Completely satified.

It was my genuine pleasure to work with Sung Hee (Glen) Yu. He handled my immigration case, EB2-NIW, as if it was his. Whenever I had questions, his response was super prompt and helpful. He is very proactive. Sometime I felt like he cares about my case more than I do.

THANK YOU!

My husband and I finally got our green cards after staying on temporary visa for 19 years. Mr.Glen Yu helped us to get our green card in a less than 6 months. He was very prompt to all of our multiple questions and sincerely cared about our case. He is highly knowledgeable and experienced in immi...gration law for health care providers. Highly recommended! Thank you so much for all your help, Mr.Yu!

I Recommend

Sung Hee (Glen) Yu, Esq., helped my application for my wife's permanent residency. I was worried because I had to find a sponsor, but the entire process went as smooth as I could ever hope. He walked us through the process and gave us all the advise we needed, and he was very responsive and helpful w...henever we had any question. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of immigration legal service.

Highly Recommended

I worked with Sung Hee Yu on my H1B sponsorship and I could not be happier with the result. Sung Hee went above and beyond to make sure that the experience was as smooth and efficient as possible and well-communicated to both me and my employer. He was always available for questions, and explained th...e whole process to me in ways that were easily understandable for someone going through it for the first time. I was thankful for the low fee and for the detailed, careful attention he gave to my case. Thanks to Sung Hee's hard work, my H1B visa was approved after just three days of processing. I would highly recommend Sung Hee Yu at Sarmiento Immigration Law Firm for anyone looking for an immigration lawyer with expertise, efficiency and personal attention.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I've known Glen for two years and he has always been passionate about immigration law. Even before becoming a lawyer, he has been very active in the field since law school, doing volunteer work for the Legal Aid Society and clerking for Judges and law firms. His knowledge of immigration law derives from his experiences as a foreign-born citizen and keen interest in the area, and this translates to how he relates to clients, treating each case like it's his. He has represented different clients ranging from citizens of Korea, the Philippines, China, Jordan, Mexico, Mali, has accompanied clients for immigration interviews in Cleveland and Newark, and has appeared on behalf of clients for the Cleveland, Detroit, and Houston Immigration Courts. He actively posts useful immigration articles for our blog at www.sarmientoimmigration.typepad.com and is active in the Korean community. Most imporatntly, he cares for clients. I highly recommend Glen Yu to anybody in need of immigration counsel."
