Just the immigration help you will ever need

I had a messy I360 RFE case. I had a hard time finding another attorney willing to take the case given a very tight timeline. Angeline helped me to rebuild the case in a short period of time. She was there to help when the chips were down

“Better Call Angeline”

This review is long overdue. I found Angeline through immigration law center. One of the staff there heard my story and gave me Angeline’s phone number. I’m so glad that I have found her as she won my case, and due to her excellent knowledge of immigration law I finally became a permanent resident ...of the U.S. My case was really complicated, I had a criminal record and had to fight for that case first. Angeline introduced a criminal lawyer to me, and he helped me vacated the case. During my entire immigration process, Angeline Chen was professional, detail oriented and easy to communicate with. My family and I are extremely grateful to her as she took me out of immigration darkness to light and gave us so much happiness. Angeline is truly the best immigration lawyer and a wonderful person. I recommend her services to all people who need immigration assistance.

Angeline Chen is the best immigration lawyer!!! Five STAR!!!

I have known Angeline Chen for years. As a client, she takes her time. She understands the situation. And she delivers. Angeline is very professional. In the time I've known her, she guided me step by step throughout the entire process. She is always available to answer your questions. She wil...l always side with your circumstance. I have never felt once that she ignored my requests. I understand that everyone has a different circumstance. But she is really great at what she does. She makes you completely comfortable. During the interview, one of her representatives came with me. She was also kind and understanding. It made my day in court so much easier knowing that you have support from Angeline's team. I recommend Angeline Chen for those seeking an immigration status. Her price is reasonable. And her skills are amazing. Not to mention, she is very down to earth. She is a people person. She is the co-founder of Rise to Reunite. They are a group focusing on reuniting families at the border to help those in need. Angeline volunteers her time outside of her immigration office to fight for those at the border. Such treatment include, separation, ice boxes, dog pounds, etc. while being detained waiting at the port of entry. A very compassionate person with a kind heart. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! A+++++

Highly Recommended

From the very beginning Angeline was very warm and welcoming. She was really interested in hearing our stories and we both felt a very close bond with her because of her interest in our lives. Angeline is also very competent and handled all of our inquiries quickly and professionally. As a same... sex couple, we were especially concerned with the new President and how the immigration process would be handled. Both interviews were very tough...especially the final one. I really don't have any animosity towards the immigration officers, but I did find their tactics to be overly rude and harsh... but they are playing a role and you just have to keep a cool head and answer the questions truthfully. Just having Angeline there made all the difference and gave us the confidence to complete the process and make our case. Had she not been there, I may have said something regrettable, so I am very happy that we had Angeline to represent us....she helped me to understand that we just needed to keep calm and answer the questions.
