Prior to working for Sarmiento Immigration, I worked for two immigration law firms and gained experience in the business immigration field, family based immigration areas, and deportation defense.

Absolutely the best attorney I was looking for
I worked with him for my H1b(2019) and I-485(2023). He is the best attorney for a person who needs real help. Base on my experience and as many already know, most of the immigration lawyers are not willing to communicate with their customer much. That is why I decided to work with him for my I-485 ev...

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.
"Glen is an exceptional attorney. He has superior knowledge of the law and extensive experience in all aspects of immigration. With respect to his practice, he genuinely cares about his clients and will go above and beyond to help. I have known Glen for over eight years. What stands out is his true character and nature: he is practical, efficient, and effective in resolving problems."
"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."
