The best attorney

I had the best experience with Angeline and Maria. She helped me apply for my Adjustment of status through marriage green card and everything came out nice and quick. I was able to get my permanent residency within 6 months of filing. She is very knowledgeable, professional, responsive and was there ...for me the entire process and any questions I had where always answered. I highly recommend her 100% to everyone and will definitely be using her services in the future to file my citizenship.

The best immigration attorney.

We had a terrific experience working with Angeline Chen on my 245 I case, not many attorneys are knowledgeable of that law, but Angeline knew every single aspect of the law and the time for the process to the dot. Angeline and her team were incredibly professional, responsible, and honest throughout... the whole process. I consulted with many law firms and they only were focused on the money I represented than the human aspect of my case. From the first moment, we had the pleasure to speak to Angeline, she explained the process of my case step by step and the time the whole process it will take. She was absolutely correct in everything explained to us. We have nothing more than gratitude to her and her team to help us to obtain our green cards. We highly recommend Angeline Chen and her team for any immigration case, we are sure that you will not be disappointed and every penny invested is worthed. Thank you again Angeline to provide us peace of mind.

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.

Five Star Recommendation

I would definitely recommended Angeline Chen as an immigration attorney. What made her really stand out is that she always made herself available to us and answered our emails promptly. She organized all the requirements we needed, outlined all of the timelines, and kept us on track throughout the wh...ole process. Overall she made everything simple for us. My wife and I felt completely prepared and confident when the time came for our greencard interview. We observed several other couples waiting tentatively in the waiting room. We weren't nervous at all because Angeline had already detailed the interview scenario to us completely and had helped us prepare all of our evidence. We were prepared. You can't find a better immigration attorney than Angeline. She's thoughtful, responsive, cautious (when needed), and very thorough. She was a delight to work with.

Amazing Immigration Lawyer-Highly Recommend

Angeline was incredibly professional, timely and attentive throughout the entire naturalization/citizenship process. She is very knowledgeable about the entire process, and provided clear advice prior to the interviews and application submission. More importantly, she was a calming influence during t...his stressful process. Angeline had been highly recommended to me, and I absolutely recommend her to those seeking an experienced and thoughtful immigration lawyer.

She is one of the very few immigration attorneys who graduated from an Ivy League university and who speaks English, Spanish and Chinese.
