Community, mentorship, and shared experiences have the power to shape careers — and moments like these are a reminder of just how meaningful that can be.

This year, more than 200 first-generation Chinese American lawyers gathered in Seattle for the Chinese American Lawyers Forum (CALF) for two days of conversations, learning, and connection. We’re especially proud that our Founder and Managing Attorney, Sabrina Li, had the opportunity to serve as one of the speakers during this year’s event.

From discussions on immigrant lawyers entering politics, to conversations surrounding U.S.–China trade tensions, storytelling, and emerging areas of law, the conference brought together professionals from across the country to share experiences and support one another.

One of the highlights of the conference was the evening aboard the Spirit of Seattle, where meaningful conversations continued against the beautiful backdrop of the Seattle skyline, Elliott Bay, and Mount Rainier.

Grateful to be part of a community that continues to uplift and inspire future generations of Chinese American legal professionals.

From Lawyer to Lawyer, Money Lost—Until He Found the Right Team

Are you tired of jumping from one attorney to another with no results?
Have you spent thousands on immigration cases that just keep getting delayed?

❓ How do you know when you've finally found the right immigration lawyer?
❓ What does it feel like to work with a team that actually delivers?
❓ Can switching attorneys after multiple failures really make a difference?
❓ What should you look for when choosing legal representation?

Hear from Rodolfo Sandoval—a client who experienced it all.

"My name is Rodolfo Sandoval.
I came over here when somebody recommended Sabrina.
I am very happy to get my green card.
They helped me a lot with all the papers.

I spent a lot of money everywhere on many lawyers—another one, another one.
Immigration delayed and delayed.
I lost a lot of money.

Then God—I got Sabrina.

The team is very, very friendly and happy.
When they said they need something, they helped a lot.
The case was very good and not too long.
Happy to respond very, very fast.

My message to others going through similar struggles:
Take a look, got a phone number, call.
Explain your case, and they help you.
One hundred percent—they help you.
They get you a green card or not? They'll tell you straight."

— Rodolfo Sandoval

Rodolfo tried multiple lawyers, spent money without results, and faced nothing but delays. When he came to the Law Offices of Sabrina Li, everything changed. His case moved quickly, his team was responsive, and finally—his green card was approved.

The Law Offices of Sabrina Li has extensive experience handling complex immigration issues. If you are tired of delays, unclear answers, and cases that go nowhere, you don't have to face it alone.

H-1B Fraud Risk Even After Withdrawal? New AAO Case You Must Know

❓ Can USCIS still make fraud findings against you after your H-1B petition is withdrawn?
❓ What is the Matter of Texperts, Inc. case and why does it matter?
❓ Does withdrawing a case reset your immigration record?
❓ How can fraud findings affect future visa applications or green card processing?
❓ What legal standards must USCIS meet to prove fraud or misrepresentation?
❓ Can suspicious facts alone support a fraud finding?
❓ What happens when USCIS fails to complete its legal analysis?

In Matter of Texperts, Inc. , a major AAO precedent decision, the government addressed a common strategy: withdrawing a case before a denial to avoid consequences. The AAO made it very clear—that strategy does NOT protect you.

Key Point #1: Withdrawal Does NOT Eliminate Risk
Even if an H-1B petition is withdrawn, USCIS can still make factual findings about what happened in that case—including findings of fraud or willful misrepresentation of a material fact. And those findings don't stay in that case. They can affect:

Future visa applications
Green card process
Admissibility to the United States
Withdrawal is not a reset button.

Key Point #2: USCIS Must Prove Fraud Properly
The AAO also pushed back on USCIS. Suspicious facts alone—such as:

One beneficiary registered by two companies
Same IP address used
Same HR handling both filings
Nearly identical job offers
Overlapping ownership and management
—do NOT equal fraud. To legally establish fraud, USCIS must explain:
✔ What was misrepresented
✔ Why it was material
✔ Whether there was intent to deceive

In Matter of Texperts, Inc. , USCIS failed to complete that legal analysis. The AAO withdrew the fraud finding and sent the case back for further review.

What This Means for You:

Withdrawal is NOT protection. You cannot erase potential issues by withdrawing your case.
Fraud findings are serious—but must be proven. USCIS has power, but they must follow legal standards.
H-1B lottery scrutiny is increasing. Especially for multiple registrations, related companies, and attempts to increase selection chances.
If you've ever:

Had multiple H-1B registrations
Received an RFE or NOID
Withdrawn a case and feel uncertain
Or are worried about fraud or misrepresentation risks
Don't wait until it becomes a bigger problem.

ICE Can Now Detain Certain Refugees After One Year Without a Green Card Application

If you entered the U.S. as a refugee and have been here for one year or more, this new policy update affects you directly.

❓ Can ICE really arrest and detain refugees for not applying for a green card?
❓ What is the new deadline for refugees to file Form I-485?
❓ What happens if you've been in the U.S. for over a year and haven't applied?
❓ Does having a pending application protect you from detention?
❓ What does a "new inspection" by DHS involve after detention?
❓ Can a detained refugee still be approved for permanent residence?
❓ What triggers removal proceedings instead of approval?
❓ How can you prove compliance with the law if you're eligible but haven't filed?

The Department of Homeland Security has issued a new memo fundamentally changing enforcement for refugees. Previously, failing to file for adjustment of status was not grounds for detention. Now, ICE is actively directed to **locate, arrest, and detain** refugees who have not applied—or whose adjustment process remains incomplete—after one year in the U.S.

Once detained, DHS may conduct a new inspection. Two outcomes are possible: approval for permanent residence, or placement into removal proceedings.

**This is a major enforcement shift.**

What matters most: If you are eligible to apply for your green card, **file as early and as completely as possible.** A properly filed application demonstrates compliance and may provide crucial protection.

If you have been here more than one year and haven't applied,
if your case is pending,
or if you have questions about timing or eligibility,
**speak with an experienced immigration attorney immediately.**

At the Law Offices of Sabrina Li, we represent refugees nationwide in adjustment applications and removal defense.

Did your I-485 green card application just receive a Request for Evidence (RFE) referencing your old H-1B filings?
USCIS is looking back—and what they find could impact your future.

❓ Can a withdrawn H-1B petition from years ago affect your green card today?
❓ What happens if USCIS reopens old immigration filings during your I-485 review?
❓ Can past H-1B issues make you "inadmissible" for a green card?
❓ What is an I-601 waiver, and when is it needed?
❓ How do you rebuild a complex immigration timeline for USCIS?

This happened to our client. Years ago, she had two startup H-1B filings—one approved, one withdrawn. She thought that chapter was closed.

But during her green card review, USCIS reopened everything. They scrutinized her prior history, found issues, and deemed her inadmissible.

We stepped in. Our team:
✅ Reconstructed her complete immigration timeline.
✅ Filed a strategic I-601 Waiver of Inadmissibility.
✅ Addressed each concern raised by USCIS with detailed evidence.

Six months later: Both the I-601 waiver and the I-485 were APPROVED.

Old immigration history doesn't disappear. It waits. And it often resurfaces at the green card stage—when the stakes are highest.

If your past has complexities—withdrawn petitions, status gaps, or prior RFEs—don't assume they're harmless. Address them proactively before USCIS defines the risk for you.
