knows the basic laws & how to put a petition together. But you need a lawyer who goes above & beyond for you. Who nitpicks at every little detail for you. Who pushes you to do your work & get the evidence you need to make yourself stand out from the crowd. & Elektra is all these things.

I'm a very type A person. I care too much about everything. I'm organised, 99% always on top of my case. But Elektra managed to intimidate me with how fast she works & the way she works. This is FANTASTIC though, because you need a lawyer who pushes you as much as you push them. With my previous experiences, I was always the person who was pro-active about my case i.e. asking if a piece of evidence would be useful to include, personally seeking out answers, & had to wait days for a reply (if I even got any).

& what makes Elektra so special is that she makes you feel like a person & artist deserving to stay in this country. She's so supportive & you'll be able to tell when you go through your evidence together. She doesn't treat you like another number or just "another client." She tries to get to know every last detail about the work you've done so she can include it in the cover letter written in the finest detail. She will tailor the petition so that immigration will see the best version of you & why you're amazing at what you do. She makes the petition individualised & not generic, which believe it or not, is a huge problem with a lot of lawyers you'll run into.

Elektra is your gal. She cares about what she does & she cares about her clients. Sure, there were road bumps and anxiety since this is a fragile process, but Elektra has been nothing but positive & she helped me navigate through some strange problems no one has ever encountered before. She's productive, patient & respectful. I seriously could write more but I'm going to stop here & hope you schedule your consultation so you can see for yourself what I'm talking about : )

& I know I've been talking about Elektra this whole time, but please know that I include her entire team who is just as hardworking, meticulous and diligent as she is: Stephania, Adriana, Bernardita & Maria....

Elektra and their team has given the profession of law a level of new meaning like Doctors who save their patients , Elektra saves the career of their clients. They , due to their Expertise, experience and above all Noble intentions have given this profession an Honourable heights.

Initially I felt the communication would be difficult, as mostly it was email based , specially for new people who are just getting started and not used to this restriction , maybe from different countries. But I can assure you that the team of Yao law group always answers your smallest query. In fact communication through Email has taught me to condense many thoughts and get to the point, bringing clarity in thoughts. And the response is always quick.

I trusted Elektra for the fact that no one else has the variety of background she has and the amount of exposure and knowledge about each different variant of art , She customizes it for their individual clients, She helps you get the most out of the visa and how you can maximize opportunities through your visa and your niche. The content prepared by them is very personalised and curated. The hardwork, attention to details, and the fusion of Arts , Law and the experience of Electra can be seen in their drafted materials.

There have been many instances where I didn't know a thing but were taken care of by Elektra and her team which may differ case to case. They also helped me to file my B2 extension within a short period of time window which was crucial.We just need to give them what they list us and rest everything is duly taken care.

Whenever I had a direct meeting with Elektra, I noticed she herself remembers the smallest details about my case , in fact she and her team are as concerned about your deadlines as you are, so they consistently remind you of the next steps and deadlines.

I also noticed that due to their years of experience , they have very Robust SOPs and systems that are consistent, meticulous, and easy to follow. In fact when I read the petition I could sense a true lawyer fighting on my behalf with the adjudicator and I can tell that as Artists we have no clue and no idea how deep and multidimensional this is, unless we have been through this . You can see the efforts and realize yourself how much they want the case to be approved.

Above all I have always noticed a care and concern for client and the case beyond the professional and business mindset.

I have to say that the reason I got approved, and could begin my career in US is because of “The legend of Elektra” and The team of “Superwomen” at Yao law group, which to me is kind of Avengers gathering and fighting to make sure their client wins. God bless the lovely team of Yao Law group .Keep doing great service and being the heroes for artists, and keep earning respect, love, gratitude and blessings...
