Emily Gail Sumner

Seven stars rating to Emily and Team! When you have them, be assured you have a rock solid team representing you who would treat your case as their own. I have met Emily and Nikita personally and was moved by the level of detail and effort they put into your case, with such a professionalism and know...ledge and being so much approachable they are the best to go with. I approached them regarding an I-130 application to bring my wife to the United States. My case was not a typical case because I had no income and no tax returns to sponsor my wife, neither did I had anyone to co sponsor. Emily and Team handled my case very meticulously, were always a step ahead on my case, and followed up even when I forgot. They got my case approved based on the qualification of assets I had in the United States. My wife is now in United States with me and we could never be much happier and thankful to Emily and Team. Their representation fee is very reasonable, you get full value for your money. Sumner Immigration is a place that you can trust and depend upon for all your immigration needs. I highly recommend them and look forward to work with them again in future.

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.

Let me start by saying I've heard of people filing their own immigration paperwork with disastrous results. If you have an immigration matter pending, lawyer up. plain and simple. (You wouldn't perform open heart surgery on yourself would you? So why gamble with your future?). I was an H4 visa h...older and my spouse an H-1B at the time I decided to hire Mrs. Sumner. We were expecting our priority date for adjustment of status (greencard) to become current in 2015 or 2016, and all of a sudden in September 2013 we realized against all odds, our priority date had become current and we needed to apply for adjustment of status immediately. We had previously been working with another lawyer who although did produce results had 2 very unappealing characteristics: He always took forever to respond to my emails or to call me back, and his fees were really high, so I decided It was time for a change. I found Emily Sumner and her firm Sumner Immigration Law through avvo.com. I live in the middle of nowhere. There are no immigration lawyers here, let alone good ones. So I needed a lawyer that could handle my case exclusively via email. I searched avvo.com for lawyers in the general Maryland / Virginia / D.C. area and something caught my eye about Mrs. Sumner: Even thou all their reviewers praised her and gave her nothing but high marks and 5 stars all the way, her avvo score at the time was 8.8 instead of 10. It was then that I understood that even if a lawyer gets 5 stars in all his/her reviews, avvo won't give them a 10 most of the time because they factor in some other internal scores of theirs like industry recognition. It was then when I realized for all intents and purposes, I was looking at a 10 out of 10 lawyer and probably one I was not gonna have to pay and arm and a leg to hire. Just a knowledgeable lawyer, with an outstanding track record to work on my case. Exactly what I needed. So I gave her a call, and left a message with her paralegal. To my surprise, she personally called me back within the hour. Every question I asked her (out of a gazillion questions I had, mind you) she answered with the same level of professionalism and enthusiasm for the law that she answered the first. She also assured me she was used to handling cases via email and that not only she had customers in the Maryland / Virginia area but all over the country. Finally came time to talk about money. Have in mind, I was not expecting any of this to take place until 2015 at the earliest so when all of a sudden I'm told I have to pay uncle Sam over 2 grand just in filing fees and on top of that, pay my lawyer, to say I was put in a tight spot would be an understatement. Mrs. Sumner's fee structure was very reasonable. Her fees were fair, and when I explained my situation, she graciously offered me the option to pay her fee in 3 installments and I could even use my credit card. I was sold. The process from the get go was extremely fluid. Every email I wrote was answered almost immediately and she kept me in the loop every step of the way. Every payment I made to her firm was made through Google wallet which was super quick and easy and you don't even have to share your credit card number with anybody. They just send you an email with a link and you enter your credit card information on a secure website yourself. I even received a dreaded request for evidence from USCIS in the middle of the process due to an error on USCIS part and Mrs. Sumner handled it like a champ, resubmitting the necessary documents in less than 24 hours. Exactly 2 months after I first contacted and hired Mrs. Sumner, I had my greencard in my hands. Of course, your particular case might differ, some greencards take up to a year depending on the particulars and nature of every individual case (family based greencards vs. employer sponsored ones, etc) so your mileage might definitely vary, but what I can assure you is hiring Mrs. Sumner will be one of the best decisions you ever make.

I have been thru various immigration processes with several attorneys and finally got under the valuable umbrella of Emily, she represented my H1 transfer, 7th year H1 extension, Perm Process & I-140. Through all these process she was informative and provided me the options which were in my best inte...rest and never made any false promises, was detailed went beyond her way in presenting my case to succeed and updated the status of my cases in timely fashion and never kept me in limbo. She has pioneered to be a techee too, which helps getting in touch with her and communicating with her instantaneous, she always responded back to my questions right away. Although my education was not in the related field Emily has successfully handled my Perm process & got the I-140 approval. ‘Per my HR’ the service fees which she quoted for my cases were pretty acceptable.
