Case Study: AMB Digital Agency expands into the US with Deel Mobility

How Deel Immigration helped a founder transform his business and his life

AMB Digital Agency, a digital marketing company founded by Shanghai entrepreneur Yijin (Michael) Li, needed a way to expand beyond China and build stronger relationships with U.S. universities. Because the business had no on-the-ground North American team and faced a 15-hour time difference, scaling from Shanghai was difficult. To support his move to the U.S., Michael turned to Deel Mobility for immigration guidance.

Deel Mobility provided a fully guided, hands-off immigration process for Michael’s L-1A visa, including eligibility checks, digital intake, progress tracking, and access to an immigration attorney. Deel also identified a potential issue early — the lack of a U.S. bank account — helping avoid delays, and the application was approved without an RFE. As a result, Michael relocated to California, gained credibility with U.S. clients, strengthened business opportunities for AMB Digital Agency, and later renewed his visa smoothly with Deel; he now plans to use Deel again for a green card application.
