Young took over our case after our existing lawyer gave us wrong advice. She is very meticulous, incredibly hard-working and was very dedicated towards our case. She helped us navigate the many challenges of the immigration system and did research on laws that could be applied to our case. We got our green card within two months of filing. Thank you so much Young, Pamela and Amanda for being some of the greatest professional lawyers we have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Young, Pamela and Amanda are awesome. They helped my wife and I navigate through my green card application process from start to finish. They are reliable, diligent and highly responsive. You won’t find a better team of immigration experts.

I cannot stress enough how amazing Young and her team have been through our process. Her presence is so calming and she was constantly our rock whenever we had any questions or concerns. Young was very responsive, always reassuring us whenever we needed anything and so knowledgeable on absolutely any legal question we had. We will definitely be recommending Young all our family and friends!

Our family will be forever grateful for all the help Young has provided. My husband's case took two decades and three attorneys "who tried" to help but kept getting disappointed (denials after denials) to a point where we became hopeless. Young has delivered way beyond our expectations - she's very genuine, experienced, detailed, responsive, and we know in our hearts that she gave her BEST in our case. We are still in shock and in tears (of joy now) that my husband finally got approval for his green card.

Young will go above and beyond in whatever you hire her for. My wife and I needed help with immigration including green card, extension, and ultimately citizenship. We hired Young on every occasion and she always gave 100% and made herself available at literally all hours of the day. We went into every interview very well prepared (dare I say over prepared) and the entire process from initial meeting to citizenship interview has been painless. We could tell that Young has a real interest in helping people and she is in it for the right reasons. Working with Young and her team was a great experience and I really can’t say enough good things about her.

My husband and I hired Young Ah Ri and her team to help with our marriage based green card application. Young and her team were very thorough and responded quickly to all emails and calls, normally within a couple hours. They submitted our paperwork as soon as it was completed. We completed our process in just over 6 months. They were personal and supportive throughout the time that we worked with them. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer!

We retained Young Ah Ri's services for a Permanent Resident (Green Card) adjustment of status. We achieved adjustment of status after only 6 months and that is during the COVID-19 pandemic!!! Immigration policy is frequently changing and we are so glad that we had Young and her team supporting and advocating for us throughout the entire process. While we have never met in person since we live out of state, Young's team was extremely professional, honest, and punctual with all communication within 24 hours. Her relationships with clients are excellent and she never hesitated to answer a question regarding our case. Her recommendations and connections (Ex: medical visit, translators, etc) were exquisite. We both felt very comfortable and at ease during our application process because we knew we were in good hands with Young's representation. Her price is fair, no hidden fees. We do not hesitate in endorsing Young's services and recommend you contract her office for your immigration needs.

I retained Young twice for my green card case, and she exceeded my expectations in every way! Young and her team is professional, knowledgeable, hard-working, effective, and excellent. Not only because Young is excellent at being an immigration lawyer, but also because she cares for you as a person. The support and love I received for my case is beyond everything and I would highly recommend her. Young is a lawyer who will fight for your case. I got my green card delivered after one week of responding to USCIS'S RFE, thanks to Young's dedicated hard work in my case. My case was quite complicated, she helped me amend my jointly petition to a divorce waiver basis and the process was smooth and pain-free. She got good connections as well. (The divorce lawyer she recommend is amazing as well). Her charge is very fair and it definitely worth it! I am so glad I have her in my immigration journey. Thank you, Young! You are the best of the best!

We have worked with Young twice, for 2 immigration cases, and every time her and her team have always go above and beyond. Her professionalism made us rest assure that we were taken care of and she got our backs. We have also built a personal relationship that has made us feel at ease while dealing with the USCIS. Young was with me at my interview, and made sure our case was ironclad and well-researched. We highly recommend her practice, as we are grateful with your hard work!

Young Ri exceeded all expectations. I can genuinely say that my stress level was completely under control because of the support and services her firm provided me. I had very specific questions regarding my Citizenship process that Young answered with clear guidelines. I just took my Citizenship Oath this week and I know Young and her team made it happen for me. Thank you !!
