Exceptional Attorney Who Turned My Denial into Approval

Nadine Chen at Chugh LLP successfully handled my EB2-NIW case after a prior denial with another attorney. She combined deep legal expertise with a clear understanding of current USCIS challenges, tailoring my petition to recent guidelines and building strong, simplified arguments for adjudicators. ... She also acted as a case manager, overseeing details like the business plan, and ensured every piece fit together. Throughout the process, she was consistently available and proactive — I never had to chase her for updates. Thanks to her guidance and dedication, my EB2-NIW was approved. I highly recommend Nadine for anyone seeking a knowledgeable, responsive, and committed immigration attorney.

Professional, hard working and goes above and beyond expectation

Nadine helped me with NIW filing and from the time we had our first phone call I knew she was the attorney I’m looking for. Her requests were very specific making sure I give her the right information. She was always available to answer questions (I never had to wait for more than a couple of hours ...for a response). On top of that, the passion you see when dealing with her is just amazing. As I was dealing with her, I felt like the case she was drafting was her and not mine. She really went above and beyond to ensure a solid case was put together and I got the approval very smoothly.

Awesome Attorney

Nadine is one of the best immigration attorneys I know. She helped me with my h1b case for the first time, and received excellent result very quickly. This year when I was renewing my status and received an RFE. I can see she has spend a tremendous amount of time working and perfecting my case. Throu...ghout the process, she was honest about the assessment of the situation, provided many ideas, and keep me updated every step of the way. I am impressed by her knowledge of law, well written petitions, creative strategies, and responsiveness. I would recommend Nadine to anyone who needs an immigration attorney.

Green Card - EB-2 NIW Package

Nadine's work was a critical factor towards my recent reciept of a US Green Card via the EB-2 NIW route. She did a very thorough job of reviewing the supporting documents provided, formulating a strategy for the petition, working closely to support recommendation letter authors, and drafting a very h...igh quality attorney memo with supporting legal analysis. Overall the process was far smoother than I originally expected thanks to Nadine's help. I am grateful for her professional expertise and it was also a pleasure to work with her.

Relationship: Friend

"Nadine has built a broad immigration practice in a very short amount of time. There are many excellent immigration lawyers who can get their clients good results. But, what separates Nadine from her peers is the rapport she develops with each client and the tenacity with which she represents them. Her ability to pinpoint how her clients' unique stories fulfill the relevant visa or immigration requirements allows difficult cases to receive fair consideration and straightforward cases to be processed more quickly."

"I had the complete pleasure of working with Nadine Chen earlier this year on an immigration matter. She's extremely compassionate and dedicated to her work. Her detail-oriented approach is a necessity in the world of immigration law. She's an extremely quick study, which is highly impressive given the esoteric intricacies of immigration law. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer and -- given the opportunity -- would hire her without hesitation."
