Socheat Chea

I don't know if there is room in this review to express just how grateful my husband and I are to Mr. Chea and his office team. I contacted Mr. Chea because he had come highly recommended from another lawyer that had helped a co-worker receive a green card. The other lawyer was not able to take our c...ase at the time. I knew she was good so I asked her who she could recommend. The first name out of her mouth was Mr. Chea. From the first moment I spoke with Mr. Chea, I was not disappointed. I knew I was in good hands. He was confident, not cocky. He was assuring. I am a U.S. citizen and had married and undocumented person from Mexico about four years earlier. We began the process in July and the papers were sent off by Mr. Chea's office in late July. It takes a couple of weeks to gather the information to send. Mr. Chea's team filled us in on exactly what to expect at each step in the process. They filled out the forms and they knew exactly what they were doing as they are great at what they do.They were exactly right regarding what to expect, the time frame we should expect, and what we would need to do. We received notice that USCIS had received our papers in early August and a biometrics appointment date was set by USCIS for late August. The work authorization arrived in early October and my husband was then able to get a conditional social security card number which, after the marriage interview, became his permanent Social Security number without conditions. The marriage interview was set by USCIS for the end of January, exactly six months after sending our papers off. Exactly what we were expecting! Every member of that law office was amazing. They were a pleasure to meet with, they were so nice, efficient and professional. We came in the door with some issues that we feared could cause problems for our case. Chea's office listened, advised and calmed us. We experienced absolutely no glitches or problems throughout the entire experience. Mr. Chea even provided us with a consultant to prep for the interview. This man was a retired former field office manager for the USCIS. He was so very helpful in giving us an idea of what to expect at interview and was great at soothing our concerns. He didn't care that I would call or email with any little concern that would pop into my head. All of the attorneys, the office staff, and Mr. Chea made this experience one that we look back on fondly. Most importantly, they got the job done and helped us get our green card, which was and is a dream come true. We will definitely use them when my husband begins the citizenship process in a couple of years. I recommend them any time I hear of anyone that might need an immigration lawyer. Anything I say here would not do justice to just how thankful I am for the job they did and how they treated us. We had a bad immigration attorney once. They never called us and when we called them, we felt like we were bothering them. We waited for almost a year only to find out that our papers had not even been submitted. One day we left work and scrambled to make a scheduled appointment only to find the attorney had cancelled all appointments that day. Nobody in the office bothered to call us, but they were having a baby shower in the office when we walked in. We went into our experience with Mr. Chea very guarded and worried that we would have another bad experience, but at least I knew going in that he had come highly recommended by someone I knew. It is easy to see why he was recommended so highly. Everything they told us about the experience and all of the advice they gave us was spot on. They are excellent at what they do and they cared about us as people as well as clients.
