Testimonials

I highly recommend Emily Sumner and her team for immigration services! They're knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. They guided us through the complex process with ease. Excellent communication and attention to detail. Highly recommended!

Extremely professional, efficient and communicative team, highly recommend!!! It mattered to us that people who worked at Summer Immigration cares about our cases, you would want someone who’s knowledgeable and empathetic for all the questions and (long) processes!!

Sumner Immigration Law is absolutely incredible! They’re very professional, quick to respond and efficient. I’ve worked with them on getting my green card process started and I could have not been happier. Proud green card holder here!

When my I-485 filing date became current in Oct 2020, me and my family attended Emily's online webinar and based on the excellent reviews she received from other clients, we decided to take her help in filing I-485 application for me and my family. She and her team is very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and expert in immigration matters. Their process is very streamlined and easy to follow. Our documents along with photos for the application were thoroughly reviewed by her team before filing our I-485 case. Me and my family sincerely would like to thank her team consisting of Namrata, Ashley and Solange with whom we interacted often for filing our I-485. They are the best in their area of expertise in the immigration field. They helped us in filling the forms online, reviewing documents we submitted and guided us at every step before filing our case. Till today, all our EAD and Advance Parole extensions under the I-485 application has been filed by Emily and her team. It's the quality of their work, open channel of communication and friendly attitude that has encouraged us to always recommend them to others. Me and my family feel very lucky to be a part of their client family. We highly recommend Sumner Immigration for all immigration matters.

Extremely Professional team. They respond quickly and treated my case with the urgency and swiftness required. Working with USCIS for a work related visa application can be a daunting task, but being able to lean on the team at Sumner, made it a pleasant experience. Namrata and Ashley were so efficient, & made sure my papers were filed accurately even though it was leaning into the holidays at the end of 2024 and I strongly believe having a team you can rely on is worth so much considering how stressful immigration situations are. A huge shoutout to Solange as well who made sure things were humming along smoothly and I will definitely be in touch with their team again at the next & appropriate stage of my immigration journey. ps. All my applications were successful & I have the team at Sumner to thank.

I had a positive experience with Sumner. They are always on top of my case and gave me timely updates. Guided me one every step of my application. Thank you.

Fantastic Law Firm! My wife and I had an awesome experience from start to finish. We highly recommend this great Team, very responsive and great guidance throughout the whole process. Lots of love from Cali!!

Sumner Immigration has been so pivotal in navigating the daunting immigration process. I will always appreciate Sumner for their hard work and support. I highly recommend Sumner to anyone needing assistance in immigration law!

I had a wonderful experience working with Sumner Immigration Law for my H-1B transfer. The entire team was incredibly professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the process. They made a complex and stressful process feel smooth and manageable. I truly appreciated their clarity, attention to detail, and timely communication. Highly recommend their services to anyone navigating the immigration process!

Emily is very informative and pleasant to talk with. I look forward to completing the immigration process with her expertise.

An excellent practice with extensive experience. Professional, responsive, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them for immigration related questions or cases.

To put it simply, I would change hundreds of things if I could go back in time—except choosing Emily Sumner and her incredible team. My deepest gratitude goes to Emily, Ashley Colón-Dziegielewski, Solange Bagaria, and the other team members who worked on our family-based immigration case. It’s rare in life to find moments that feel “too good to be true,” but they truly underpromised and overdelivered.

My husband and I retained Sumner Immigration for our family-based immigration case after being referred by a previous client. Choosing an immigration attorney was the most important decision we made together after getting married, and without a doubt, we made the right choice.

From start to finish, the Sumner Immigration team was communicative, detail-oriented, and highly responsive. They genuinely cared about our case and guided us with professionalism and compassion. We are deeply grateful to Emily, Ashley, Solange, and the entire team for supporting us through this journey.

Trust their process—they will get you where you need to be.

I have been working with Sumner for the last 10 years and never had any issues or concerns. Always received the personal attention. There are pro active and transparent about fees and timelines.

My family and I are so grateful to Sumner Immigration Law. They guided us with care and made us feel supported every step of the way. Truly thankful for their help!

A special thank you to Emily Sumner and the rest of the team for their dedication, kindness, and professionalism. They went above and beyond for us, and we will always be grateful.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Sumner over the past three years on a variety of immigration matters, including the H1B lottery and process, H1B transfers, and most recently green card applications. As a small company with a lean HR team, we’ve been incredibly fortunate to have their guidance through these critical processes.

Sumner makes what can feel like daunting and complex steps completely seamless, supporting us at every stage with proactive, clear communication. In addition to being a trusted partner for our HR team, they are excellent at guiding our employee beneficiaries with the same level of care and clarity. Their pricing is also very fair given the outstanding level of service and support they provide.

I cannot recommend Sumner enough — they are a true partner and have been instrumental in helping our company and employees navigate the immigration process with confidence.

Truly Exceptional Service and Expertise—Especially with Complex RFEs!

I cannot recommend Sumner Immigration Law PLC highly enough. My journey through the employment-based green card process was complex, and their expertise and dedication were the sole reason for its successful outcome.

The team managed my initial H-1B transfer and PERM labor certification flawlessly. Both were handled efficiently, and their clear communication made those early stages stress-free.

The true testament to their skill came during the I-140 Immigrant Petition process. When we received a Request for Evidence (RFE), I was naturally concerned. However, the attorneys at Sumner Immigration Law PLC demonstrated exceptional legal strategy and a calm, reassuring approach. They meticulously analyzed the RFE, developed a robust and evidence-backed response, and guided me through every step.

Their comprehensive response cleared the hurdle, and my I-140 was successfully approved. Navigating an RFE is challenging, but they turned a potential setback into a major win. If you need an immigration firm that combines high-level legal acumen with dedicated client support, look no further. They are simply the best.

I'd like take a minute to recognize the work Sumner immigration did for my family and I. We looked online to find a local attorney and Sumner's name showed up more than once. My wife and I inquired with three different attorneys. Solange got back to us so quickly I wondered at first if it was an auto reply! After our initial consultation with Emily we had to wait a couple of weeks to make a decision of who to go with as many things happened at the same time, I knew we were going to make the right one when Emily followed up to see if you had any more questions a few days after. Right then and there I gave her a go ahead and within a couple of days our process started. We had so many things going on at the same time with a heave work load among other things and yet Emily, Ashley, Lisa and Solange were incredible helpful and patient. This is a 100% honest review from my heart, other than an approval by USCIS the only things I wanted was for our marriage based green card case to be handle by professionals, I wanted a firm we could trust since my wife and I are very busy individuals and don't have a lot of time. I know case times will very a lot and that is not up to their firm. However, they insisted on us filing a very strong case with lots of evidence and we did just that. Our case was officially Filed on June 2nd. we received my green card October 2nd. Our case officer himself complimented how well put together our case was. If you read this and you're looking for an attorney, I think that comment alone should decide for you. All the best to Emily and her team and aeveryone going through this stressful process.

We have known Sumner Immigration Law for several years. They guided us through the process of our family-based green card application in 2019–2020, and we had such a wonderful experience working with them that we requested their services again to help us file our application for naturalization.

We deeply appreciate everyone on the team for being exceptionally responsive, patient, and professional. They provide clear, step-by-step guidance throughout the process explaining what documentation is needed to build the strongest case, outlining anticipated timelines, and highlighting important deadlines.

Emily does an amazing job addressing any questions we may have, and she diligently follows up to ensure our concerns are resolved. It is truly a pleasure to work with Emily and the entire Sumner Immigration Law team. They are extremely knowledgeable about the complexities of the immigration process, very passionate about their work, and committed to providing excellent service. Most of all, they are phenomenal people, and we feel honored and privileged to have gotten to know them over the years. We are grateful to everyone at Sumner Immigration Law for their support and wish them continued success and all the best.

I found Emily Sumner through her insightful LinkedIn posts a year ago and have been following her since. When it was time for my husband and I to hire a firm, we reached out to her and couldn’t be happier that we did. Sumner Immigration Law made my green card process smooth and stress-free. Working with Emily, Lisa, Ashley, and Solange was wonderful — they were professional, responsive, and genuinely caring every step of the way. Their attention to detail and clear communication made all the difference. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for expert, trustworthy immigration guidance.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Sumner Immigration Law. We applied for family-based immigration with my wife living and working in Colombia and me in the USA. We travelled internationally to be together all the while trusting the process and our advisors. Emily and the whole team explained every step clearly and gave us needed reassurance at critical points in the process. We were well prepared for her interview in Bogota because of the support we received. The easiest part of the process is to work with Sumner Immigration Law. The hardest part is having the patience to wait. If you do select Sumner Immigration Law, I am quite sure you will have the same exact positive experience!

I used Sumner Immigration for my marriage-based green card as well as my naturalization. It was such a smooth process from start to finish. Emily and the team responded to all my questions in a timely manner and communicated well - i would use them again and again and i couldn't recommend using Sumner Immigration enough! Emily also hosts live or recorded sessions on social media platforms and speaks on a variation of topics which i always found useful in an ever changing immigration world!

Excellent documentation & guidance on H1 , H4 EAD filings and extensions and Sumner addressed all queries / RFE’s - really did a great job.

Emily and her team is exceptionally knowledgeable and dedicated to their clients. They provided outstanding service, offering clear guidance and prompt responses every single time I emailed. Their expertise and attention to detail ensured a smooth process and the best possible outcome for my case. I felt supported and confident relying on them completely. I highly recommend her, you are in good hands.

Sumner has been extremely helpful in all my immigration related requests. I’ve been working with them since 2018 and never have I faced any delay in responses. They’re really the best when it comes to all questions immigration.

Emily and her law firm have been helpful to Luke and our case. I've interacted with her team, and they all knew what was going on in our case, which made us feel good about having their whole support. For background, Luke and I received military orders to Germany while waiting for the I-130 approval and the interview. Emily and her team assisted us in navigating all the legal and administrative processes to ensure we were doing everything correctly. It's a relief to have a knowledgeable and patient team that has answers to all our questions. They reviewed all the documents that we submitted and also held practice interviews to prepare us. With their help, Luke's immigration journey has been easy for us. I'm glad I selected Sumner Immigration Law for our immigration process. I highly recommend reaching out to Sumner Immigration Law for any questions. Navigating the immigration process is difficult enough on your own, so having Sumner Immigration help me through everything was so helpful!

I certainly recommend them. They know in and out about the immigration policies and a friendly team out there to help our needs.

Incredibly grateful to Sumner Immigration Law PLLC for their invaluable assistance with my EB2 Green Card application. Emily demonstrated a deep understanding of immigration law and guided through the complex process with remarkable professionalism and clear communication. Sumner Immigration Law PLLC is highly recommended to anyone seeking top-notch immigration legal services.

Sumner immigration Law, PLLC handled my H1B extension case very smoothly and in timely manner. Much recommended!

We worked with Emily and her team throughout my wife’s green card and eventual citizenship journey, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, Emily was incredibly supportive, attentive, and thorough—always making us feel informed, reassured, and in good hands. The immigration process can be overwhelming and emotional, but Emily’s calm professionalism and genuine care made all the difference.

What stood out most was the way she treated us—not just as clients, but as people. Every question we had was answered promptly, every concern taken seriously, and every step of the process handled with precision. Her team mirrored that same level of dedication and warmth, and we always felt like we had strong advocates on our side.

Thanks to their guidance, my wife is now a U.S. citizen. We’re so grateful for everything they’ve done for us and would wholeheartedly recommend Emily and her team to anyone going through the immigration process.

Wow, I have had experiences with atleast a few 4.5 -5 star rated immigration attorneys and defense attorneys in the past. To be frank, it is tough to find a good lawyer because most have their ratings hyped up while being unprofesssional. After they take their retainer fee, many lawyers usually go down in motivation. But here I have truly found a team that was dedicated all the way through. They were diligent in their work and kept up with the deadlines. They are proactive and faithful in the work. We could pretty much take the back seat since they were handling the work responsibly. They have my highest recommendation.

I reached out to Sumner Law on my N-400 application. I highly recommend this company! Atty. Emily is very knowledgeable and has been nothing but kind to me and how can I forget Solange & Nikita for keeping me updated on everything from A-Z. Thank you for being part of my American journey! More power to all.

The Sumner Immigration team is both knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Our company has partnered with them on numerous cases, including the H-1B Lottery, visa inquiries, and the PERM process. Each time, the Sumner team has responded promptly and efficiently. We greatly appreciate their hard work, dedication, and exceptional service.

I have worked with a lot of immigration attorneys in the past for various needs for family and friends. I have not had to find a new attorney since I got in touch with Emily. I have known her since her early days as an attorney and she was the best one at her job in that office. It was only natural that with continued success with DHS and USCIS, and recommendations from all her clients, that she started her own firm. The best part of it is that she is even more accessible now and with her expertise in the immigration field, she is able to help out quicker than ever.

She worked with me and helped customize my solution to my issues ( as all of you know, immigration rules are the same, but each situation is different). She is very approachable and quick to follow up. You can rely on her advice and she will do everything within the rules of the law to help you succeed.

Apart from being good with what she does, she is a good human being and a delight to deal with.

I wish her all the success in helping others figure out this complex immigration system.

My Green Card got approved! Thank you very much for your help, I highly appreciate it!

The way you have executed the filing procedure was simply perfect, from filing labor to GC approval, your documentation and communication with me was the best. I would specifically like to thank all the personnel from your firm for their very professional and friendly attitude. It was a pleasure having business with you. I will provide my highest recommendation towards your firm among my colleagues and friends. Thank you once again for your help and understanding during such an important process of immigration/naturalization.

After working with Emily I found out Emily is extremly responsive and she truly understands importance of the immigration. Just to give an example, if there any simple question I have, if I drop her an e-mail usually I will get the response within the same hour.

As a client, I have known Ms. Sumner from her immigration seminar at my university at last year. At that time, literally I had no idea or direct for what I have to do to obtain regal status to stay in US, as an Asian single professional woman. However, she helped me to obtain my green card with her professional work and dedication. One of the most impressive her abilities is that she always showed a positive attitude throughout all the process. And I felt extremely at ease working with her at all times, so I can have my life without too much concern and frustration in the long process.

I got my green card actually in my hand in last week (less than 10 months working with her). When I found the official U.S. government envelop including my green card in my mail box, it was one of most relief and happiest moment of my life in US. :D

Thank you so much Emily for all her hard work and positive thinking to help to obtain my green card to legally live in US. Without her it would never have happened.

Great appreciation to her again from the bottom of my hearts....

When I contacted Sumner Immigration, I knew that I had only one chance to find a good lawyer to take care of my case. I had just had a terrible experience with other immigration lawyers, and what I urgently needed was a legal professional who was competent and really willing to fight for the success of my application. What’s more, I needed to find a lawyer who was intelligent, able to understand and handle the complexities of a case, and who would not shrink from a challenge. Not only did Emily Sumner and her team met all of my expectations and needs, but they went far beyond them. My case was a difficult one and it was unnecessarily complicated by miscommunication and misdirection given by other lawyers. In contrast, from the beginning, Emily Sumner was attentive and straightforward, and willing to work with me every step of the way. If I had experienced bad communication before, Sumner Immigration excelled in answering all my questions and giving honest and precise directions; if I had seen a lack of legal strategy and disorganization from my previous lawyers, Emily and her team conducted my case in an orderly fashion and with a clear strategy in mind. Last, but not least, Emily Sumner really understands that immigration cases are not just a set of forms to be filled and checks to be signed, but that they are a fundamental piece of the life of real people who are doing their best to come to America and live under the law of the land.

I have been with Sumner Immigration since 2017. They have been very professional, helpful and exceeded all of my expectations. Nikita and Emily have helped our family throughout the whole process and through their explanations and careful guidance, they have helped lower our stress and anxiety regarding much of the immigration process. In Covid times, many things were unsure, especially the outcomes of immigration policies and legislation. And by sensing this distress in the current environment, Nikita and Emily made sure to schedule frequent zoom meetings, seminars, updates their blogs regarding current and relevant immigration policies; and they have made sure to communicate with their clients regarding any movement immigration legislation that will affect them and their paperwork.

From the very beginning, Sumner Immigration has communicated to their client the realistic timeline expectations in the filing process and they will make their best recommendations to expedite the process. By communicating these realistic expectations in the immigration process, it has allowed my family to better plan our course of actions.

Sumner Immigration will not shy away to answer your questions and concerns, and they will make the complicated immigration process bearable and easier to manage. And believe me, gathering the paperwork, documents, and information is a complicated and tedious process that will require support from experienced veterans in the field.

Needless to say, I have been very satisfied with their work and I will be using their service to get help with my naturalization process! I assure you, if you have any concerns and questions, I recommend you reach out to Sumner Immigration to begin your immigration process.

Emily and Sumner Immigration Law team helped our family with H1B, H4, H4 EAD, I-140, and I-485 application processing. Definitely one of the most experienced, knowledgeable, outstanding, and sensible attorneys out here in the immigration world. Considering the ongoing changes and current processing times due to the global pandemic, it's very important to hire the right law firm and in my opinion, your search ends here with Sumner Immigration Law based out of Richmond, VA. To quote an example, recently Emily and her team filed our adjustment of the status of the application based on October 2020 where she and her amazing team came up with a plan in no time, published it, and met the milestones well ahead of the schedule. I can only imagine the amount of hard work that the team might have put in to do so during the stressful times with enormous volume across all corners, a lot of my friends and family had to file the adjustment of status during the same time, pretty much everyone complained that they were not getting a response from law firms due to peak traffic, but our case is a lot different where Emily and her team are super busy, responded promptly and guided us in every step to finish the documentation. Kudos and take a bow Emily and Sumner Immigration Law team.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Emily beginning in October of 2018. She and her team submitted an adjustment of status request for permanent residence and a couple of other forms for my husband. What we really liked about her practice is the attention to detail and organization they work with. She met with us a few times before submitting everything and gave us guidance on what to expect in the coming months during the process. That was very helpful. They really do strive to submit everything that is required for the process at once to avoid any unnecessary delays and because of that everything with my husband’s case proceeded quickly. We had our joint interview in July 2019 and Emily met with us and helped us prepare for the interview. Although the immigration officer that did our interview told us that we would receive an answer on their decision within a month after the interview, they started to fall behind. Emily and her team were always available to answer any questions we had during the months we were just waiting for their decision and even inquired with them on our behalf. My husband received his green card in early December of 2019 (about 14 months after we submitted paperwork). We are glad we found her office and recommend her 100%.

I have no idea how had I been able to go through the Green Card process without Emily and Nikita. They are so responsive, explain complicated concepts very well, and make you feel calm during a very stressful process. They take care of their clients and check on you to make sure that everything is in order if they have not heard from you in a while. The process of getting a Green Card has gone longer and longer, hence, there are a lot of things to keep in mind during it, especially when you travel. They always answered any questions I had very promptly. I highly recommend Sumner Immigration Law to everyone applying for a Green Card. It's such a great value for a smooth process and peace of mind. I also enjoy being on their email list. They send out relevant information regarding changes to immigration policy and even had a webinar on COVID-19 and its impact on immigration issues.

We cannot praise Sumner Immigration Law highly enough! Emily and her team shepherded us through the process of obtaining a family-based green card (I-130/I-485 adjustment of status). Highly knowledgeable, very kind and friendly, and super responsive, these folks are experts at what they do. From paperwork to interview prep to answering anxious emails and phone calls, we felt at ease during the entire process.

For something as delicate and important as an immigration-related matter, you want a partner by your side who understands the intricacies of the process and can navigate them skillfully. Emily Sumner is that partner. We were referred to her by two friends, and in turn, we have recommended her to friends, and we plan to retain her again in the future.

Sumner Immigration is the professional, responsible, and efficient law firm I have worked with so far. I applied 3 times H-1B visa during the past three years. I got the H-1B lottery on my last chance which was helped by Emily and her team. It still feels like a miracle. But I believe without Emily and her team’s help, it’s possible that the miracle won’t happen forever. At the beginning of the applying process, we faced many obstacles for my H-1B application. I even thought I couldn’t get the visa and I prepared to leave the country. But Emily and her team were always there to provide the best professional advice and optimistic vision to my boss and me. She was not only my lawyer but also a supportive friend on my side. During the process, she guided us to go through the application process step by step clearly and solidly. There wasn’t any misunderstanding and delayed updates. She showed her high standard of professional experience; she understood her client’s pain point and would fight for her client to solve the problem no matter how complicated the situation. Her team always provided us with the newest updates of my application and answered any questions we had. I got the visa successfully without even had the RFE process. I am so glad to work with Sumner Immigration and I really appreciated all the great efforts Emily and her team did for my case.

It's been more than 10 years that I started working with Emily for all immigration matters sponsored by my firm and in the past too. She is so detailed oriented that there will not be any complications in the immigration process. I am extremely impressed by her knowledge of immigration and the way she guides in a positive way. Before working with her I have been working with several other Immigration lawyers but I found Emily is very quick to respond positively and we always had her support in presenting cases. Updates me and my sponsored employees timely for further correspondence and expiry of the dates. She will not watch the clock for each and every transaction. She is one of those lawyers who can trust in any situation. I strongly recommend approaching Emily Sumner for any immigration issues.

She is always available and approachable to take care of her clients

The service received by Emily Sumner and Nikita, was professional while remaining friendly. Emily was confident all the way and had empathy with us, which manifested in her answers to all the strange questions we asked. We looked forward to our meetings with her and the continual feedback helped us through the months of waiting.
It was a pleasure to be under the wing of Sumner Immigration and I highly recommend them to anyone going through the same procedure.
Hooray - we are now the proud holders of our Green Cards thanks to Sumner Immigration!

My husband and I selected Emily Sumner to represent for a marriage-based green card in September 2017. I got married while I was on a tourist visa and didn't know what to do. This was when I did some research and came across Sumner Immigration Law.
Ms. Emily Sumner and her team especially Nikita went above and beyond with answering questions at any time and being as specific as they can with everything I needed.
She has amazing service, very respectful and understanding! She and her professional staff members handled our case and we were more than satisfied. Emily was committed to resolving our case in a timely fashion, I do not have the words to thank her for the time, commitment, and perseverance.
She helped to prepare us for everything at our joint interview with the USICS officer without any complications. The whole process and experience were excellent.

Thanks to her my permanent residence was approved within 6 months of filing the case and I have already received my Green Card.

I would VERY HIGHLY recommend her and her team. Thanks. S.M

I'm very thankful for Emily and Team. As part of my Green Card filling it was very crucial for me to get the PERM and I-140 approved. Sumner Immigration Law very stringent in processing the applications checked all the docs and forms without having any issues. They have a good tracking system.

Sumner Immigration was to put it simply, amazing. Like many, my wife and I had been so little informed about how to help our situation with the immigration process. When we made the initial call to the firm, Mrs. Sumner had set us in the right direction. They made the process from telling us exactly what we needed to have in order, to completing and filing our paperwork, to answering any questions we had to seem too easy. The immediate feedback they provide when we had a question was the most appreciated. We highly recommend this firm!

After going through reviews in Yelp and Google of different Immigration Attorneys, I found Sumner Immigration Law through reviews in Google and I'm pleased to say that they were right! My initial consultation (for a fee) was very positive. Emily talked me through all the steps and approximate timeline for the I-130 Petition filing for my wife who was in Nepal and answered all the questions unique to my situation. I decided to use Sumner Immigration Law for the whole process following that meeting and I can say now I made the right decision as everything got approved within 6 months and finally my spouse is here with me.
Emily and Nikita helped us realize our dream. I would recommend them to ANYONE that is looking for a solid dependable immigration attorney in Richmond, Va. They will do their very best for you, but they will not leave you with false hopes and promises that can't be fulfilled which sadly is the experience that so many of us have when dealing with immigration.
Thanks guys!

(A-Grade) attorney in Richmond, VA. I would like to say thank you. Mrs. Sumner and your team for all the hard work, your expertise in immigration law is unsurpassed. Combine your knowledge along with your patience, insistence, and compassion to help your clients get through a difficult time is so appreciated. You worked with me and explained each step of the process very thoroughly so I would know what would happen next and in what time frame. Again, thank you very much for helping me with bringing my wife and my mother to the United States of America.

Emily is an amazing immigration attorney. Our case was Employment-based AOS under “Cross Chargeability” which some lawyer seems to be unaware of. But Emily had experience and knowledge in handling such cases. She helped us understand the process and guided us every step of the way. We always had a lot of questions for her but she was always there to answer and clear our questions/concerns. Her team is very proactive and organized. We will never ever be able to thank her and the team enough for everything. Sumer Immigration is an attorney that we trust a great deal. We highly recommend Sumner Immigration law firm. THANK YOU, Emily :)

Emily is an (A-Grade) lawyer in town. We filed for my wife's I-485 based on marriage as I already have my Green Card. It took less than 3 months for the whole process. Starting from sending our documents to USCIS till my wife got her Green Card. I panicked so many times during this process, but Emily was always there for us to calm us down and give us positive vibes. One of the examples when the interviewer didn't ask any questions such as where you meet? how did you meet? Nothing. The interviewer told us she will review our case. That's it. So we were confused and scared at the same time even though there was nothing to hide as our marriage is genuine. She helped us prepare for the interview, pointed out our weak points and how we can improve them and make them our strengths. I can't stress this enough, but if you are looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable and help you in your Green Card processing, she is the one.

I have started my American dream back in 2007 and since then, Emily helped me with various non-immigration (H1B)/immigration (PERM, I-140) petitions. She helped me with PERM (first stage of Green Card) in 2010 and it was approved in record time of 43 days. She also helped me with the transition from L-1B to H-1B and extension of stay in H-1B status. At times, due to strict immigration policies, we got complex R.F.E and she helped resolve the situation with her vast experience. I am excited to file my I-485 with her in the near future. My Overall experience with Emily/Sumner Immigration Law Firm: 1) She has a great team of paralegals and an administrative team. 2) The legal team keeps us informed about the status of work. 3) Involve us in the review of few important documents (when needed), so that there won't be any mistakes in the filing. 4) If we have any small questions, we can email the attorney/paralegal and they will get back to us ASAP. If they are tied up with high-priority issues/cases, we will get an update on when we can expect the response. 5) Open for Ad-Hoc consultations. 6) Emily has a very good understanding of international education / technical job experience and knows how to funnel it for the purpose of U.S. immigration.
