NIW green card

I worked with Partner Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu on my NIW green card process. He guided me very well how to prepare all materials including recommendation letters from scholars, which is one of important in NIW, and prepared all paper works in detail. He is very diligent and always responsive to m...y questions, emails and phone calls in detail, and during the application filing step he immediately notified me of any updates in the status of the application. I applied last August, 2022, and I received my green card on this March, 2023, and so the whole process from submission to receiving the green card took 7 months, which is much quicker than the expected. I strongly recommend him!!!

Professional, timely, and very knowledgeable!

My husband and I worked with Glen/ Sung Hee Yu, Esq. He was extremely helpful with streamlining the green card process for our marriage. Having a lawyer truly helped save time and the headache of not only trying to understand everything we needed to do, but also meet deadlines without the anxiety of ...being on top of this process while we were working. Glen is professional and friendly, and made sure to initiate checkups throughout the whole process. He was quick to reply to any questions we had regarding my work permit, travel, or any other concerns we had. His professionalism, timeliness, and expertise made this an easy process for us. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer. Thank you Glen!

I-130 and I-485 Adjustment of Status

Working with Attorney Glen Yu was a pleasure. Glen is highly competent and efficient. He knew the answers to all my questions and the way around all situations I faced through the process of adjusting my status to permanent resident. He was always quick to respond and took the time to get back to me ...even when he was out of the office. Working with Glen takes a huge load off your shoulders as you can rely on him to tell you exactly what needs to be done and when. I highly recommend working with him. I can’t thank him enough!

Expert in immigration case!

Glen was helpful with my case and with his help on the application, I was able to get my green card approved within 4 month since I submitted. Also, he was both personable and professional keeping me in the loop each step of the way.

Sung Hee Yu is superb!

I worked with Sung Hee (Glen) Yu on my J1 visa two-year waiver and spouse-based green card process. Despite my case being quite complex, he was super knowledgeable about every step of the process. He was highly responsive and informative during the application filing step in that he immediately notif...ied me of any updates on the status of the application and he answered my inquiries very quickly and explained details very clearly. I highly recommend Sung Hee Yu!

"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."
