About Susan

I, Susan S. Han, am a Certified Specialist in Immigration & Nationality Law. I have been practicing immigration law for 22 years. I have extensive experience in Immigration Law  and for the past 20 years, have helped thousands of people obtain or keep their legal status in the U.S. I have vast experience in handling all aspects of immigration law including Family-based and Employment-based petitions, DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Business and investment visas, asylum, NACARA, U visas, citizenship and naturalization, deportation/removal defense,and appeals at all levels.
 
I was selected as a “Super Lawyer” by my colleagues and peers, and have been named as one of the “Top Lawyers in Southern California” as featured in Los Angeles Magazine from 2010 - 2021. I have contributed to the American Immigration Lawyer's Association ( AILA)  Immigration Law Toolbox, a guide for practitioners, as well as been invited to speak at AILA's national conference in 2016, 2017 and 2018, and have spoken on various immigration topics at many seminars.
 
In addition to my practice, I have also taught Immigration Law for the Paralegal Program as an adjunct professor at California State University, Los Angeles, and have been on panels for various legal organizations such as AILA, LACBA, Pincus Educational, giving seminars on immigration issues.

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I graduated with a Juris Doctor degree from Southwestern University School of Law where I earned the American Jurisprudence Award in Constitutional Law. I was also selected to be a member of the Moot Court Honors Program. 

I am admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of California, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. I am an active member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the Korean-American Bar Association, and the Los Angeles County Bar Association.

 

My office speaks English, Spanish, and Korean.
