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.

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+++++

Excellent Immigration Attorney

I hired Angeline Chen to oversee the process for my fiancée (now wife) to come to the US. I can say without reservation that Angeline Chen provided excellent service. I contacted her in April 2015 and she provided a very good free consultation outlining the various options, the likely rate at which ...the different options would progress and the cost for each option. After more research I hired Angeline in August of the same year and I am very happy that my wife is now a permanent US resident more or less exactly one year after I hired Angeline. Here are some the things I really appreciated: - a schedule of flat fees, with no surprises, candid discussion with regard to how long the various options would likely take and being very clear as to the fees for each option and the major events for each options - Careful checking of all the paper work before filling paperwork with USCIS - Timely and clear responses to my questions as the process unfolded - Ability to role play with both me and my wife to give us a sense of what interviews will be like - A genuine empathy that our future life together hung in the balance Angeline was there every step of the way and I feel quite fortunate to have had her excellent skills and professionalism see us through this process. My wife and I are very happy to have had the excellent counsel.
