Greencard NIW

My case was unique, other law firms couldn't even properly assess the chance of my getting approval for PR. Mr. Glen Yu was analytical, strategic and worked flawlessly to prepare my petition pack to maximize the chance. He was always there to answer my questions which often occurred through my compli...cated process. With his tremendous help, I received my greencard much earlier than I originally hoped. I can't thank him enough and I would highly recommend to my fellow immigrants to talk to Mr. Glen Yu.

J-2 two years waiver

My case was little complicated that (1) I had J-2 visa for more than 8 years subordinated to my ex-husband who is a physician still living in the US, (2) we are from two different countries which the divorce process and paperwork were another hassle, and also (3) I was converting to E-2 visa in paral...lel. I discussed with few different lawyers before Glen, but all of them said I can't get a waiver either I can't convert to E-2. But at the end, Glen made it and allowed me to have a new chapter in the US without risking my professional career. He is very responsive, set strategies, and gave good advise coming from his in-depth research and experience. I am grateful that one of my difficult time is over and am able to leave him a thank you note for closing my case.

Green card

I worked with attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu for a green card and I can say it was a GREAT experience! When I work with an attorney, I consider "accuracy" is the most important thing. He was very accurate to make my wife's green card successful without any problem. We smoothly got the green card very fa...st. Definitely, as well as the accuracy, he was also very kind. I was really happy to work with him.

Highly recommend!

This was my second time working with Mr. Yu, and it was a pleasure working with him for my H1B visa. He was professional, responds quickly to my questions and very supportive throughout the process. I highly recommend if you want to be street-free on your process.

Very experienced and reliable attorney

Hi. I am attorney Glen's client. In September 2021 he helped me finally win the asylum case at the immigration court which i have been waiting for ten years. Ten years ago, he and he's secretary Ms. Arty patiently gave me a full consultation about asylum and helped me prepare all the documents and t...ranslation. During these ten years, we have been keeping In touch. Whenever i had questions, i felt free to ask them. They gave me lots of suggestions regardless immigration related or just personal life. The last battle was the final hearing. He helped me go over all the questions that he and the attorney general from THE might ask me, and gave me pretty much suggestions about how to calmly, clearly and professionally answer those questions and how to act at the court as an asylum applicant. You know you don't want to overreact In front of the judge of have a bad performance as a result give the judge a bad impression.... So, i strongly recommend Glen as your immigration attorney. He is quite experienced and professional. I believe he could answer all your questions and take care of any types of immigration and further green card application. Good luck!!!!

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."
