The worst experience

I hired Greg Romanovsky back in 2016 and followed his recommendation, however, my family got deny during the interview overseas. He blamed trump administration the reason we got deny but as he represents himself the best lawyer I think he should learn each case and know the current immigration situat...ion before an interview, not finding excuse because he didn't know about this situation. Wasted lots of money and time because his mistake my family has been waiting over 4 years and still not here. He is way too expensive and his coworker Angela Linhartdt who filled out the documents is unprofessional and inexperience person. I had to make more research before hired him. Never recommend anyone and look for elsewhere there are many great lawyers who does for less and better job.

Dear Anvar, I regret that we were not able to bring your case to completion. As you and I discussed many times, the many changes implemented by the Trump administration did make the immigration process extremely difficult for a lot of people. Despite all of the changes, we continue to be successful in most cases (and this is what sets up apart from the competition), although sometimes we have to sue the government to make them follow the law. As you know, your family fell victim to the new policy related to the public charge requirement (restricting immigration for those who cannot show that they have enough financial support not to become a burden on the U.S. taxpayers). This policy change that had taken place right before your wife's visa interview was extremely unfortunate and unfair to you and your wife. We felt bad for you and continued to assist you well beyond the scope of what you had originally paid for. Since the embassy was still refusing to follow the law, the next logical step was to sue them in federal court. A federal court case of this nature requires a major effort (and special expertise that few immigration lawyers possess), so we could not do it for free for you. You did not want to go through the additional expense, and we understand that. I hope that the new administration will be able to quickly undo all of the harmful policy changes implemented by the previous one, and that your family will be able to join you in the United States very soon!
