Highly Recommend – Expert, Caring, and Efficient!

Attorney Yu was incredible during my marriage green card process. From day one, he really took the time to understand our situation and guide us through every step. He answered all our questions (and trust me, we had a lot!) with patience and clarity. Because of his dedication and expertise, I got my... green card in just a few months. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows the ins and outs of immigration, Attorney Yu is your guy. Highly recommend!

Two Thumbs Up!!!

I have had the privilege of collaborating with Sung Hee for over four years in securing my green card through the National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. From the initial preparations for the I-140 application to the successful completion of my recent interview and subsequent approval of the Immigra...tion visa at the Seoul embassy, Sung Hee has consistently demonstrated responsiveness, reliability, and a high level of competence in handling the complexities of the immigration process. Throughout this entire journey, Glen has exhibited unwavering professionalism, providing empathetic support during challenging moments and displaying remarkable patience in navigating intricate situations. His expertise has been instrumental in overcoming obstacles, and without his guidance and reassuring words, I might have been discouraged from persevering through this lengthy and often frustrating process. I wholeheartedly recommend Sung Hee, along with this law firm, to individuals seeking professional and compassionate assistance for various U.S. visa-related issues. Their commitment to excellence and caring support makes them invaluable partners in navigating the complexities of immigration procedures.

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.

Excellence at its finest!

My husband and i had a great experience working with Attorney Sung Hee and all the Sarmiento Immigration Law team. Not only does he respond to all questions on a timely manner, he also show a human touch and sensitiveness that makes you feel that you are working with a partner not a businessman. We ...hired attorney Sung Hee to obtain my green card with a quite complicated case, but he delivered and provided top notch service. I was able to obtain my green card within a year. I would definitely hire Attorney Sung Hee. The fees are very good and you will not be disappointed.

Green Card Application for a Fashion Designer

My wife and I would like to thank Attorney Glen so much for all the hard work in helping us to obtain our permanent residence in the United States. I had several meetings with other lawyers that left me feeling not confident and doubtful about their services. On the contrary, Mr. Glen knew all th...e answers to my questions and right away offered alternative ways to deal with our options. This is why we chose Attorney Glen regardless of remoteness between Ohio and California. He was a light of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nearly impossible. Not only was he able to help us file all required documents in timely manner, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support to myself and those I care about most. My wife and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Attorney Glen Yu without reservation.

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."
