Matthew Glinsmann and his team supported my husband and me for obtaining my green card. They did an excellent job at all steps of the process. Instructions and communications were always very clear and timely. The support team (Gabriella and Jimena) were very nice to work with and very attentive to details. Matthew prepared us very well for the interview and it was great to have him with us on the day of the interview. We are very pleased with the quality and professionalism and Matthew and his team and would highly recommend them.

Matthew, Gabriella, and Karla held our hands throughout the entire process of my wife’s immigration. We never expected a pandemic, it was not part of our plans! Their professionalism, kindness, and reassurance helped us maintain a steady course. They were ALWAYS available to answer any questions or concerns that we had. Even with the extra hurdles of dealing with a country that doesn’t have a US Embassy (Cuba), their knowledge and experience secured my wife’s arrival along with her permanent residence status, i.e.: the infamous green card! Rest assured that Gabriella and Karla know their stuff, true professionals. We are so grateful to the entire team. Our only hope is that in the end, our friends will say (from both countries) …. “They lived happily ever after.” Our thanks to Glinsmann Immigration (TeamMatthew) for making our dream come true. Maggie & Norm

I have been a client of Glinsmann Immigration in Gaithersburg MD for the last five years. They helped me file for my green card in 2016. Recently, I completed my oath ceremony, becoming a US citizen. I worked with Matthew Glinsmann, Karla Alonso, Jimena Alfaro, Gabriella Harrison, Sarah. All of them are highly professional, competent, and great at their jobs! We were informed in writing about the fee structure. They made sure that every line of every immigration form was addressed. All documentation was very thoroughly prepared. In 2020, they switched seamlessly to Zoom. My interviews were straightforward, because the Team had all the required documents, records, and case history ready, and had prepared us for what to expect. Our interactions were very friendly and positive. They always answered when we called and always remembered our case details even over a period of years. This was very reassuring. I would whole-heartedly recommend with Glinsmann Immigration!

Mr. Glinsmann is very knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy. I found his Team Matthew efficient and quick to respond to my emails. I appreciated Mr. Glinsmann taking the time to prepare me for my naturalization interview at USCIS. He called shortly thereafter asking, "How did it go?" Thanks to Mr. Glinsmann, successfully!

Team Matthew is the best! We sought legal counsel from 2 other attorneys prior to finding Glinsmann and Glinsmann. I paid over $1,100 just to be told that they could not help us or we did not have a strong case. Matthew meet with us and took on the case. I did what Matthew asked and in a matter of a few months, I had a work authorization, travel parole, and immigration hearing. The hearing went very well and I am approved for my Green Card.
