✦ About
A dedicated immigration practice
since 2009.
The Sophie Team at Reid & Wise LLC represents founders, investors, researchers, and families building new lives in the United States. We focus on immigration — visa strategy, employment-based green cards, investor petitions, family-based matters, and citizenship — for clients whose work and circumstances demand precise, attentive counsel.
Bilingual, bicultural counsel
Our attorneys practice across two offices — New York and Shanghai — and work with clients in English, Mandarin, and Traditional Chinese. We bridge the technical, cultural, and procedural differences that shape outcomes for cross-border applicants.
Strategy first, then evidence
No templates. Every petition starts with deep research into the applicant's field, achievements, and trajectory. We design the legal narrative around your strongest position, then assemble evidence to substantiate it — not the other way around.
Long horizons
Many of our clients return after their first matter — for adjustment of status, for I-829 removal of conditions, for an executive's EB-1C, for a child's F-1 or O-1, for citizenship. We track every milestone and stay accountable across the years it takes to settle a family in the United States.
What we handle
Investment immigration (EB-5), extraordinary ability (EB-1A, O-1A, O-1B), national interest waiver (EB-2 NIW), multinational manager (L-1, EB-1C), specialty occupation (H-1B), and family-based matters across employment, investment, and family categories.
