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 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.

I have been to Emily for advice and legal guidance on immigration for my spouse. Had an all round excellent experience. One of the best decisions to select her law firm for our immigration related matters.
Emily and Nikita handled our case very well. They essentially made my path easy. We were able complete all necessary requirements because they have their processes well laid out. They were always there when I had questions or concerns (and we had plenty, I promise you!) Undoubtedly, our application would've been extremely difficult if Sumner Immigration Law was not there for us. Thank you all, from both of us.

My husband and I selected Emily Sumner to represent for a marriage base green card in September 2017. i got married while was on the 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 an amazing service, very respectful & understanding! Her and her professional staff members handled our case and we were more than satisfied. Emily was commited to resolve 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 join interview in the USICS officer without any complications. The whole process and experience was 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

We applied for a family-based visa 1-130/1-485. The service given by Emily Sumner and her helper, 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!

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. 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!

I can’t thank Emily and Nikita enough for their dedication and hard work. I highly recommend Sumner Immigration Law.

Seven stars rating to Emily and Team! When you have them, be assured you have a rock solid team representing you who would treat your case as their own. I have met Emily and Nikita personally and was moved by the level of detail and effort they put into your case, with such a professionalism and knowledge and being so much approachable they are the best to go with.
I approached them regarding an I-130 application to bring my wife to the United States. My case was not a typical case because I had no income and no tax returns to sponsor my wife, neither did I had anyone to co sponsor. Emily and Team handled my case very meticulously, were always a step ahead on my case, and followed up even when I forgot. They got my case approved based on the qualification of assets I had in the United States. My wife is now in United States with me and we could never be much happier and thankful to Emily and Team.
Their representation fee is very reasonable, you get full value for your money. Sumner Immigration is a place that you can trust and depend upon for all your immigration needs. I highly recommend them and look forward to work with them again in future.

We highly recommend Emily Sumner and her team. She handled a crucial I-130 evidence response for us. The five star reviews don't lie. They were the reason I initially contacted her and I am happy to say that I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. All of my calls and emails were promptly answered, and I never felt for a second like I didn't know what was going on. For all that she does, the cost is not overly prohibitive. There is a fee for the consultation, but it goes towards your case if you retain her, and I can't imagine anyone not wanting her as their lawyer after meeting and talking with her. If you have a critical immigration issue relating to yourself or a loved one, do yourself a favor and call Sumner Law. Unlike so many others, she will not steal your money. The performance and the reviews speak for themselves. I will forever be grateful to Emily, Nikita and the rest of her team. Thank you guys.

I initially applied for a K-1 visa on my own. I figured I would save some money do the paperwork on my own. When I got an RFE in the mail I was afraid and unsure of what my next step would be. The people at Sumner Immigration were fantastic and helped in getting my fiancee's visa approved. They were there for me every step of the way and answered any questions I had. I only wished that I had used them from the beginning as it would have saved me a lot of stress.

Emily and her team are simply the best and they helped me to get my green card in no time at all.
Professional and diligent; she made what was a daunting task into something much, much easier and less stressful. I would recommend her to anybody in need of legal help regarding immigration. Her team and herself were always just a call or email away whenever we needed help or had queries and we never had to wait long to get an answer or an issue resolved.
It's safe to say that Emily and her team are the best choice if you want a hassle-free immigration experience.

I was recently referred to Emily Sumner and her team by a friend who had worked with her and approved for their NIW/I-485 application. After a brief phone consultation with Emily, I had an overwhelmingly positive impression of her and her strong belief that I would be successful in my NIW/I-485. Even though I spoke with also other highly respected lawyers, I decided to work with Emily because of the initial impression I had from speaking with her. Throughout my NIW/I-485 petition process, Emily and her team were always there providing the most support possible in a timely and effective manner. They provided much guidance and help with my NIW application package where most of the letters and documents related to my advanced training in the biological sciences. My NIW/I-485 application was approved . Overall working with Emily and her colleagues was an excellent experience.

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.

My family's experience with Sumner Immigration was phenomenal. Emily and her team were so helpful and attentive throughout the whole process. My cases were for my DACA renewal and for a family-based green card. With both cases they made sure we had all the required information, kept us up to date with any news regarding the cases, and answered any of our questions we might've had. They were in constant communication with us and made us feel like our case was a priority. I thank them for everything they have done and we have enjoyed working with her and her team and will continue to do so in the future.

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 with in 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 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.

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 seem too easy. The immediate feedback they provide when we had a question was the most appreciated. We highly recommend this firm!

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 on handling such cases. She helped us understand the process and guided us on 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 law is an attorney that we trust a great deal. We highly recommend Sumner Immigration law firm. THANK YOU Emily :)

Emily is one of the best lawyer in town. We filed for my wife I-485 based on marriage as I already have my GC. It took less than 3 months for the whole process...starting from sending our documents to USCIS till my wife got her GC. I panicked so many times during this process, but Emily was always there for us to calm us down and give us the positive vibes. One of the example when the interviewer didn't ask any question such as where you meet? how 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 it and make it our strength. I can't stress this enough, but if you are looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable and help you in your GC processing, she is the one.
