Sumner Immigration Law is the law firm employed by my consulting firm for all immigration related procedures and issues. They helped me for my H1-B transfer process and Green Card application. Everything was done in a timely manner with a clear and concise explanation of the different steps involved, the cost to be incurred and timelines needed to complete the tasks. I personally spoke with Emily during the Green Card application process and was made aware of the timelines for eventually getting the approval. I particularly appreciate all the hard work, commitment and patience Emily and her team put in for my case, Due to a number of factors I had to leave the US as I wasn't able to get the necessary approvals in time. I ended spending nearly 6 months outside the US and during this time there was constant communication and updates regarding the status of my application. Once the approvals were received I got all the paperwork shipped to me quickly so that I could book my visa appointment date and comeback to the US

I highly recommend Sumner immigration. Emily is the professional, responsible! It was my first time to apply to H1B visa and there were many things I confused or worried about the process. Whenever I reached out to her for questions, she replied to me very quickly with detail information. I am glad I could work with her! I couldn't be happier with her help and I really appreciated it! Thank you!!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. When I hire a law firm first and foremost what I am looking for is peace of mind. That’s what I got exactly from Emily Summer and her team. I first used their services after some rather bad experience with my company’s law preferred law firm. One of my colleagues recommended Emily and from the first phone call itself, I had peace of mind. Her in depth knowledge of the immigration law, being up to date with the latest changes, up front counsel and really knowledgeable and helpful staff made my Green Card process a breeze. We received our GC in a record 8 months from start to finish. 5 years later she was the first one we called for our citizenship. I know we could have filed it ourselves but I always look for peace of mind when it comes to immigration and that’s what I get with Summer Law. We are proud US citizens today and Emily Summer and her team have played a huge role in that. We highly recommend them to everyone.

We applied for a marriage based green card. We were going to file on our own, but we were nervous about all the documentation. So we had consultations with several high-rated lawyers in Richmond, but Emily Sumner was the best. She, or one of her highly knowledgeable teammates, would answer all of our questions immediately (and we had so many questions). We had complete confidence in her because she thoroughly explained the process and prepared us for the interview. Our case was a success thanks Emily and her team. We highly recommend Sumner Law!

Emily and Nikita were not only wonderful but immensely patient with us. Emily was always quick to respond and provide in-depth explanations for all of our questions. After our initial consultation, we felt confident in hiring Emily for our Adjustment of Status application. Even more helpful was the fact that Emily provides an hour long prep session before the interview! I have already referred her to several friends, and if I ever need another immigration attorney, I will retain her again.

My company hired Sumner Immigration for my H1B filing. Emily's team was very professional and always stayed on top of things. Everything from document preparation, LCA to case status communication was handled smoothly. My HR or myself never had to reach out to check progress of the filing. Moreover, Emily always provided excellent guidance on questions regarding alternate work authorization and/or green card filing.

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 person. 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 H1B visa during the past three years. I got the H1B lottery on my last chance that was helped by Emily and her team. It still feels 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 H1B 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 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 is. Her team always provided us with the newest updates of my application and answered any questions we had on time. 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.

My company uses Emily Sumner's immigration firm for all immigration needs, and for good reason - she is very knowledgeable and professional, and knows how to handle tough cases, like mine. My H1B with my first company was denied and i had essentially lost all hopes but then we filed another petition for the same position with my current company and with her expertise, help, and guidance we got it passed. It was a pretty complicated case and there was an RFE like she suspected there would be one. But she always had a plan and then a backup plan. Once she responded to the rfe we got the approval within 15 days!! I would highly recommend her for any immigration needs.

I got the H1B lottery on my last chance that was helped by Emily and her team. It still feels 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 H1B 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 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 is. Her team always provided us with the newest updates of my application and answered any questions we had on time. 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.

My company uses Emily Sumner's immigration firm for all immigration needs, and for good reason - she is very knowledgeable and professional, and knows how to handle tough cases, like mine. My H1B with my first company was denied and i had essentially lost all hopes but then we filed another petition for the same position with my current company and with her expertise, help, and guidance we got it passed. It was a pretty complicated case and there was an RFE like she suspected there would be one. But she always had a plan and then a backup plan. Once she responded to the rfe we got the approval within 15 days!! I would highly recommend her for any immigration needs.

Sumner Immigration Law is the law firm employed by my consulting firm for all immigration related procedures and issues. They helped me for my H1-B transfer process and Green Card application. Everything was done in a timely manner with a clear and concise explanation of the different steps involved, the cost to be incurred and timelines needed to complete the tasks. I personally spoke with Emily during the Green Card application process and was made aware of the timelines for eventually getting the approval. I particularly appreciate all the hard work, commitment and patience Emily and her team put in for my case, Due to a number of factors I had to leave the US as I wasn't able to get the necessary approvals in time. I ended spending nearly 6 months outside the US and during this time there was constant communication and updates regarding the status of my application. Once the approvals were received I got all the paperwork shipped to me quickly so that I could book my visa appointment date and comeback to the US

I highly recommend Sumner immigration. Emily is the professional, responsible! It was my first time to apply to H1B visa and there were many things I confused or worried about the process. Whenever I reached out to her for questions, she replied to me very quickly with detail information. I am glad I could work with her! I couldn't be happier with her help and I really appreciated it! Thank you!!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. When I hire a law firm first and foremost what I am looking for is peace of mind. That’s what I got exactly from Emily Summer and her team. I first used their services after some rather bad experience with my company’s law preferred law firm. One of my colleagues recommended Emily and from the first phone call itself, I had peace of mind. Her in depth knowledge of the immigration law, being up to date with the latest changes, up front counsel and really knowledgeable and helpful staff made my Green Card process a breeze. We received our GC in a record 8 months from start to finish. 5 years later she was the first one we called for our citizenship. I know we could have filed it ourselves but I always look for peace of mind when it comes to immigration and that’s what I get with Summer Law. We are proud US citizens today and Emily Summer and her team have played a huge role in that. We highly recommend them to everyone.

We applied for a marriage based green card. We were going to file on our own, but we were nervous about all the documentation. So we had consultations with several high-rated lawyers in Richmond, but Emily Sumner was the best. She, or one of her highly knowledgeable teammates, would answer all of our questions immediately (and we had so many questions). We had complete confidence in her because she thoroughly explained the process and prepared us for the interview. Our case was a success thanks Emily and her team. We highly recommend Sumner Law!

Emily and Nikita were not only wonderful but immensely patient with us. Emily was always quick to respond and provide in-depth explanations for all of our questions. After our initial consultation, we felt confident in hiring Emily for our Adjustment of Status application. Even more helpful was the fact that Emily provides an hour long prep session before the interview! I have already referred her to several friends, and if I ever need another immigration attorney, I will retain her again.

My company hired Sumner Immigration for my H1B filing. Emily's team was very professional and always stayed on top of things. Everything from document preparation, LCA to case status communication was handled smoothly. My HR or myself never had to reach out to check progress of the filing. Moreover, Emily always provided excellent guidance on questions regarding alternate work authorization and/or green card filing.

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 person. 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.

Moreover, Emily always provided excellent guidance on questions regarding alternate work authorization and/or green card filing.

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 person. 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 H1B visa during the past three years. I got the H1B lottery on my last chance that was helped by Emily and her team. It still feels 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 H1B 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 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 is. Her team always provided us with the newest updates of my application and answered any questions we had on time. 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.

My company uses Emily Sumner's immigration firm for all immigration needs, and for good reason - she is very knowledgeable and professional, and knows how to handle tough cases, like mine. My H1B with my first company was denied and i had essentially lost all hopes but then we filed another petition for the same position with my current company and with her expertise, help, and guidance we got it passed. It was a pretty complicated case and there was an RFE like she suspected there would be one. But she always had a plan and then a backup plan. Once she responded to the rfe we got the approval within 15 days!! I would highly recommend her for any immigration needs.

Sumner Immigration Law is the law firm employed by my consulting firm for all immigration related procedures and issues. They helped me for my H1-B transfer process and Green Card application. Everything was done in a timely manner with a clear and concise explanation of the different steps involved, the cost to be incurred and timelines needed to complete the tasks. I personally spoke with Emily during the Green Card application process and was made aware of the timelines for eventually getting the approval. I particularly appreciate all the hard work, commitment and patience Emily and her team put in for my case, Due to a number of factors I had to leave the US as I wasn't able to get the necessary approvals in time. I ended spending nearly 6 months outside the US and during this time there was constant communication and updates regarding the status of my application. Once the approvals were received I got all the paperwork shipped to me quickly so that I could book my visa appointment date and comeback to the US

I highly recommend Sumner immigration. Emily is the professional, responsible! It was my first time to apply to H1B visa and there were many things I confused or worried about the process. Whenever I reached out to her for questions, she replied to me very quickly with detail information. I am glad I could work with her! I couldn't be happier with her help and I really appreciated it! Thank you!!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. When I hire a law firm first and foremost what I am looking for is peace of mind. That’s what I got exactly from Emily Summer and her team. I first used their services after some rather bad experience with my company’s law preferred law firm. One of my colleagues recommended Emily and from the first phone call itself, I had peace of mind. Her in depth knowledge of the immigration law, being up to date with the latest changes, up front counsel and really knowledgeable and helpful staff made my Green Card process a breeze. We received our GC in a record 8 months from start to finish. 5 years later she was the first one we called for our citizenship. I know we could have filed it ourselves but I always look for peace of mind when it comes to immigration and that’s what I get with Summer Law. We are proud US citizens today and Emily Summer and her team have played a huge role in that. We highly recommend them to everyone.

We applied for a marriage based green card. We were going to file on our own, but we were nervous about all the documentation. So we had consultations with several high-rated lawyers in Richmond, but Emily Sumner was the best. She, or one of her highly knowledgeable teammates, would answer all of our questions immediately (and we had so many questions). We had complete confidence in her because she thoroughly explained the process and prepared us for the interview. Our case was a success thanks Emily and her team. We highly recommend Sumner Law!

Emily and Nikita were not only wonderful but immensely patient with us. Emily was always quick to respond and provide in-depth explanations for all of our questions. After our initial consultation, we felt confident in hiring Emily for our Adjustment of Status application. Even more helpful was the fact that Emily provides an hour long prep session before the interview! I have already referred her to several friends, and if I ever need another immigration attorney, I will retain her again.

So we had consultations with several high-rated lawyers in Richmond, but Emily Sumner was the best. She, or one of her highly knowledgeable teammates, would answer all of our questions immediately (and we had so many questions). We had complete confidence in her because she thoroughly explained the process and prepared us for the interview. Our case was a success thanks Emily and her team. We highly recommend Sumner Law!

Emily and Nikita were not only wonderful but immensely patient with us. Emily was always quick to respond and provide in-depth explanations for all of our questions. After our initial consultation, we felt confident in hiring Emily for our Adjustment of Status application. Even more helpful was the fact that Emily provides an hour long prep session before the interview! I have already referred her to several friends, and if I ever need another immigration attorney, I will retain her again.

My company hired Sumner Immigration for my H1B filing. Emily's team was very professional and always stayed on top of things. Everything from document preparation, LCA to case status communication was handled smoothly. My HR or myself never had to reach out to check progress of the filing. Moreover, Emily always provided excellent guidance on questions regarding alternate work authorization and/or green card filing.

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 person. 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 H1B visa during the past three years. I got the H1B lottery on my last chance that was helped by Emily and her team. It still feels 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 H1B 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 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 is. Her team always provided us with the newest updates of my application and answered any questions we had on time. 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.

My company uses Emily Sumner's immigration firm for all immigration needs, and for good reason - she is very knowledgeable and professional, and knows how to handle tough cases, like mine. My H1B with my first company was denied and i had essentially lost all hopes but then we filed another petition for the same position with my current company and with her expertise, help, and guidance we got it passed. It was a pretty complicated case and there was an RFE like she suspected there would be one. But she always had a plan and then a backup plan. Once she responded to the rfe we got the approval within 15 days!! I would highly recommend her for any immigration needs.

Sumner Immigration Law is the law firm employed by my consulting firm for all immigration related procedures and issues. They helped me for my H1-B transfer process and Green Card application. Everything was done in a timely manner with a clear and concise explanation of the different steps involved, the cost to be incurred and timelines needed to complete the tasks. I personally spoke with Emily during the Green Card application process and was made aware of the timelines for eventually getting the approval. I particularly appreciate all the hard work, commitment and patience Emily and her team put in for my case, Due to a number of factors I had to leave the US as I wasn't able to get the necessary approvals in time. I ended spending nearly 6 months outside the US and during this time there was constant communication and updates regarding the status of my application. Once the approvals were received I got all the paperwork shipped to me quickly so that I could book my visa appointment date and comeback to the US

Thank you!!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. When I hire a law firm first and foremost what I am looking for is peace of mind. That’s what I got exactly from Emily Summer and her team. I first used their services after some rather bad experience with my company’s law preferred law firm. One of my colleagues recommended Emily and from the first phone call itself, I had peace of mind. Her in depth knowledge of the immigration law, being up to date with the latest changes, up front counsel and really knowledgeable and helpful staff made my Green Card process a breeze. We received our GC in a record 8 months from start to finish. 5 years later she was the first one we called for our citizenship. I know we could have filed it ourselves but I always look for peace of mind when it comes to immigration and that’s what I get with Summer Law. We are proud US citizens today and Emily Summer and her team have played a huge role in that. We highly recommend them to everyone.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. When I hire a law firm first and foremost what I am looking for is peace of mind. That’s what I got exactly from Emily Summer and her team. I first used their services after some rather bad experience with my company’s law preferred law firm. One of my colleagues recommended Emily and from the first phone call itself, I had peace of mind. Her in depth knowledge of the immigration law, being up to date with the latest changes, up front counsel and really knowledgeable and helpful staff made my Green Card process a breeze. We received our GC in a record 8 months from start to finish. 5 years later she was the first one we called for our citizenship. I know we could have filed it ourselves but I always look for peace of mind when it comes to immigration and that’s what I get with Summer Law. We are proud US citizens today and Emily Summer and her team have played a huge role in that. We highly recommend them to everyone.

We applied for a marriage based green card. We were going to file on our own, but we were nervous about all the documentation. So we had consultations with several high-rated lawyers in Richmond, but Emily Sumner was the best. She, or one of her highly knowledgeable teammates, would answer all of our questions immediately (and we had so many questions). We had complete confidence in her because she thoroughly explained the process and prepared us for the interview. Our case was a success thanks Emily and her team. We highly recommend Sumner Law!

Emily and Nikita were not only wonderful but immensely patient with us. Emily was always quick to respond and provide in-depth explanations for all of our questions. After our initial consultation, we felt confident in hiring Emily for our Adjustment of Status application. Even more helpful was the fact that Emily provides an hour long prep session before the interview! I have already referred her to several friends, and if I ever need another immigration attorney, I will retain her again.

My company hired Sumner Immigration for my H1B filing. Emily's team was very professional and always stayed on top of things. Everything from document preparation, LCA to case status communication was handled smoothly. My HR or myself never had to reach out to check progress of the filing. Moreover, Emily always provided excellent guidance on questions regarding alternate work authorization and/or green card filing.

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 person. 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 H1B visa during the past three years. I got the H1B lottery on my last chance that was helped by Emily and her team. It still feels 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 H1B 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 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 is. Her team always provided us with the newest updates of my application and answered any questions we had on time. 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.

My company uses Emily Sumner's immigration firm for all immigration needs, and for good reason - she is very knowledgeable and professional, and knows how to handle tough cases, like mine. My H1B with my first company was denied and i had essentially lost all hopes but then we filed another petition for the same position with my current company and with her expertise, help, and guidance we got it passed. It was a pretty complicated case and there was an RFE like she suspected there would be one. But she always had a plan and then a backup plan. Once she responded to the rfe we got the approval within 15 days!! I would highly recommend her for any immigration needs.
