Ralf D. Wiedemann
About Ralf
Biography
Practicing immigration law is a very personal profession for me. My parents both immigrated from Germany in the 1960s, so my sister and I are first-generation Americans. My wife was born in Russia, and has since become a naturalized U.S. citizen. Our two children are growing up in a multicultural Russian-German-American household, and I believe that they benefit from it. Having such real-life connections with the immigration experience allows me to understand my clients' concerns and perspectives to a personal degree. My many years of experience with all kinds of employment-based and family-based immigration matters have provided me with a great deal of knowledge and comfort in representing my clients to an exceptionally high standard.

H1B Visa and Green Card
My employer hired Ralf to assist me on renewing my H1B visa first, and later on applying and filing all the required paperwork for my Green Card approval. I have to say that neither me nor the immigration lawyer can control timing, but the process went very well in my case. Ralf is objective and ve...
