Million thanks Greg!

I would like to let you know that I had super complicated case. It had everything (drama, court cases, suspended license) you name it. When I was searching for lawyer, some of them were telling me that they can not take my case because they “do not want to risk their career”. We came to his office ho...peless and wondering. Me and my wife were desperate. He made us feel that he can handle it. I felt like he loves challenges. And this is what he exactly told me: “I think we have %50+1 chance to win and I will do my best to win”. And he did his best. Now I am waiting for my oath ceremony (after 7 years). He got my second green card and N-400. I would like to tell briefly about my last experience. He demanded twice to speak to officers supervisor. He stopped uscis officer questioning me. First officer started asking about my personal life and this is what Greg told him: “I think we are here for N-400, NOT I-751. If you will continue asking my client questions about his wife then I want to talk to your supervisor”. Officer said: “ yes I am going to ask more, if you don’t like then I’ll go to my supervisor”. Officer left the room with anger and came back after 6-7 minutes and this is what he said: “I am sorry I will not ask this kind of questions any more”. Then at the end officer said: “Unfortunately I can not make any decisions today, we will mail it to you”. Greg asked him: “why can you not make any decisions?” Officer: “because of court cases” Greg:” court cases are dismissed, so that means there is no court cases anymore. Please call your supervisor” He demanded second time. After 10 mins of briefing with supervisor officer came back and said “I apologize, we just grant your approval, we will fix our mistake”. I don’t know how to appreciate him. If Greg was not there with me, I would probably lost everything. Just follow his instructions and he will guide you to victory. I felt like he was as much worried as I am about my case. At the end I asked him if I can hug him and he said “of course”. He was just as happy I was. I will recommend him to everyone and I will make sure that he will be our family attorney for immigration matter. He was reasonably priced, always on time, replied all my emails. Me and my wife, we were really demanding and Greg was always answering. I honestly do not know how to appreciate him. Million thanks

many thanks to Greg and Livia

I worked with Greg’s Romanowsky team since January 2019. I had very complicated case. My wife was deported due to violation of immigration law (not intentionally). Our previous lawyer forgot to tell us that we need to obtain parole prior to travel overseas. When she came to US on B2 visa and mention...ed that we have applied for a green card she was deported, rather in a rude manner. I looked online, checked good references on Greg’s team and contacted them. Once I called him, I immediately realized that I am talking to the true professional (in contrary to my previous lawyer). He explained me situation, challenges associated with our deportation and quickly put together a plan for our case. He also proposed a few scenarios on how to accelerate our case. As a result, within four months, after intensive work on our case from Greg’s team, we got interview with immigration officer. To make sure that it would be successful Greg sent his associate, Livia, to accompany me during this interview. While I am comfortable with English (more than 10 years of managing position in a large pharmaceutical company), I was little nervous. Livia helped me a lot during this interview, our case was approved. Greg’s team also helped me to accelerate the movement of our case within the immigration system-the case at Russian embassy in Moscow was created withing two months. But then, the bureaucratic system kicked in and started working very slowly given a complexity of relationship between Russia and US and pandemic situation on a top of it. Greg’s team was very helpful of pushing our case, bugging embassy every month. As a result, we got our immigration visa approved and printed and we are very happy with our collaboration with Livia and Greg. One thing I would like to mention is that they are very knowledgeable, very comfortable to work with. It appeared to me that they are always one step ahead of the game and they are very respected by the immigration officials.

Most highly recommended!

My wife and I sought the services of the Romanovsky Law Offices for filing our green card applications (which we have now successfully completed and received our cards). Without a doubt, Romanovsky Law has our highest recommendation to anyone seeking legal help with their immigration-related issues. ... Knowledge and expertise: Greg and his team members are very knowledgeable not only of the immigration law but also of the working of USCIS and related local offices. Right from the start, they provided us with all the information and explained the entire process very clearly. Filling out the applications with their help was super easy. Communication and Responsiveness: Greg’s entire office is very responsive. We never had to wait for more than an hour or two to get a response regarding any of our emails/calls. Every question and query was always answered with a detailed answer in a very timely manner. Diligence and Value for money: We really felt that Greg’s team worked very diligently on our case. On top of all the help leading up to the final stage, Greg also personally accompanied us to our interview and provided very needed reassurance while we waited for the decision. We genuinely feel their services are totally worth the money and will seek their services again without hesitation.

Greatest Immigration Attorney

Finding myself in a very difficult situation with the immigration authorities, I did not see a way out of it at all. I turned to several lawyers for advice and help, but they were powerless. And when darkness covered the city hated by the procurator and it seemed to me that it would never dissipate, ...Gregory Romanovsky and his team took up my case. After a long struggle with the immigration authorities, my case was resolved and resolved positively. I would like to note the very high professionalism of Gregory and his team: - The highest knowledge of various subtleties in immigration law, which will allow you to find a way out of the most difficult situations; - Professional approach to "paper" work: error-free and timely filling of all documents, forms and other papers. Lightning response to any actions and messages from USCIS, which saves you any unnecessary delays and allows your process to proceed as quickly as possible. Separately, I would like to note Gregory's knowledge of his business: At the first consultation, he told me how everything would be going and how much it would cost. The amount that he named initially, looked through my case, remained so until the end. There were no hidden or additional payments or feed, which is important during present difficult times. Moreover, although no one could know the timing of the completion of my process (due to some of its peculiarities), the dates predicted by Gregory, including various intermediate stages, came true with almost one hundred percent accuracy, and this despite the chaos that the pandemic brought to the migration system. I also want to note that already at the time when my process was in full swing, from several people who did not know each other, I heard the most positive feedback about Gregory and his team, which, of course, gave me confidence. I highly recommend Gregory Romanovsky and his team to solve any of your migration problems or situations! Good luck! Оказавшись в очень сложной ситуации с иммиграционной службой, я совершенно не видел из нее выхода. Обращался за консультацией и помощью к нескольким юристам, но толку от них не было. И вот когда тьма накрыла ненавидимый прокуратором город и мне уже казалось, что она никогда не рассеется, Григорий Романовский и его команда взялись за мое дело. После длительной борьбы с иммиграционными органами мое дело разрешилось и разрешилось положительно. Хочется отметить очень высокий профессионализм Григория и его команды: - Высочайшее знание различных тонкостей в иммиграционном праве, которое позволит найти выход из самых сложных ситуаций; - Профессиональный подход к «бумажной» работе: безошибочное и своевременное заполнение всех документов, форм и прочих бумаг. Молниеносное реагирование на любые действия и сообщения со стороны USCIS, что избавляет вас от любых ненужных задержек и позволят вашему процессу протекать настолько быстро, насколько это возможно. Отдельно хочу отметить знание Григорием своего дела: На первой консультации он рассказал мне как все будет и сколько это будет стоить. Сумма, которую он назвал изначально, изучив мое дело, осталась таковой до конца. Никаких скрытых или дополнительных оплат не существовало, что является немаловажным фактором в наше непростое время. Более того, хотя никто не мог знать сроков завершения моего процесса (ввиду некоторых его особенностей), предсказанные Григорием сроки, включая различные промежуточные этапы, сбылись практически со стопроцентной точностью, и это невзирая на хаос, который в миграционную систему внесла пандемия. Еще хочу заметить, что уже в то время, когда мой процесс был в разгаре, от нескольких незнакомых друг с другом людей я слышал о Григории и его команде максимально положительные отзывы, что, безусловно, придавало мне уверенности. Максимально рекомендую Григория Романовского и его команду для решения любых ваших миграционных проблем или ситуаций! Удачи!
