Green Card Application

Ben helped me prepare materials and submitted my I485 application. He is very professional, organized and detail-oriented. I am terrible with paper work but with Ben’s help, I didn’t need to worry about anything, and the whole process was very smooth. He answered all my questions patiently throughout... the process and communicated with me in a timely manner about any updates. He is the best immigration lawyer I could ever ask for!

Patient, Responsive, and Kind

Working with Benjamin Hu has been a very positive experience. He is very knowledgeable on the immigration process and in my case applying for fiancé visa for my partner who lives in El Salvador. He responded to all my questions with patience, informed my partner and I of the process and what to expec...t, and was thorough in checking all of information. We are going to continue working with him as we navigate future applications such as permanent residency and I’m trusting in his work and approach.

Knowledgeable and supportive for older client

I engaged Mr. Hu to help with the process for my mother's green card. Throughout the process I was impressed by Mr. Hu's knowledge and professionalism. He was responsive and really supported my mother (who is not very tech savvy) with putting together the appropriate documentation, prepping for the i...nterview, keeping us informed about the application status and any questions we had. Highly recommend Mr. Hu for your immigration needs.

Highly professional while having compassion to clients!

Attorney Hu is very professional and proactive in helping my green card application. He makes sure my application package is comprehensive and represents solid evidence from different angles. He also informs me whenever there are updates on USCIS processing time or official notices that might be rele...vant to my case. I feel like in very good hands.

When knowledge meets care, it leads to competence.

You can get a lot of knowledgable lawyers, they have all seen your issue before. It takes care and sympathy to your case to know you are dealing with a lawyer who is competent, who combines great expert knowledge with the human care aspect; and that is what Ben is. I had a very difficult case in o...btaining an approval for my I-360 papers. In fact, it was more or less unprecedented and a lot of work had to be done that was not done before in similar cases. Ben was brought in to assist in handling the case, and succeeded alongside an expert to achieve what was regarded as a Victory to both the company I work for and the law-firm he was brought in for this specific case. He was always attentive to my questions, suggested things to be said or written to aid me in my case, and I felt safe enough as he spoke and advised in a way where you knew this Professional is actually putting himself in your own shoes when dealing with the case. Highly recommend Ben and thank him for his work.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
