Exceptional Service and Expertise in the Green Card Process – Highly Recommend Angeline Chen and Her Team!

I cannot speak highly enough of Angeline Chen and her incredible team! About two years ago, I reached out to her for help with my green card process, and she made what could have been a stressful experience much easier. While my husband is a U.S. citizen, the process was still very important for the ...both of us, and Angeline’s expertise and dedication were evident every step of the way, and took the time to speak to the both of us. From the start, I was impressed by how professional and responsive she and her team were. They were always quick to answer any questions I had and took the time to truly listen and understand the details of my case. They didn’t just rush through the process — they made sure everything was thoroughly considered to ensure the best possible outcome. I was referred to Angeline by a coworker who had only positive things to say about her, and I’m so glad I trusted their recommendation. The entire process went smoothly, and now, as I prepare to renew my green card soon, we will definitely be turning to Angeline and her team again for guidance. Her care, professionalism, and reliability have earned my full trust, and I can’t thank her enough for all of her help! Thank you!

Advanced parole and adjustment of status

As a DACA recipient, I was able to apply for advanced parole. Angeline helped with my application. She advised me on all the necessary documentation and declarations. Throughout the process, she was thorough and answered all of my questions (no matter how small). I was able to visit my sick relativ...e a few months later. Additionally, she helped me and my spouse file an 1-130 and adjustment of status application. I am happy to say that my green card was approved and I am now a proud LPR. I highly reccomend Angeline. I fully intend to refer her to any family or friends who need advice and/or assistance.

Excellent Immigration Attorney!

The firm I work for hired Angeline based on a referral as our counsel for my H-1B application, and we could not be more pleased with our decision. She proved to be very efficient, experienced, communicative and knowledgeable. In addition, she truly cares for her client's success and is great to work ...with. She answered all my questions quickly, and she made sure we understood the process. In short, she made the process a breeze. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs an immigration attorney.

She is one of the very few immigration attorneys who graduated from an Ivy League university and who speaks English, Spanish and Chinese. Angeline and I are considering joining our law practices together."
