TheaBridge Group

Practicing law w/​o a license is illegal. And if a non-​attorney messes up your case you have no recourse. Be very careful when hiring these charlatans who pretend to offer legal advice when they have no idea what they are talking about.

The consequences of submitting immigration applications without a knowledgeable, licensed attorney representing you are very serious and can result in deportation if mistakes are made. This individual is not an attorney and has not had the training necessary to effectively represent a person seeking a visa or a green card. No matter how nice or supportive an unlicensed person may be, she cannot do the job of a licensed professional.

I was referred to Yasemin Elmas by a trustworthy friend. Since the first day I met her she was very friendly and extremely helpful. She is very patient, understanding and encouraging. She assisted me with my green card process throughout my application. She helped me keep my positive attitude throughout the process. She was very responsive. She always responded my emails and calls right away. Answered all my questions about the paperwork with tolerance. I had my greencard interview a few days ago. I was very worried. However having all the preparations with her help, my interview went so smoothly. The officer checked out my documents, asked a few questions and approved my case right away. We were about to go with a lawyer but I am happy to say I made the right decision choosing her instead. She is the best! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs consultation during immigration process. I would like to thank her openly for being so helpful, kind, polite, positive and making this process so easy for me.
Thank you!

I have known Yasemin for around 10 years and have asked for her consultation on multiple occasions including for my very own immigration journey. During this time, not only has she been super responsive, but also she has been very courteous and understanding. Despite what others might say… my experience with her services has been nothing other than positive. Most recently about a year ago, she helped with my wife’s GC application process and gave us some very useful insights and assistance. As a result, my wife’s application was accepted without a hiccup and she got her GC soon thereafter.
Over the years, I have recommended her and her services to many people around me without any reservations. In my opinion, her honesty, professionalism, courtesy, and diligence is unparalleled and I will continue recommending her moving forward!

I applied a lawyer in New York for my work visa H1-​B. I was being late for application because of not being able to reach him when I call. I left voice mails telling that it was urgent but he never called me back.
I was tired of trying to reach him and then I decided to go to TheaBridge and restart my process with Yasemin.
We did all my documents with her step-​by-​step and we sent my documents to the Department of Labor.
The application time was starting on April 4^th and was going to continue but the quotas were already over on the first day. So I missed my chance to apply but she did her best to fulfill my application. My documents were not completed because of the delay on paper work at my previous job in my country. At the end we were able to get approval from Department of Labour.
Yasemin was very supportive and responsive in that process whenever I needed her.
We are waiting for the new immigration law and maybe new H1B application time to conclude my process.
Thank you Yasemin.

My wife hired Yasemin Elmas, general manager of TheaBridge for her H1B application. We don‘t recommend this company and her to anyone since she doesn’t have enough knowledge on immigration, she doesn‘t care about her customers and she is not responsive. Here is her experience.
«Yasemin was very responsive and following up with me very frequently at the beginning until I sign the contract and make the payment. Suddenly, it was very difficult to reach her. She was always in a meeting or very busy.
She is not a lawyer and she doesn‘t have enough knowledge about immigration. She advised me to extend my cap gap extension beyond October 1^st. With a little research everyone knows that this is impossible. Google knows it but she doesn‘t. After I insist, she asked to a lawyer and told me I was right. She claims that she had experience in immigration but she doesn‘t know this simple thing.
Since she is not responsive and not a lawyer, everything moves very slow. She says she needs to consult with a lawyer, then it takes days and days. If you don‘t follow up, she doesn‘t come back with an answer. Because of this slowness my application reached USCIS the day before the quote filled. I was lucky.
After I got the documents I realized that she wrote the revenue of the company in the form where it asks for the gross income. It was already submitted and when I ask about this she told me she does it like this for years. Doing it for years doesn‘t mean you are doing something right. I didn‘t get the logic here. As I stated before she gave us wrong information on Cap Gap extension, so I don‘t understand how she can speak like this without the knowledge.
We got an RFE from USCIS, mainly asking to prove why this position is a specialty occupation which is the main purpose of an H1B application. She didn‘t do a good job in the initial application to prove this so we got an RFE in my opinion. I also consulted with an immigration lawyer and she agreed that the RFE is a result of a weak and careless application. However, Yasemin claimed that it is due to the complexity of the company and she didn‘t accept any responsibility. She asked for another $ 1.250 to reply to RFE. Also she recommended to get an expert opinion which costs extra $ 500. Basically she didn‘t do her job at the beginning and asked for more to do the things she supposed to do at the beginning. She doesn‘t care about the application, she only tries to charge you more. I tried to explain this to her, she gave me irrelevant answers and kept saying my employer had a complex business.
I paid Theabridge over $ 2000 but they didn’t do their job. As a result, my employer didn‘t want to spend any more time and money on this process so I lost my job.
If you check the filtered reviews, you can see that Yasemin wrote a review for Theabridge and gave 5 stars. A general manager writing a review and giving her company 5 stars. Who does that…»
