Green Card Preparation

My wife and I applied for a green card, and Ricky was very helpful throughout the entire process. He answered all the questions we emailed him very attentively and was very responsive. He made a stressful process easier to wade through. I would recommend Ricky to future potential clients intereste...d in applying for a green card.

You couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable and dedicated attorney!

We initally sought legal advice from Ricky based on numerous positive online reviews. My wife and I are happy to report that all the glowing reviews are spot on. Since the initial consultation with Ricky till now, just days away from returning to the US from Brazil with my wife's immigrant visa in ...hand, he has gone above and beyond in assisting us ever step of the way. I can not recommend him highly enough in assisting anyone with issues they may have concerning immigration law. He is very detailed in his explanation and very prompt to answer any questions that you may have.

READ THIS !!!! What you need to know before hiring an immigration attorney

Rick Palladino is a consummate professional, who truly cares about those that he represents. In 2016, finding an immigration attorney that not only provides results, but also addresses the anxiety and vulnerability that people experience with the USCIS. Ricky and his staff project confidence during... every step of the process, from an initial consultation to facing a USCIS Case Officer. The feeling one gets when calling USCIS and interacting with an automated system, or only getting partial answers to your questions will never occur once you are a client of Mr. Palladino. We felt that Ricky represented us as if we were his own family, and the same can be said of his staff. Whether it be a phone call, email, or simply stopping by the office, Rachel and the others that work with Ricky are always knowledgeable of you and your specific case, and someone can always be reached. When the day came to interview with the USCIS Case Officer, which could ultimately have resulted in the removal of my wife from the United States, I looked around the waiting area inside the USCIS building and saw over 100 people waiting to meet with a Case Officer, and while I saw family members and friends, I did not see a lawyer for anyone. Wait, I did see one attorney, it was Ricky Palladino, and he was their to represent us for our interview with the USCIS. Other families had hired attorneys for their specific cases, however they were simply called and told about the date and time to appear at USCIS, and given advice over the phone of what to expect and how to present themselves during questioning. I found the same information searching Google the night prior. Ricky was there in person to take control of the situation, and ensure the USCIS case officer was given the necessary paperwork and explanations to our specific situation, which prevented the case officer from being able to continue questioning, and a decision in our favor was immediately made. We had previously filed the same evidence and paperwork to USCIS 6 months prior in which they denied our action, and threatened removal from the United States. You have a choice to hire a lawyer or go through the USCIS and ICE process on your own. In either case, you will be paying the USCIS for every action and request that you submit. If you want an attorney that has not been desensitized to the stress people feel when facing immigration issues, then I recommend scheduling an appointment with Ricky Palladino. He brings the energy and confidence needed to alleviate you of dealing with undue stress, and that made the difference in how we dealt with our case. Knowing that someone with subject matter expertise and genuinely cared about the outcome of our case made all the difference. Couldn't think more highly of Ricky Palladino and his team!!!

Expired F-1 to Green Card

My husband and I found Ricky on Avvo. I met and talked with different lawyers who didn't not appear to be knowledgeable about my case. When I met Ricky, I instantly felt very comfortable, and had no doubt that he was the lawyer for me. Ricky is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about immigration law, is very p...rofessional, friendly, and will make you feel like you have known him for a long time. In less than four months, I have my Green Card! That is how awesome Ricky is! No hidden fees, very affordable, explains everything to you, and ALWAYS responds to inquiries immediately. Don't waste your money on any other lawyer, trust Ricky with all your immigration issues. I'll definitely be utilizing Ricky's services for the citizenship process.
