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.

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.

Trustable lawyeer

My family worked with Atty. Yu for EB-2/NIW process. I was surprised at his ability to make my career more impressive and attractive without exaggeration based on facts, which was really helpful to me because I was not so competitive as a graduate student as other excellent applicants. Simultaneously..., that is also lawyers' capacity I believe. Another his capacity is that he always tried to make me understand clearly how each process works, for example, explaining some statements and definitions including jargons in simpler and straightforward ways. Moreover, he was fairly responsive with my concerns and questions related to this green card process as well as other personal issues. Last but not least, whenever he reached out to me via phone call, Sung hee always asked after me and my family, mentioning he would pray for this whole process. I think this can be seen even in the business relationship between lawyer and client in one Christian faith. This was an exceptional and unforgettable part I would not be able to see in other lawyers.

Professional, prompt, honest and knowledgable - highly recommend

We worked with Glen Yu and he was very professional, prompt, honest and knowledgeable. Glen was always there for us answering all our questions (silly and serious) at all times of the day. I would gladly recommend Glen for any immigration related things.

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.

"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."
