We care about your immigration matters.

Welcome to www.StrongVisa.com. Susan Pai is the principal attorney at The Law Office of Susan Pai.  Ms. Pai began her career as Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for the State of Washington.  She went on to become a Public Defender where she conducted major criminal matters such as second strike life without parole cases.  Later, she was recruited by former Presidential Candidate, Patricia Schroeder (D, Colorado) to become the Director of International Copyright Enforcement for the Association of American Publishers.  In this capacity, she oversaw and conducted what is still believed to be the largest criminal raid in global publishing history on behalf of American and European book publishers.  Ms. Pai went on to become one of the youngest corporate General Counsels in the United States, working with such DC notables as the former commissioner of the INS, the Honorable Carol Hallet; former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. and Administrator of the GSA, Ambassador Gerald Carmen; and former Assistant Director of Operations for the CIA, Max Hugel.

Ms. Pai's many years of service to the public and corporate America in conjunction with her personal experience as a first generation American citizen serve her clients well.  Ms. Pai has successfully processed H-1Bs, H-1B1s, E-2s, E-3s, L-1As, L-1Bs, Os, Ps, and TNs. She has also submitted successful EB-1 petitions (subject to the highest level of scrutiny) and has been asked to respond to RFEs for petitions she was not originally involved in. Every single one of the visa applications she has worked on has been approved without RFE (except for one request for current paystubs and one RFE that was issued in error).*** Of the business based visas she has applied for, she has covered esoteric and novel points including applying for a cap-subject H1B visa concurrent to a cap-exempt H1B (after H1B master's and non-master's numbers were exhausted) and arguing successfully for a university affiliation for an otherwise cap-subject and previously denied petitioner. Additionally, Ms. Pai has had great success in applications for extraordinary aliens, and outstanding researchers and professors. In most cases, any O or P visa applied for was favorably dispositioned within 24 to 72 hours. Another novel case involved an L-1A that was changed to an L-1B and at the eve of the 5th year L-1B cap, was successfully changed back to an L-1A (again, without RFE).

***It should be noted, however, that Ms. Pai's past successes are no indication of the chance of success in future cases.  Every case is different and each one must be approached as an individual and unique matter.

We can help, no matter where you are.
