    Review Susan Han

    Resident immigration process

    Posted by

    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

    Posted by

    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.

    Amazing attorney

    Posted by

    I hired Susan to be my immigration attorney and she was amazing every step of the way. She communicated with me throughout the entire process. Susan was very good and explaining to me the process and was quick to answer any questions I had. Susan is very easy going so it definitely makes the process less nerve wracking. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking to hire an immigration attorney.

I can not tell you how much stress Susan has removed form the process for us and I would recommend her team to any one looking to navigate their way thru the system. Thank You Susan for your help.

    Obtained green card in 7 months

    With Susan's support we were able to obtain an approval within 7 months of submitting the AOS application. Susan guided us throughout the entire process and made every effort to ensure we were fully prepared. Having Susan's expert experience on our side gave us confidence and peace of mind.

    Highly Recommend

    Posted by

    My wife and I hired Susan to guide us through the permanent residence and naturalization processes. We had initially engaged a different attorney and Susan's knowledge and experience was night and day compared to our initial counsel. She helped relieve all the stress in the process and was always very responsive to all our questions. Her interview preparation was spot on and having her with us during the interview was worth it alone. We've already personally recommended her to friends who have had similarly great experiences.

    Highly professional immigration law services!

    Posted by

    My husband and I hired Susan's law firm to help me get through the green card process. After the initial consultation, in which Susan laid out all the steps of the process, we got to work right away! Her firm helped us put together the full application package and promptly sent it to the immigration office. Susan made sure to notify us of any progress being made on the immigration office side. It took a bit longer to have my application processed due to the unexpected pandemic, but at any point did she readily answer all my questions and instantly removed any of my concerns. About a year later we sat at the interview, Susan being there with us. She made sure that everything went smoothly, and even had copies of all our documents that might have been asked for. All went well, and there is no doubt in my mind that it is thanks to Susan's highly organized and very knowledgable approach that the whole process of adjusting my status in the US turned out to be so successful and stress free. We will be contacting Susan and her law firm again with any future needs.
