I-130 and I-1485 Application

Angeline and Maria helped my wife and I through our long process for getting our I-130 and I-1485 approved after we got married. They were both amazing in getting back to us on any questions we had and were vigilant on keeping track of our cases and any pending documents. They stayed on top of all ...the documents and other evidence we needed to submit and each time sent us clear instructions on what we needed to provide. Our I-130 took much longer than expected, but they provided us with options to get help getting it finally approved. Angeline has been my lawyer for sometime while I was on DACA and also helped get my advance parole processed and approved. Without that, I would not have been able to do the I-485. We would both 100% recommend them to anyone looking for help with immigration services.

I got my visa back (that had been revoked)

I am so grateful to my attorneys Mrs. Angeline Chen and ​ Mrs. Maria A. Devia Valles for assisting me through the process to recover my B1/B2 tourist visa for the United States. My visa was revoked and they supported me in getting it back. They were professional, attentive and they knew what the...y were doing and they were an essential help in order to get back my visa, I know that without them I would have never managed! I was positive about hiring them since my first consultation with Mrs. Chen because she was resolutive and smart and I knew there was no one who could help me better in such a complicated case. I am forever grateful to Clark Hill LLP, and I am glad I found them. I would definitely recommend them if you have a complicated case and you are trying to get a revoked visa back. They can help you better than anyone!

HR Manager

I hired Angeline to represent me in helping become a US Citizen and renewing my Green card. I have some items that needed removing on criminal record and Angeline providing me the course to take to to handle that. She then took over my Immigration case by the horns and really was a beast. She was alw...ays very upfront and real. Never gave me false expectations and told me exactly what to expect and how to get to the finish line. Her Assistant Maria Emailed back every time I had a question no matter how small or stupid. They kept me informed about every single thing happening in my case. Both Angeline and Maria were very celebratory when good things happened and geared into action when there was a roadblock to overcome. When I got my notice to interview for my citizenship, I immediately got a notice from Maria, I had not even received the notice myself in the mail. Angeline and I had a meeting and she prepped me and told me exactly what to expect so I would not be nervous. I became a US Citizen last week and I cannot imagine any of it happening without Angeline and Maria. They are absolutely amazing and you absolutely cannot go wrong with hiring them.

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.

Above and Beyond

Ever since I came to the states with my student visa, Angeline and her team helped me throughout the H-1B visa and LPR cases over the span of 2+ years. She quickly responded to all my small questions and provided a peace-of-mind during such a long and stressful process. There were many unexpected eve...nts such as the pandemic and her company's transition, but she was on top of my case. She goes above and beyond to assist and defend you when needed. Work with her!
