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!

Professional service and solution solver

I was personally recommended to Mr. Yu from a person whom I respect. His assistance was a major factor in the attainment of my work permit and green card. The value of his accomplishment was probably the pinnacle of the whole process as it has helped pave my future in this beautiful nation. There are...n't enough words to express my gratitude and humility towards Mr. Yu's service. I highly recommend him. He has and will continue to earn my respect for many years to come. If anything, I can now go to college and begin my future.

Professional and I highly recommend

This Review is for Attorney Glen Sunghee Yu. I was amazed on how this firm was very professional and attentive. The first time I met with Glen Sunghee Yu he made me feel very comfortable I felt like he really was very concerned about my case he explained the whole process on how becoming a permanent... resident. Glen Sunghee Yu was very helpful to me throughout our whole process he would always answer my calls return my emails and answer my questions in short time. I and my wife now are a permanent resident thank you so much for all the support you guys gave us and for your hard work :).

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.

Good responsibility

Actually, I got a green card (NIW) within eight months. I had processed it with immigration lawyer (Glen Yu). He always take a positive attitude for me. Also, he is ready to respond whenever I have a question. I recommend him as immigration lawyer to everyone.

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."
