Renae Marie Yoo

Our experience with Renae handling my grandmother’s immigration case was regrettable. We encountered multiple delays, and when seeking updates, were met with impatience and frustration from Renae. She even threatened to drop our case simply because we inquired about its status. Several months int...o the process, Renae informed us that they hadn't received any response from the consulate in Turkey and suggested that we have an Illinois representative intervene - but for a fee. The legality of such a charge was questionable, as I've never heard of a state representative charging citizens for such a task. Communication was a major issue. While trying to set up an appointment, we were offered dates, only to be told later they were unavailable. Additionally, without prior communication, a Zoom meeting was scheduled that we were unaware of and subsequently missed. Our journey culminated in Renae advising us to seek another lawyer, wasting nearly a year of our time. Her office's unprofessionalism was a constant hindrance in our quest for progress.

I got in touch with Renae 2 years ago when I was in the market searching for an attorney to file my EB1A. I consulted a few attorneys, out of which few said I won't succeed in EB1A and a few didn't give me a good vibe. Renae was the only one who gave me comprehensive feedback and a good vibe, hence I... decided to go ahead with her a year ago. Getting an approval for a profile which has high standards or an award already isn't a big deal since any attorney can get it approved, but the one where a profile is actually built up to get to the EB1A standards and have it approved is the real success which shows how competent the attorney is, Renae is one of those highly competent EB1A attorney. A few things which sets her apart from the rest is that she thinks outside of the box, she is fully involved and doesn’t solely rely on paralegals, she answers all queries comprehensively, and a client isn’t just a number or case file, she actually cares about the client and the client’s success. She has EB1A expertise and is well aware of exactly what the USCIS officers are looking for, she got my EB1A-APPROVED in premium. I was very much stressed right after filing, worrying about getting RFE because I have heard that premium filing triggers a RFE most of the time, but getting a straightaway approval in premium in 8 working days from the toughest service center completely blew me away and clearly shows without a doubt that Renae is an expert when it comes to EB1A. I highly recommend her for EB1A, EB2-NIW, O1A. I'd also like to thank her paralegal - Ingrid, who was always on top of things and also contributed to my case. Thank you Renae, you made the rest of my life comfortable, else I'd have been stuck in a decade long backlog to get a green card.

Renae and her team regained us a lost legal status which seemed to me impossible to do. She's always deeply profound in building your case. Renae has never missed even small and important detail. And as a result of Renae's professionalism, our family was approved as permanent residents. Thank you R...enae so much for it. We do appreciate your job!

Renae and her team are extremely professional, kind and get the job done. If anyone is looking for help with immigration, Renae has my highest recommendation. Look no further and work with Renae and her equally awesome team. She will look at your case in detail, explain the options and alternatives a...nd strategically approach the response with complete transparency. I am glad I found her and am extremely satisfied with how my case was handled. 5 stars are not enough.. :)

Renae is in my understanding one of the best immigration attorneys anywhere in the US. She is sharp, smart, organized and a step ahead of anything that may come your way. She knows the law, of course, but also the ins and outs of process and on ground realities. She is strategic and will discuss lega...l ways of achieving outcomes. I hired her after a friend received an excellent outcome through her and I recommend Renae to others who may need her services. She is fair, empathetic and has tonnes of patience. She was totally worth it despite being across the country from my location.
