Highly recommend

I highly recommend Glen Yu. He helped with my family’s I-485 preparation, and we recently received our green cards. Although, I do not live in Ohio, he was always available to answer my questions or concerns about my application. He was very helpful during the whole process. He has great knowledge... and is highly experienced in the immigration field. I highly recommend Glen Yu to anyone looking for an immigration attorney.

Friendly, Professional and Responsible - Highest Recommend

I strongly recommend Sung Hee "Glen" Yu as your immigration attorney. My EB-2 NIW application started Feb 2019, and it took 1.5 years with 2 RFEs. I got a free consultation from Mr. Yu and I had numerous questions and he answered all my questions professionally and patiently. Whenever my status w...as changed (either good or not), I've asked Mr. Yu what that means and what I need to do, he always calls me immediately and gave me some answers that I can still focus on my work and daily life. His experienced opinions were always turned out to be true and I'm really glad that I filed my NIW application with him. Strongly recommended again!! Just try to get a free consultation, then, you will work with him.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sung Hee

A friend of mine recommended received Green card through Mr. Sung hee Yu and recommended for my Green card process as well. I first reached out to him by email and he answered within an hour. After that, we talked on the phone and after talking to him I knew I wanted to go with him. The whole proces...s was a smooth ride. He always answered my questions in a timely manner and if he is out of town for other clients he let me know ahead of time so I didn't have to worry about a single thing. I am so happy I went with him and now my co-worker is also working with him to get her Green-card. My husband needs Green-card in two years and we are going to ask him to help us again.

Highly recommended!

Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu is very diligent and professional. My wife and I worked with him for our entire green card process, and everything was very smooth. My NIW petition, my wife's J1-waiver, and our I-485 were approved without any RFE. We highly recommend him.

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."
