Flawless

I had pleasure working with Glen Yu through my IR1 (10-year green card). He was professional, kind, meticulous and always quick to answer any questions I’ve had. I loved how he communicated with me. With his knowledge, there was nothing confusing about the process and I successfully got my green card...! I highly highly recommend Sarmiento Immigration Law Firm and Glen Yuto anyone who needs help with their immigration process.

A wonderful journey with an amazing result

I have worked with Mr. Sung Hee Yu for my EB2 for the last few years. It has been a long journey yet is finally done with a successful result. Mr. Yu has always been there to answer my questions and flawlessly worked for my case. He is not only professional but also personable. I highly recommend Mr.... Yu and his law firm!

Excellent experience (J-1 two-year rule waiver)

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Yu for the process of obtaining a waiver for the J-1 two-year foreign residency requirement (212(e)). He gave clear legal counsel and was prompt with all of his communications. I received a waiver, and I am satisfied with both the outcome and the process.

Highly recommended

I worked w/ Sung Hee for my green card application & the process couldn't have gone smoother. I had applied for visas myself in the past and I debated getting a lawyer for the process, but I'm so glad I did. Sung Hee was always very responsive and attentive to my concerns, which made the process a ...lot less stressful. He is also familiar with official Korean documents & when I got an RFE due to an issue w/ a Korean document I submitted, he knew exactly what to do and it got resolved swiftly. He kept track of all key dates, sent me reminders, and prepped me for my interviews. Even though he couldn't be there for the interview because I'm out of state, I felt very well prepared -- I got approved right away & received my green card last week! He runs a top notch, professional practice & I'd wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering working with an attorney for any immigration issues.

Highly Recommended

Working with Sung Hee for my marriage based green card application was very smooth and professional. He was always very responsive and clearly communicated about all the processes and what to do for the next steps. He knew every detail about the Korean documents that I needed to prepare, and that mad...e my journey even more smooth. He also took the time to prepare my husband and I for our interview prior to our actual interview. That and his presence at our interview was so supportive and helpful for us!

"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."
