Resident immigration process

My husband and I are VERY please with Susan Han and her staff. They started out the process with a consultation and based on their experience they gave info on what to expect and and the steps that it will take. They submitted our paper work to immigration in Oct 2015 and we just got approve for my husbands resident in Jan 2016 and believe my husbands case was very difficult since he had about 18 police charges filed under his name. Everyone in our family would say he would never had a chance to become a resident but thanks to the services of Susan and her staff he got approve without hesitation! In the interview Susan was with us and made sure we were taken care by her services without any extra fees to pay. Couldn't have gone to a better place than with Susan n her staff! My money was well invested and we are grateful for her service!! We will continue to go to her office for the next few steps so my husband can become a U.S. Citizenship!! By the way Susan n her staff rock and relate to u on a personal level :) u guys R the BEST!!!!

Above and beyond. Miracle worker

Before coming to Susan my situation was bleak. My company had attempted a L1 petition without seeking counsel and needless to say it came back as rejected. I insisted we use a lawyer and that's when I came across Susan. Right from the first meeting she showed an incredible amount of knowledge in the field of immigration and laid out exactly what the next steps had to be. She always kept me apprised of updates and anything else she thought would help my cause. The petition she sent to the immigration service was outstanding. My case was not only reopened (against all odds!) but granted, without any need for further evidence. Remarkable work. Would highly recommend.

Professionalism and attention to details

I had the pleasure of working with Susan as my immigration attorney, and I can confidently say that she was outstanding in every way. My case was pretty complicated but from the moment I contacted her, she was well-organized, professional, and always easy to reach out to. She answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly, and always kept me up-to-date with the progress of my case. She was always on point with my case, and I felt reassured knowing that she had everything under control. Overall, I would highly recommend Susan to anyone who needs an immigration attorney. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about her clients. Thank you, Susan, for your excellent work!

My Experience with Susan Han

Hello-I am wanting to share my experience with Susan and her team as i had a very sensitive case that labored for 9 years and was a very successful outcome as all odds were against me. Her level of expertise, relationships with high level judges and DHS, is by far so crucial for a positive outcome! Not only was she my attorney, but i truly call her my friend as we established such a bond during the duration of my matter. I strongly urge anyone that needs such representation to seek no further!! The absolute best of the best! THANK YOU Susan!

Knowledgeable, Responsive, Efficient

Susan made our marriage-based immigration process straightforward and has tools to help streamline all of the paperwork. She was accommodating of our schedules, was fast to respond to any concerns or questions. The applications were processed quickly without any issues, and we would certainly recommend her!

Posted by Michael | November 24, 2022

Keen, thorough and efficient,

I contacted Han when I was in the middle of a difficult situation. I hired her and she made the process incredibly easy, and efficient. The two issues regarding my green card were solved, and she was also successful in attaining the approval of my naturalization. She completely changed my situation, with her competency and hard work.

Very satisfied with this lawyer

After our negative experience with our previous lawyer who basically underserved us we were lucky enough to hire Ms. Han who was able to help use her extensive experience and know how of immigration law to help my wife get her green card and social security card in a short matter of time. She did an excellent job

Posted by Sean | June 6, 2022

Invaluable help!

We worked with Susan on a marriage-based adjustment of status case. She was always on top of things, very knowledgeable and prompt in getting back to all our questions. Very pleasant to work with, too. We would strongly recommend working with Susan!

Susan is the best immigration attorney you can find in town!

I first met Susan in 2017 for a general consulting session. Unlike other immigration attorneys who urge me to sign up for something, Susan provided me with very realistic advice after thoroughly analyzing my situation. Her professionalism is why I decided to go back to her and start the journey when I was ready. Fast forward 2.5 years. I made the right decision. Susan was there for every step that I needed to know, and she's always available when I have questions or concerns. Being in this country for more than a decade in a deep struggle with my legal status, I thought I knew enough to get all these done myself, but I was wrong. Working with a true professional like Susan, you won’t get lost in the maze of this broken immigration system, and peace of mind is always guaranteed. Thank you, Susan, for pulling me out of the 17 years of darkness and putting me under the sun again.

Can't recommend highly enough!

Working with Susan these past few years has been nothing but excellent. My case was initially for an adjustment of status for an LGBTQ+ marriage that turned into a VAWA case as it progressed. Through the ups and downs of my case and the pandemic, Susan remained vigilant in keeping my best interest in mind at all times. I never had to reach out to her for help because before I would need to, she would've already reached out to me to guide me and make sure I was on top of preparing any documents I may need. She made me feel that she personally cared for the outcome of my case and wanted me to succeed. She prepped me on every possible situation that could arise and always covered all her bases, showing me that she's incredibly experienced and making me feel much less anxious as a result. Today I received the news that my case was approved and I got my green card! I can't recommend Susan enough. Thank you!

Great experience

She helped me with my Permanent Resident application and it went smoothly. I appreciate that she's very direct and knows what's important for the application. The prep for the interview was very thorough, and that helped me and my wife feel really prepared.

LGBTQI+ Marriage - Adjust of Status to Permanent Resident - Wonderful Experience

My husband and I contacted Susan Han for a consultation about my process of adjustment of status. Susan was very diligent and polite when describing the entire process, she proved to be a very knowledgeable and an ethical individual, so we decided to hire her services. The whole process from gathering all the information, filling out the proper documentation, get us prepared for the interview and attending to the day of our interview with USCIS was very smooth. Susan was always very proactive and responsive, she is very communicative and has a solid knowledge of immigrations law. We felt very safe and satisfied with the way she addressed our case. Susan is a great attorney and you should hire her services to represent you in all USCIS endeavors, highly recommended.

Citizenship process

I hired an Attorney 2 years ago to help me with my naturalization process because I have problems in my record, but unfortunately I noticed later he is not professional and knowledgeable. So I found Suzan which she was very confident and knowledgeable and professional from the first meeting, she asked to provide extra documents to support my case during the interview, but the officer didn’t took in consideration the documents, so Suzan appeal and she took care of every detail during the appeal and she won the case. To everyone reading this review, don’t waste your time and your money go directly to Suzan which she has experience more than 20 years, thank you Suzan for your time and your patience you are really super lawyer

The best immigration lawyer ever

Susan is a razor-sharp extremely professional and knowledgeable attorney. I truly couldn't give somebody a higher recommendation. She's one of those rare people who are just jaw-droppingly good at their job. If you are reading this and considering hiring/retaining an immigration lawyer stop thinking and go with Susan. I even signed up for avvo to post this....

Naturalization through a waiver of admissibility

I’m so grateful for Susan’s expertise and guidance through my immigration challenges. After 10 years of thinking it would be impossible to get U.S. Citizenship, Susan helped me through the process and I finally have my Citizenship.

Posted by Juan | November 2, 2021

Excellent Lawyer

Let me start by saying that Susan is perhaps the best immigration lawyer I have encountered. Coming from a family of first generation immigrants, I have interacted with more immigration lawyers than most people. My grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins have for the most part used an immigration lawyer at some point. Out of all of them, I would absolutely pick Susan again. She's a no nonsense, straight-to-the-point professional. She's always available to you if you need to contact her, and she's usually the first to contact you when something needs to be done. All in all my process was fairly quick, about 5 months from the time we applied to when I received my green card. It was very quick considering how long the same process was taking just a year ago. Susan was there the whole time making sure everything went smoothly. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a good lawyer.
