I had a great experience with Glinsmann Immigration while filing for a change of status from F1-VISA to GC (family of 6). Thank you for your prompt calls and for reaching out with an option for a payment plan. Thank you for your swift responses to my unending questions. Appreciation to the entire team for making my document gathering and/or submission smooth and easy. I got my Green Card without an interview and without the need for EAD & Parole.

Matthew Glinsmann and team were adept at helping to navigate the very complex immigration pathway. They gave a realistic idea of costs and fee schedules, provided updates and guidance along the way and were great partners in the process. They were very proactive, even preparing in advance for an audit that might occur (which ended up materializing). That preemptive approach enabled a very seamless response instead of having to scramble to pull together additional documents and paperwork in a short period of time. Every person on the Glinsmann team that we dealt with (Matthew Glinsmann, Karla and Gabriella) was informed, professional and willing to assist and answer questions, all great qualities in a process that can be confusing and overly bureaucratic. They are truly specialists you can trust to do what you hire them to do.

We are extremely satisfied with the exceptional job done by Matthew Glinsmann and his paralegal Jimena. They offer an up-front flat fee and provide a very competent and generous service through it. They helped us to achieve our goal through an incredibly seamless process that was highly transparent/clear, well organized, and extremely supportive. Matthew is incredibly knowledgeable, competent, well organized, and capable. He always knew what to do, especially for the more complicated questions and potential pitfalls. We felt safe and secure every step of the way. Jimena helped us with our detailed questions and is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. She was so well organized that she remembered every detail of our case at any time. She was always responsive to our questions and quickly helped us answer whatever questions we were having. We highly recommend Glinsmann Immigration and would be happy to pursue any future case with them.

My husband and I could not be more grateful for all the work that Matthew and his team have done. They helped, advised and guided us at all times. We got our case approved in 8 months when we thought it would be 12 to 24 months. DR Glinsmann is very professional and honest. He always told us the truth and supported us in the case. Jimena, one of his assistants, was our support throughout the process, always answering our calls and emails on time and with great cordiality, dedication and kindness. I highly recommend this law firm.

We worked with attorney Matthew Glinsmann and Karla, Gabriella, Jimena and Sarah on a permanent resident (green card) application for a spouse. They were very professional, respectful, organized and responsive. Most importantly, they showed true care for our case and made sure we understood the requirements, the process and the various stages of the application. They always reached out to keep us informed of developments and timelines and to make sure we were on track with getting all the necessary documents. In addition, the team was always keen and ready to work with us on the many questions that came up during the process, which kept us calm and confident. The result was a timely approval of our application with minimum hassle and stress. Thank you!

Working with Mr. Glinsmann and his team was such a delightful experience. Immigration is complicated and the patience the team extended to me and my wife was amazing. We definitely felt like we knew exactly what we need to do and what the outcome will be. The team including Gabi, Karla, Jimena, and Sarah were all super responsive and were always ready to answer the questions we had. Throughout the entire process, they remained very detail-oriented with our case and helped us get through the entire process. We cannot recommend another better team that not only knows the stuff but actually cares about their clients and their well-being. To TeamMatthew - Thank you so much for everything.
