Best Immigration Lawyer
I was referred to Radu by my colleague when everyone rejected my EB1 case. Radu gave me assurance that I had 7/10 chance, and I should definitely pursue this. I went ahead and followed the tips for reference letters, improving CV, personal statement etc. Those turned-out to be game changer and my EB1 got approved without RFE. His experience in the field is truly worth appreciating. Radu is always quick to respond to emails even on weekends. I had truly a great experience working with Radu and would recommend him as a reliable, efficient and wise lawyer. His team is equally good as well. I would rate him number 1 immigration lawyer.

Hard work pays off! Superior!
Radu just works, all of the time. You don't have to worry about your case because he is worried to get you approved more than you do. it is hard to find an attorney like him, humble and absolutely gives his best, and it was a "no-brainer" to hire him. I would say "stop the search", just start the process. Thank you, Radu!

Radu is an amazing attorney. I have worked with other attorneys for EB1 but Radu is the best. He is efficient, fast and responds to you right away. He is very involved in your case and makes the best if it. I’m so happy Radu was my attorney. We finished our EB1 application in 3 months time total which is very fast. He was very supportive through the process and he understands the needs of his client and individualizes the plan. I will recommend Radu as an attorney with full support. I’m glad I found Radu to help me with the process. His expertise is best in the field and I have many friends who are already lining up to have him as his attorney.

If u are looking for an EB1 immigration attorney, please talk to and retain Radu. Not only will he make a great case for you but his communication/responsiveness will leave u impressed. Most of the times he will reply within minutes and will have multiple such email communications with you throughout the day. He will make the best possible case for you and give you best possible advice. He knew about my case in and out every time I spoke with him. Would recommend him for your immigration needs 100 percent

Excellent
I am so glad I got connected to Mr. Vasilescu for my EB-1. He is undoubtedly very knowledgeable, sincere, and compassionate. Since the beginning of the process, he has been accommodating and approachable. Because of his expertise and support, I didn't have to do much from my side on this tedious process. I can not thank Mr. Vasilescu enough in words, and I want to say you are awesome!

An expert lawyer in matters of skilled immigration
Honest, trustworthy and supremely knowledgeable in the US skilled immigration laws, Radu should be your go-to lawyer - PERIOD! My family and I filed our EB-1A applications with Radu and he was there every step of the way to guide us (via emails, texts as well as via frequent zoom calls), providing us with expert advice that honestly I haven't been able to find elsewhere including with my work lawyers. Radu is very hardworking and understands the strengths and weaknesses of each case and worked hand-in-hand with us to ensure we were putting our best foot forward, all the way from how/when to file the applications to how to promote ourselves with supporting letters, how to write the personal statements, prepare a compelling argument, etc. Radu is very well versed in immigration laws, but moreso, he constantly keeps himself abreast of new regulations coming out. He was able to advise me appropriately on when to file the EB-1A (and as another option, the NIW and how to proceed given that the NIW application is going through a phased process of being filed in premium processing should it come to that). I already have my EB-1A approval thanks to Radu and am waiting for my AOS to go through. You will not be disappointed having Radu as your lawyer.

Best immigration lawyer!
If you are looking for a no-nonsense lawyer who is thoroughly professional and well-versed in U.S. immigration laws, then Mr. Radu Cristian Vasilescu is your man. We worked with him to file our EB1A applications, and Radu guided us through each and every step. One thing that stood out to us was Radu's professionalism. He responds to queries immediately and schedules meetings from time to time so that you are equally involved in the process. Even when we had other immigration-related questions related to traveling outside the country on visas or EAD cards, Radu never hesitated to answer our queries. There are no hidden fees and charges. There are no false promises. Radu respects your timeline and moves accordingly. We can't recommend him enough and feel grateful to have found him.

EB1A
Radu is extremely professional, diligent and an honest attorney. I was stuck with Jeffries law firm (NY) for 2 years and finally fired them for incompetence (still waiting for refund). I approached Radu in August, 2022. Within few weeks, my letters were ready and we filed in October. I got my EB1A approved within 1 week. Highly recommend him for EB1A filing. He is very knowledgeable about this process, will guide you honestly and keeps a close loop of communication. I can't thank my luck, that our paths crossed.

The man knows his job
I recently got approval for my EB1, this after another reputable attorney had her doubts that she didnot even consider my filing. I was given vague advices about my case and lost 3 months time and few hundred dollars for nothing. Enters this guy, we have a video chat and he is fully prepared and tells me the pros and cons of my case, also comes up with a plan to move forward. Honestly i was taken aback a little when he came across so confident in handling my case due to my previous bad experience, as another reviewer has mentioned that he is thorough professional who will guide you correctly. i was highly impressed by his individual approach to the case and his knowledge about how to project my work in my field, he was well versed with terminology in my field which is unusual to say the least. He provided me with valuable feedback for my case and helped with drafting my application and other stuff very swiftly, he delivered always what he promised on time, i can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs honest and clear advice for their immigration case

Great experience with our Green Card application process
Radu was honest and detail oriented. He walked us through the process and was very patient with us. He was able to use his experience provide advice on how to structure our recommendation letters and what will drive the most impact. Both my husband and I would highly recommend his services.

Best Immigration Lawyer ever
Radu is the best immigration lawyer I have worked with. I used his services after terrible experiences with other lawyers and Radu brought a whole new level of professionalism. He is super responsive. He also explains all the complex immigration laws in a language you can understand and works with you all the way. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to have a smooth immigration experience.

Problem Solver
I had a outlier case where almost all the lawyers kinda gave up on me , although I had contacted 100s of lawyers around the country. I cant express how much his consultation helped me give me hope where all other lawyers had given up on my case. Never asked for any money and helped me get through very difficult part of my life, folks like these need to appreciated. Radu I hope karma gives you back what you have given me. ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND YOUR FIRM. GOD BLESS

Great lawyer, extremely intelligent, knows his stuff
Radu helped me and my family navigate through the immigration process seamlessly. I can’t go through the details but he was thorough, personable and guided us through the whole application, starting from an O visa application all the way to obtaining our green cards. We truly could not have asked for a better immigration attorney. He truly knows all the details, and would advise you honestly on what to expect and when to expect things to happen. It was like clock work, everything came to pass just as he said it would. He is indeed extremely talented in what he does.

EB1 A approved with Attorney Radu's guidance
Radu is excellent. I spoke to many attorneys regarding EB1A, but after our initial appointment with him, my wife and I, who is also a physician, felt he was the one to go forward with. We are glad we chose him. It is one of the best decisions we have made. He guided us through the process well and made it very simple from the beginning. Once he takes up your case, he is committed to your success. He is prompt in getting back to you if you have any questions. I never felt lost through the whole process. Most of my colleagues who chose other attorneys said that the entire process takes anywhere between 6-8 months, but Radu finished filling in three months after I hired him. What seemed like a complicated thing to achieve otherwise, with attorney Radu’s guidance, it became straightforward. Thank you for taking my case and helping my family and me with our EB1A case. I will be in Indebt for him forever.

EB1 approved
Attorney Vasilescu is EXCELLENT. In fact I switched my services when he started his independent firm. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic,when I moved to a different fellowship past my 6-yr H1B limit,his invaluable advice helped me maintain my status and alleviated the associated anxiety.He is thorough,gives realistic expectations and very much reachable. I give my STRONGEST recommendation for attorney Vasilescu, to anyone who is looking to hire THE immigration attorney who will deliver.

EXCELLENT, EFFECTIVE and VERY PROFESSIONAL
Please do not hesitate to hire Radu. He is the best attorney I've ever worked with. He was initially hired by my employer when he was working at Jeffries and Corigliano. However, after he moved out to open his own firm I kept working with one of the top people at J&C, and I immediately realized how good and effective Radu was... So I ended up switching and decided to hire him again on my own.. He is highly effective.. everything was super easy to navigate with his guidance and everything was approved.. he is fast and extremely reachable (forget about waiting on several days for that J&C email response)... and he is extremely knowledgeable.. I've been recommending him to my friends and if I ever need an attorney, I won't hesitate to call him back..

(R)adu- The (R)ockstar”
I am not a hardcore researcher. I am a clinician. My consultation with Radu was after talking with a handful of immigration attorneys already. Every one of them seemed to try and mould my case into the EB-1A criteria and were never completely convinced to take on my case as is. All of them wanted me to do more research, publish more etc etc. On the contrary, Radu found my strengths and fit them into the criteria for an EB-1A petition. His dedication, commitment, professionalism, promptness in communication, are unparalleled. This was despite the fact that there were days that he was not feeling the best health wise. I felt as if my case was as important to him as it was to me. I have never encountered this quality in an immigration attorney before. The time period between me officially hiring him and my petition being filed was 2 months. Again, this was in my opinion, lightening fast . Not once was the quality of his work compromised however. Every step of the way, he guided, counselled and reassured me to continue to believe that my application had what it takes and also convinced me to file under premium processing. After the approval of my petition his continued robust momentum helped me file for adjustment of status as soon as one possibly could. What seemed like a distant dream 6 months ago, is a reality today. All thanks to Radu Vasilescu. Thank you for taking on my case and for helping me achieve this accomplishment. Forever grateful.

Radu:Responsible, Diligent, Awesome and Understanding
I am a physician Neonatologist and had very little knowledge about immigration law. Radu guided me through the process very well and extremely helpful to our family over the last 8 years. I have been working with Radu since 2014. He had successfully filed my O1 visa in 2014. Later EB2 and finally EB1. I got my permanent resident card through EB1 last November within in a span of six months. He guided our family during difficult situations regarding immigration. We were so impressed with his work and correct guidance. He responds through email promptly, even calls you if needed. During the immigration journey with Radu, slowly you will forget that Radu is an immigration attorney, but will remember him as your family member, friend, well-wisher who knows everything about immigration and is there to help you and your family. Finally, I would without any hesitation, strongly recommend Radu Vasilescu and his firm.
