Trusted EB1A Attorney — Clear & Ethical

I worked with Radu Cristian Vasilescu for my EB1A (Extraordinary Ability) immigration process, and I had an excellent experience. EB1A can feel overwhelming because the standards are high, the documentation has to be strong, and there’s a lot of anxiety around whether you’re doing everything “right.”... What made working with Radu different is that he kept the entire process grounded, clear, and ethical—which is exactly what you want for a case like this. The first thing I appreciated was his honesty. Radu gives no false promises. From the beginning, he explained the EB1A process in a realistic way and set clear expectations about what USCIS looks for. He didn’t try to impress me with guarantees or exaggerated confidence. Instead, he focused on what was practical, defensible, and based on real evidence. That transparency built trust and helped reduce a lot of stress. Another huge difference is that he will never try to sell you anything. There was no pressure, no “packages,” no upselling, and no feeling like I was being pushed to spend more money. He respected my time and budget and stayed focused on what actually strengthens the petition. Most importantly, Radu has strong integrity. He won’t suggest anything unnecessary, expensive, or unethical—even if it’s something other people might try to push just to make a case look better on paper. In the EB1A world, you sometimes hear about questionable shortcuts or paid add-ons that don’t feel authentic or could create risk later. Radu’s approach is the opposite: he guides you in an organic, honest way, based on your real accomplishments and what can be properly supported. His communication style is also great—calm, clear, and patient. He explains things in a way that’s easy to understand, answers questions thoughtfully, and helps you prioritize without turning the process into chaos. I always felt like he was protecting my interests and helping me make smart decisions, not just trying to “get a filing done.” If you’re looking for an immigration attorney for EB1A who is transparent, ethical, and genuinely focused on doing things the right way, I highly recommend Radu Cristian Vasilescu. No false promises, no upsell, no unethical shortcuts—just solid guidance and integrity throughout.

An Attorney of Extraordinary Ability (Incredible EB-1A Support)

I worked with Radu Vasilscu and Vasilscu Law on my EB-1A petition after consulting with eight different law firms. Choosing Radu was, without exaggeration, one of the best decisions of my life. From the very first conversation, Radu was encouraging, thoughtful, and confident about my EB-1A chances.... What set him apart immediately was his ability to rapidly and accurately understand my niche, highly specialized professional field. Unlike most attorneys I spoke with, who relied on cookie cutter mental models or surface-level assessments, Radu grasped the complexity of my work almost instantly and translated it into a clear, high-level strategy. His work pace was lightning fast, yet never at the expense of quality. Every draft, every argument, and every piece of evidence was handled with precision and care. The final petition was not only successful—it was something I am genuinely proud of and will be for the rest of my life. Equally important was Radu’s demeanor throughout the process. Immigration is stressful, and I asked many anxious follow-up questions along the way. Radu was consistently patient, objective, and fact-based in his responses. He provided clear assessments of risk, realistic estimates of approval chances, and honest guidance on strategy and processing timelines. That clarity allowed me to make informed decisions at every step. Radu didn’t just help me file a petition—he made a long-held dream come true at express speed, with professionalism and integrity throughout. Hiring him was one of the best professional decisions I have ever made, and I am truly grateful I had the chance to work with an attorney of this caliber. I recommend Radu Vasilescu and his team without reservation to anyone considering an EB-1A or NIW petition, especially those with non-traditional, complex, or highly specialized careers.

EB1A

I have consulted over two dozen immigration attorneys for various purposes, but I have never encountered someone as honest, diligent, and client-focused as Radu. I reached out to him for assistance with my EB1A RFE, and his guidance was exceptional. He provided prompt, precise, and effective solution...s that ultimately contributed to my success. In an unexpected turn, USCIS canceled my RFE and approved my case. True to his character, Radu returned all his fees and continued to offer his services pro bono. This level of integrity is rare in the world of immigration law, where many attorneys prioritize their fees over the success of their clients. Radu stands out as a true professional who genuinely cares about achieving the best outcomes for those he represents. I wholeheartedly recommend Radu for EB1A and other EB visa types. His expertise and ethical approach are unparalleled.

BEST immigration lawyer - Period!

Radu is a star! Hire him if you really care about your case! Over the years, I’ve had to use multiple immigration lawyers. For EB1 specifically, I have worked with some of the most elite immigration law firms as well as individual lawyers with their own practice but Radu, BY FAR, is the BEST la...wyer I’ve ever worked with. I had got an RFE when I came to Radu upon recommendation of a friend whose EB1 case Radu got approved. Radu took the time to understand my case fully and helped develop a plan to tackle the RFE. Not only that, Radu stands out for his professionalism -- he is very responsive and communicated really clearly. He is faster on turnaround than any other lawyer -- I only had a few days left for my RFE, but Radu worked day and night to get the response in, and we got approved! 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; no no false promises. Radu respects your timeline and moves fast. We can't recommend him enough and feel grateful to have found him! Thank you Radu! Forever grateful!

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 EB...1 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.
