Emily Gail Sumner

My company hired Sumner Immigration for my H1B filing. Emily's team was very professional and always stayed on top of things. Everything from document preparation, LCA to case status communication was handled smoothly. My HR or myself never had to reach out to check progress of the filing. Moreover, ...Emily always provided excellent guidance on questions regarding alternate work authorization and/or green card filing.

We cannot praise Sumner Immigration Law highly enough! Emily and her team shepherded us through the process of obtaining a family-based green card (I-130/I-485 adjustment of status). Highly knowledgeable, very kind and friendly, and super responsive, these folks are experts at what they do. From pape...rwork to interview prep to answering anxious emails and phone calls, we felt at ease during the entire process. For something as delicate and important as an immigration-related matter, you want a partner by your side who understands the intricacies of the process and can navigate them skillfully. Emily Sumner is that person. We were referred to her by two friends, and in turn we have recommended her to friends, and we plan to retain her again in the future.

Sumner immigration is the professional, responsible, and efficient law firm I have worked with so far. I applied 3 times H1B visa during the past three years. I got the H1B lottery on my last chance that was helped by Emily and her team. It still feels a miracle. But I believe without Emily and her t...eam’s help, it’s possible that the miracle won’t happen forever. At the beginning of the applying process, we faced many obstacles for my H1B application. I even thought I couldn’t get the visa and I prepared to leave the country. But Emily and her team were always there to provide the best professional advice and optimistic vision to my boss and me. She was not only my lawyer but also a supportive friend on my side. During the process, she guided us to go through the application process step by step clearly and solidly. There wasn’t any misunderstanding and delayed updates. She showed her high standard professional experience; she understood her client’s pain point and would fight for her client to solve the problem no matter how complicated the situation is. Her team always provided us with the newest updates of my application and answered any questions we had on time. I got the visa successfully without even had the RFE process. I am so glad to work with Sumner Immigration and I really appreciated all the great efforts Emily and her team did for my case.

My company uses Emily Sumner's immigration firm for all immigration needs, and for good reason - she is very knowledgeable and professional, and knows how to handle tough cases, like mine. My H1B with my first company was denied and i had essentially lost all hopes but then we filed another petition ...for the same position with my current company and with her expertise, help, and guidance we got it passed. It was a pretty complicated case and there was an RFE like she suspected there would be one. But she always had a plan and then a backup plan. Once she responded to the rfe we got the approval within 15 days!! I would highly recommend her for any immigration needs.

I have started my American dream back in 2007 and since then, Emily helped me with various non-immigration (H1B)/immigration (PERM, I-140) petitions. She helped me with PERM (first stage of GC) in 2010 and it was approved in record time of 43 days. She also helped me with transition from L1B to H1B... and extension of stay in H1B status. At times, due to strict immigration policies, we got complex R.F.E and she helped resolve the situation with her vast experience. I am excited to file my I-485 with her in the near future. My Overall experience with Emily/Sumner Immigration Law Firm: 1) She has great team of Para-Legal and Administration team. 2) The legal team keeps us informed about the status of work. 3) Involve us in review of few important documents (when needed), so that there won't be any mistakes in the filing. 4) If we have any small questions, we can email to the attorney/para-legal and they will get back to us ASAP. If they are tied up with high priority issues/cases, we will get an update on when we can expect the response. 5) Open for Ad-Hoc consultations. 6) Emily has very good understanding of international education / technical job experience and knows how to funnel it for the purpose of US immigration.
