Consistently Outstanding Support and Expertise

I have worked with Nadine Chen for over a long time across multiple immigration matters, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most reliable, knowledgeable, and dedicated professionals I have ever worked with. Throughout a long and complex immigration journey that included multip...le filings, renewals, permanent residency, and ultimately citizenship, Nadine was consistently on top of every detail. She tracked deadlines meticulously, followed up proactively, and ensured that every step of the process was handled accurately and on time. Her ability to anticipate issues, clarify requirements, and guide clients through complex procedures made a significant difference in keeping everything on track. What truly sets Nadine apart is her sense of ownership and personal commitment to her cases. She does not treat matters as transactions—she treats them as responsibilities. Her communication is clear, timely, and thoughtful, and she always made sure we understood what was needed and what to expect next. That level of care and consistency builds a tremendous amount of trust over time. I have already referred Nadine to friends and colleagues, and I would gladly continue to serve as a reference for her work. Anyone looking for an immigration professional who combines deep expertise with exceptional client care would be fortunate to work with her.

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.

Efficient... Nadine will get the job done!

Nadine assisted me during my immigration process. She prepared my NIW and I-485 in a timely manner. From the moment I had my initial consultation to the day I got my green card in the mail, she was there every step of the way... She is very knowledgeable of the different immigration processes and pro...vided me with the correct advice. She helped prepared a strong case, gathered all documentation required, including the final memo, which was written superbly! She replied to all my emails inquiries quickly, showing her amazing organizational and time management skills. She is the only lawyer I would ever trust with any immigration matter.

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."
