About Susan
Susan Han trained first as a student of the liberal arts and then in the law. She earned a B.A. from Johns Hopkins University and later took her law degree at the University of Illinois - Chicago John Marshall Law School. Those years shaped a practical approach to casework and a preference for clear, direct legal writing.
Her career settled into immigration law. She opened The Law Office of Susan Han and has led it since. The practice handles individual immigration matters and advises clients on procedural and substantive questions. Han’s work involves visa applications, family petitions, and relief proceedings. She is also involved in advising clients on status adjustments and removal defense where needed.
Han is admitted to practice in Maryland and the District of Columbia. She maintains memberships in the District of Columbia Bar, the Maryland State Bar, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Those memberships keep her connected to regional developments in immigration policy and procedural rules. They also provide a network for referrals and practice updates.
Colleagues describe Han as methodical in intake and thorough in preparation. She tends to break complex immigration regulations into step-by-step explanations so clients can understand what to expect. Court preparation and client interviews are central parts of her routine. That practical orientation shows in how she manages deadlines and communicates case status to those she represents.
Her files often reflect a mix of family-based petitions, naturalization applications, and noncitizen defense work. She appears regularly before immigration agencies and represents clients in administrative hearings when litigation is required. Her office handles matters that range from straightforward petitions to more contested proceedings, following procedural rules carefully and documenting eligibility thoroughly.
Outside of hearings and filings, Han stays engaged with continuing education opportunities related to immigration law. She participates in association events and attends regional seminars when schedules permit. The result is a practice informed by recent administrative changes and court decisions.
Han currently practices immigration law through The Law Office of Susan Han. Her current practice concentrates on handling immigration petitions, adjustment of status matters, and representation in removal-related proceedings.
