Emily Gail Sumner

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.

When I contacted Sumner Immigration, I knew that I had only one chance to find a good lawyer to take care of my case. I had just had a terrible experience with other immigration lawyers, and what I urgently needed was a legal professional who was competent and really willing to fight for the success ...of my application. What’s more, I needed to find a lawyer who was intelligent, able to understand and handle the complexities of a case, and who would not shrink from a challenge. Not only did Emily Sumner and her team met all of my expectations and needs, but they went far beyond them. My case was a difficult one and it was unnecessarily complicated by miscommunication and misdirection given by other lawyers. In contrast, from the beginning Emily Sumner was attentive and straightforward and willing to work with me at every step of the way. If I had experienced bad communication before, Sumner immigration excelled in answering all my questions and giving honest and precise directions; if I had seen lack of legal strategy and disorganization from my previous lawyers, Emily and her team conducted my case in an orderly fashion and with a clear strategy in mind. Last, but not least, Emily Sumner really understands that immigration cases are not just a set of forms to be filled and checks to be signed, but that they are a fundamental piece of the life of real people who are doing their best to come to America and live under the law of the land.

My husband and I went to Sumner Immigration for help with his green card process. Emily was great. She walked us through the entire process and filed all of the forms for us. She made sure the initial filing was exactly what USCIS wanted us to submit. This was great because I wasn't made aware of eve...ry form necessary to file when I researched the process beforehand. She met with us a few different times and was available to answer questions and concerns in a timely manner. On our last meeting she prepared us for the green card interview and gave us some insight into how long it may take and any concerns she had have with our case specifically. We were over prepared, which was great. The interview went very smoothly and we expect to receive his green card in the mail this week. I highly recommend Sumner Immigration. They were so insightful and greatly relieved our fears and workload. It was painless.

Ms. Emily Gail Sumner is an excellent, well organized, timely fashioned, and a great knowledge immigration attorney. Her organization has well-educated and well-determined staff members who helps you out in each and every step of application process and questions. More importantly Ms. Sumner has very... good automated document organizer and case handling tool. Ms. Sumner is a super smart attorney, she knows everything about immigration, She is very dedicated and passionate to help. She always answered my emails and phone calls in a timely manner. I very much appreciate her help with our adjustment of status (green card) application that was stuck for a long time. It took her a short time to get things moving again and get the application approved. It was like magic! I felt helpless dealing with a pending application for a long time, but I felt empowered when I talked to her and got her help. She is a true-life saver. I highly recommend her for anyone; especially highly skilled professionals who needs help with immigration from PERM to GC. She truly is the best. She is the only lawyer who has answered every email or call of mine. She is very well respected. It is true she not only helped me out filing an application and also helped me follow up with CIS L2 representatives in a timely fashion. We all know how hard to get hold of CIS L2 on the phone and explain the situations. More importantly she is very reasonable. I don't think it's the money that drives her it's the challenge and the need to help others in need. She did what I think my family would have done but no other lawyer would. I personally and highly recommend Ms. Sumner for any type of immigration cases. Mine was a cross changeability case, which was applied with all necessary documents with a cover sheet to CIS supervisor stating the same. However, CIS ignored and tabled my case as usual. After waiting for six months, she did an excellent follow up with CIS to adjust the status. Finally, my wife and I are greened. American dream came true with her extra ordinary work! I cannot thank enough Ms. Sumner and her team. I sincerely thank and appreciate all her help with regards to my adjustment of status application.

My husband and I met Emily on June 16th, 2014 for consultation because I had a J1 Visa expiring on January 2015. Emily was very sincere and straight forward concerning our options and she told us exactly what to expect. We decided to start the marriage-based I-130 and I-485 application. She gave us a...ll the information as well as a list of documents we needed to send to her office for them to fill the corresponding USCIS forms. Emily and her team replied promptly to all our questions and concerns. All phone calls and emails were promptly returned even at non-working hours and holydays!!. We had meetings at her office for her to coach us before important events like the fingerprints appointment and the interview with the immigration officers. She was there for us during all the process. I received my Green Card on March 30th, 2015 and I must say It should have come long time before that but because personal situations my husband and I were not able to provide earlier all the documents to Emily. She was all the time pendant of us and offering us her advices and help to successfully complete this process. For me is very important to say to my fellow immigrants that going through this immigration process has to be taken seriously and it is worth to get a professional, responsible, experienced, knowledgeable, trustworthy and for me personally, genuinely caring and committed attorney, and that's exactly what Emily is. She loves what she does and that makes the difference. I'm very glad we found her and I would definitely recommend her to anyone with immigration issues. For my future immigration issues for sure I will hire her again.
