Top notch immigration lawyer

After section 2 of DOMA was deemed unconstitutional, I hired Ricky to handle the green card petition for my spouse. Ricky and his team have been amazing. They are extremely knowledgeable, very reactive, and caring. Ricky also has the not-so-common ability to explain complex things in layman's terms, ...which is very helpful when you're not familiar with the process and its risks. Ricky was recommended to me by my brother, who had found that Ricky was very creative and found solutions that were not immediately obvious.

Professional

I have a conditional green card through marriage that ended up in divorce.Ricky help me file a waiver while my divorce is on process and was able to get an extension for 1 year until I get my final divorce degree. when it was time for my interview Ricky sat with me to review my case making sure I am ...ready.Ricky is very accessible and his staff are very helpful. he answered all my questions patiently and never once did he make me feel like my case wasnt important.With Rickys knowledge and expertise my petition to remove condition has been approved without my ex husband. Now the next step is to bring my kids over and I know for sure Ricky is the best lawyer to turn to.

An extremely competent, enthusiastic, detailed oriented, diligent, passionate, and knowledgeable immigration lawyer.

Mr Ricky Palladino is simply the best in class! Ricky is the lawyer you want working on your complicated immigration case. I hired Ricky 3 months ago for a case that had been pending for over two years. Not only did he recommend an approach that worked, he was diligent, detailed oriented, and consist...ently updated me on the progress. Ricky is very reachable, and unlike my previous lawyer who took days to get back to me, Ricky was very quick to respond to me whenever I had a question. Furthermore, he always kept me informed about the progress of my case. If you want a quick resolution to your case, no matter how complicated, and a lawyer who fights for you all the way through, Ricky is your man. I recommend him without any reservations.

Easy to work with, and guided us through the process with as little feedbac from us as possible

We used Ricky for a H1B visa in 2012. We knew nothing about the process and when asked by other business owners how we process our H1B's, my response is, call Ricky, he'll do everything for you. His rate was very fair and he set our expectation how the process would go. We've recommended Ricky ...to other friends and business owners.

F-1 to B-2 Expert Immigration Assistance

In summer of 2013 I was in dire need of changing my F-1 status to B-2. Initially, I was greatly concerned with the possibility of such change, because as of my understanding, B-2 visas are generally given to the people who are located outside the country, but Mr. Palladino convinced me that he was po...sitive of his ability to make a strong case for my case due to his expertise in the field. As the result, I have entrusted my condition to Mr. Palladino agency. Shortly after, I was provided with the short list of required paperwork such travel itinerary, letters from people I would stop by, and airplane ticket confirmation. Once the required documents were to send to Mr. Palladino, few days from that point, the petition was received by USCIS - I know that for a fact since I have received a copy of notice from USCIS. Normally, the process of changing status to the tourist visa takes 2 months, in my case it was 1 month and 11 days – I believe this happened because Mr. Palladino was able to make a strong case that did not raise any additional questions from the USCIS side. Might I need any immigration assistance in the future, I certainly will be enlisting in services of Mr. Palladino.
