About

My family and I arrived in this country when I was fourteen years old. As a child and a nonimmigrant, my status influenced my calling, and I attended law school pursuing immigration law and human rights law. I am a former dependent of a student visa holder,  I am a former out of status alien,I am a former permanent resident, and now, I am an American citizen by Naturalization. I began my career with the Department of Cultural Affairs for the City of Chicago. After law school, I served as a Judicial clerk for the Honorable Judge Sheldon Gardner and then as an Attorney for the Office of the Chief Judge for the Circuit Court of Cook County in Chicago. With the city, I advised on appellate reviews of most civil issues. In New York, I developed an attorney secondment practice for Fortune 500 corporations and investment banks in the New York City Metro area. Currently, with the Normandy Law Group, I advise on immigration matters, including family, corporate, and employment immigration matters.I am a director for the Alliance for the Advancement for Equal Rights, and a pro bono managing attorney for Equality Alliance. I have served as the Diversity Chairperson for the Chicago Bar Association YLS.

Glen has been a super important support during my immigration process in the US. He has been there since the beginning, ups and downs. He has helped my husband and I tremendously. I truly recommend him for any immigration issue/process you may deal with. Thank you again Glen!

Glen took his time to explain all things to us. He helped us to solve an immigration problem that had been hanging for almost 4 years. He knows his job well and his charges are very affordable. I thank God for helping us meet him.

Glen moves heaven and earth to do his job. He’s always in contact with us regarding my process. Not once he declined a call or answered my questions. Even during the weekends he’s available! I can’t thank you enough Glen!

Where do I even start?? I guess I’ll start with the fact that USCIS provided me with the wrong Receipt number for my K1-Visa! At that time I was pregnant with my son awaiting for a response from the USCIS. Thankfully Attorney Glen Raj immediately contacted the Deputy Director of Constituent Services at Congressman Eliot L. Engel (16th District) office once he realized the process was taking unusually longer than expected. Mr. Raj was able to get my case expedited and have the correct receipt number emailed to us within 1 week. Due to my delicate state, Mr. Raj was constantly in contact with the USCIS and the Congressman’s office working day and night to get my fiancé here. And I know this for a fact because he would email me even after hours for additional information that was needed for my case. After exactly 12 months of waiting, my fiancé is finally on his way to America! I know, if the USCIS didn’t delay my case, my fiancé would have been here within 6 months with help from Mr. Knowledgeable Glen Raj! He truly is an awesome, reliable and caring attorney!! Most attorneys just want your money, but Mr. Raj cares about his clients. I recommend him 100%!

I think the title summarizes everything. I have hired services from Atty Raj regarding immigration matter for me and my family. He has been outstanding at every step of the way, including explanation of the process, document gathering, verification, submission, answering any queries that I had at any time along the process. My case met with RFEs which were beyond our control. Not only did he co-ordinated the issue with my previous immigration attorneys, he got my case expedited through USCIS. I cannot stress enough how lucky we have been to have Glen standing with us every step of the way. I highly recommend him without any reservation.

My husband's immigration case seems to have came with every possible frustrated situation anyone can tolerate, however, with patience, diligence, well informed information, unerstanding of the sensitivity of the case, and a very positive attitude Mr. Raj has sailed my husband's immigration matters to the safety of the American shores. Thank you Mr Raj for standing so firmly behind my husband's immigration case. Without your dedicated efforts, it seems almost impossible to finally get my husband in America with me. Thank you.

Glen Nicholas consulted me from the first steps of my immigration process. He immediately provided a list of papers I have to file to the USCIS service so, I didn't have to wait even an extra minute to start working on my process. He professionally reviewed my case of four application forms with the support evidence in an hour and correctly pointed my mistakes and weaknesses. My applications were adopted by USCIS from the first time. All suggestions of my lawyer about my emotional condition and expectations made me feel extremly strong and vectored.

First of all i should say that Glen is more than an Attorney before he take my case I had lots of problems mostly because of overwhelming of immigration and my old case was suspended it was a dramatic one. Glen was always there for me, i could call him anytime even in holidays, he is more like a friend than an attorney and after past five years he is one of my close friends, he won't let you alone and is with you through every step and even afterward, he is caring and lovely and he does everything he can beyond what he should do. i also have to mention Glen's Assistant "Ana", she is helpful, caring as much as Glen. i never imagined that they become a part of my family and i hope one day i can return all the favors they did for me.

Glen was an excellent lawyer since from our first meeting together. He was very professional in his job and did an amazing work on my husbands case I-601. I would definitely recommend Glen to friends and family.
