    • I recommend Sung Yu.
    • I hired Sung 6-12 months ago.
    • Sung handled my Immigration matter.

    Glen Yu, Esq. helped my H-1 visa process. He was very efficient and professional. He provided good information to help me understand and worked hard for my case. My case was very timely-sensitive, so he was really efficient to expedite the case and made the process go smoothly. Since he dealt with my issues in a timely manner, I got my H-1 visa on time. I really appreciate his work and strongly recommend him to anyone who needs assistance in the immigration process. Mr. Yu is a great lawyer!

    Awesome Attorney...prepared us for the green card interview and then followed to the actual USCIS interview.

    Proactive in approach explained everything to the Officer and she was mighty impressed and the whole interview went smoothly and it was Atty Glen who made it possible for us.

    After the interview he even asked from the IO when can we expect the decision.By the time we came back from the interview the Green card was already APPROVED!

    Will recommend him to everyone in future.

    Sung Hee Yu helped me getting my visa status changed from F1 to E1, with no glitch whatsoever. Soon after I discussed my case with him which I thought a bit complicated, I could wait my result, of course successful one, with the simplest mind. Even though I don't have many experiences and relationships with law firms, I believe Hung Hee Yu provides the most responsive and prompt law services, of course with not only excellent knowledge but cheerful kindness. I won't hesitate to call him again if i ever need another law service.

    Sarmiento Immigration Law Firm handled my finance's J1 Waiver and did not disappoint with the results. It was very pleasant dealing with Attorney Sung Hee Yu as he gave me straight answers. I would highly recommend Sarmiento Immigration for J1 Waivers especially if you are Korean.

    I am so glad that Sarmiento Immigration handled my immigration matter and Sung Hee Yu have helped me a great deal. He has answered my inquiries over the phone and via e-mails whenever I had questions. He diligently prepared us for the interview and came with us to the interview. He is a very helpful, very kind, knowledgeable, professional, and a bright young man. I do highly recommend his firm to anyone out there who is in search of the best immigration lawyer. I hired them after I read previous reviews because a lot of law firms out there can promise a lot of things but when the actual clients testifies that means that they are doing a great job and that they helped a great deal. Thank you again for all the help, I am so grateful to your team!

    It was my best choice to select Mr. Sung Hee Yu for my family's attorney for Green Cards process. He and his law firm have a great service in immigration process. I have no doubt you will have the same experience as mine, if you hire him. Nonetheless I have many difficult issues, he managed it wisely in an efficient way.

    I have known Sung Hee Yu, aka Glen Yu for almost 2.5 years as a client. Glen showed himself as reliable, compassionate and professional person. The firm he represents and himself met our needs e.g. affordability, flexible time and long commute that compelled us to minimize our choices to choose an attorney. In times when he was not in a position to answer our intricate questions, he made sure to fetch for us answers from his support staff.

    I worked with Mr. Sung Hee Yu for my wife's green card and me and my wife were so glad to have Mr. Yu as our attorney. We were very satisfied and happy with Mr. Yu's professionalism and quick and accurate work. Mr. Yu also kept us updated all the time and listened and answered to our questions very thoroughly. Last and most importantly, Mr. Yu was a very kind and polite gentleman and fee was very reasonable as well. I definitely recommend Mr. Sung Hee Yu. Forgot to mention that my wife has successfully acquired her green card!

    I hired Mr. Sung Hee Yu and Mr. Sarmiento with the Sarmiento Immigration Law firm to help me apply for a J-2 waiver of foreign residency requirement (dependent turning 21), so I could consequently file for an H1-B work visa. Previously, my employer and I spoke with an established attorney firm in town on referral (I work in a large city in the Midwest), and found that they were not knowledgeable and were unable to cater to my situation in the least (although they tried to bluff through it). Luckily, I was able to find Mr. Sarmiento’s exceptional firm through research, contacted them and started working with them right around New Year’s. By early January all the required documents were filed, and by the end of January I received a favorable recommendation from the DoS. By the end of February, my waiver application was successfully approved by the USCIS. In the end, I was extremely satisfied with Mr. Sung’s and Mr. Sarmiento’s work (and I was hoping for as much, after reading the other reviews). These guys really know what they are doing and have great expertise in immigration law, charge VERY reasonable fees, and on top of that, are absolutely a pleasure to work with (prompt feedback and correspondence, very professional and courteous). So the bottom line is, if you need help with any immigration matters, especially if you have an exceptional or uncommon case, the Sarmiento Immigration Law Firm is really your best resource. Highly recommend!

    I was in the removal process and i needed a good lawyer. Thanks God i found Glen and his expertise. He guided me through the process and answered my questions in a timely fashion. I know immigration cases are complex, but Glen made it easier for me. He is very courteous, professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone facing deportation or any immigration issue.

    I found Sarmiento immigration law firm on the website, sent them an email & got a response right away. My case was assigned to Sung Hee Yu, he prepared & represented me in my court hearings & immigration interview... He is knowledgeable about the law regarding my case. After I got decline by several lawyers & at one point was told to just go back to my home country, they took the chance, now, after 7 months with them I got approved & now a legal resident....
    I highly recommend Sung Hee Yu for your immigration services.

    My husband and I worked with Sung Hee Yu for our Adjustment of Status process recently. Mr. Yu proved to be a very reliable and trustworthy lawyer. He was always quick to respond to any of our questions and kept us informed throughout the entire process. He even was willing to help us with answers before we decided to hire him. My husband and I could both tell that Mr. Yu genuinely cared for our case. He did everything in a professional manner and we successfully received our Adjustment of Status sooner than we expected (we filed at the end of August 2011, received the work permit in early November, and the Permanent Resident card in early December 2011). We both highly recommend Sung Hee Yu and would definitely use his services again if there was ever a need.

    Wonderful experience and fast result. I consulted Glen SungHee Yu for my green card application and interview, and was satisfied with every aspect of the services I got.
    He reminded me of important dates and things to pay attention to, answered all my questions quickly and clearly, and let me know of what to expect along each step of the way. He was confident and friendly when he accompanied my husband and I to the interview with USCIS, which was assuring and made us feel at ease. It turned out great also. Five stars, no doubt. I'd be happy to reccomend him to anyone.

    I need to get my H1B and H4B for my wife. Sung Hee Yu is so professional that he prepared all documents required for both cases very quickly. No only that he keeps reminding me every important thing along the way from cases reviewed till approved.
