Two Thumbs Up!!!

I have had the privilege of collaborating with Sung Hee for over four years in securing my green card through the National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. From the initial preparations for the I-140 application to the successful completion of my recent interview and subsequent approval of the Immigra...tion visa at the Seoul embassy, Sung Hee has consistently demonstrated responsiveness, reliability, and a high level of competence in handling the complexities of the immigration process. Throughout this entire journey, Glen has exhibited unwavering professionalism, providing empathetic support during challenging moments and displaying remarkable patience in navigating intricate situations. His expertise has been instrumental in overcoming obstacles, and without his guidance and reassuring words, I might have been discouraged from persevering through this lengthy and often frustrating process. I wholeheartedly recommend Sung Hee, along with this law firm, to individuals seeking professional and compassionate assistance for various U.S. visa-related issues. Their commitment to excellence and caring support makes them invaluable partners in navigating the complexities of immigration procedures.

Exceptional Immigration Attorney

I had a fantastic experience with Glen throughout the NIW process. His remarkable responsiveness and efficiency were truly commendable. Thanks to his expertise, my I-140 petition was not only well-crafted but also swiftly approved. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a dedicated and ...effective immigration attorney.

Highly recommend

Sarmiento (Sung Hee (Glen) Yu, Esq.) helped me with a J1 HRR case and I can say only good things about the service. He was extremely knowledgable, efficient, and sympathetic to my case and I got the waiver in 3 months in this difficult time. I'm hoping to use his service for my next step as well. I h...ighly recommend Sung Hee (Glen) Yu, Esq. to anyone seeking for help with visa issues.

Absolutely the best attorney I was looking for

I worked with him for my H1b(2019) and I-485(2023). He is the best attorney for a person who needs real help. Base on my experience and as many already know, most of the immigration lawyers are not willing to communicate with their customer much. That is why I decided to work with him for my I-485 ev...en though I've done I-140 with other law firm (my employer provided). His communication skill is the best, kind and fast responses but still professional opinion made me well satisfied. Love to work with him again and recommend him to my family/friends who need attorney.

Great Immigration Attorney

I worked with Mr Yu (Glen) on my greencard application, it was an employment based greencard, he knew the process inside out, he was very meticulous with all the paperwork with good attention to every detail. The thing I liked most is that he makes himself very accessible to his clients and can be ea...sily reached through email or phone call. Highly recommended for any immigration needs.

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."
