I was trying to choose between Andrey Romanenko and Svetlana Kaff, but I'm glad I chose him. I got approved. He prepared thoroughly. Thank you so much. The best lawyer ever. read more

I didn't know any lawyers personally. I found Andrei through Yelp reviews, and I'm really glad I did. Thanks to his guidance and professionalism, I won my immigration case. What I appreciated the most was how professionally and carefully he handled every part of the process. In addition to my main case, I also asked for help with other documents and everything was always done on the highest level. Clear, efficient, and right on time. Andrei was always calm, supportive, and clear in communication. And I also want to say a big thank you to his amazing team the assistants and everyone working with him. The ladies who helped with documents and communication were incredibly kind and attentive. Thank you so, so much to Andrei and everyone at the office. You made a very stressful time feel manageable, and I'm deeply grateful. If you're looking for real support with your immigration case this is the team you can trust. read more

Andrei Romamnenko Law Office heleped me with 2 cases. Political Asalym & Marriage. It wasn't an easy situation, but they handeled it pretty well. After 5 years of waiting I finally was able to get master hearing and court dates. Andrei went with me to the both meetings. His team supported me via phone trouch the process of applications & preparations. They are very organised and proffecional. I'm very happy with outcome. Thank you very much! Highly recommend read more

I hired this lawyer for immigration court. After termination, he sent me an estimate stating that he did $8325 worth of work. There were no translations, no calendar events, and no individual hearings. Romanenko, without my consent, combined two contracts into one estimate to avoid returning money to the client. He is sending me to arbitration. Romanenko's quote: "For your removal case, not only the country conditions were prepared, but also written statements and motions were made." This for $7325! ($1000 is a separate contract for filing I-589). He does not comply with the terms of the contract, and without notifying the client, he deducts money. The contract states that the preparation of I-589 costs $1000, but in reality, it was more than $2000, and he did not inform me about this. In 2022, he prepared country conditions for a country at war (articles from the internet). The relevance of these articles after several years is questionable. In the estimate for the immigration case, there is a charge for processing letters regarding the WORK and SSN (these were paid separately). To date, of the $11,000 paid, nothing has been refunded. For a review on Google, he accused me of defamation and threatened to sue me for defamation. read more

I would like to express my gratitude to attorney Andrey Romanenko and his wonderful team for the successful preparation and final defense of our case in the immigration court in December 2024! I would like to highlight the following aspects of the work: 1/ Quick start of the work. When choosing an attorney, we considered many factors, evaluations, and recommendations. We contacted several attorneys. Andrey Romanenko's feedback was prompt, and during the initial consultation, we discussed the case, Andrey gave an assessment, and outlined the stages of the work in detail. 2/ Availability for questions, consultations, meetings, etc. Our phone calls were always answered, and we could immediately receive responses and feedback to our inquiries. I should note that many issues are resolved not directly with Andrey, but through his assistants. I emphasize this just in case, as some people might prefer discussing everything directly with the attorney. We found the format of working with the team very convenient; we could contact them anytime with even the simplest but unclear questions. More complex issues were always resolved directly with Andrey. 3/ Clear deadlines. These were established from the outset. When and what needed to be gathered for the case, the work stages, readiness, meetings - everything was planned in advance, and everyone followed this plan without delays. 4/ The demanding nature of Andrey Romanenko in preparing the applicant for the hearing. Andrey has high standards when it comes to preparation, knowledge of the entire case material, and the format of responses in court. This is important, and in this case, Andrey checks thoroughly like a strict teacher, which is correct. 5/ The decision to expedite the case review in court. After evaluating our case, Andrey almost immediately suggested going for an expedited process, and thanks to that, our court session was held 1-2 years earlier. As I found out in conversations with my acquaintances who are waiting for their court hearings, many attorneys are unaware of such an option. Many thanks to Andrey for this - we are very happy with the result! read more

Thank you to Andrei and his team for helping me adjust my status & get the E18 Green Card. It wasn't a quick process due to USCIS processing times, but he remained professional and helpful the whole time we worked together on my new visa. He walked me through every step and kept up with USCIS' laws and updates they've been releasing. He took care of all communication with the USCIS and made sure that everything we sent over was of highest quality possible. I would definitely recommend Andrei! He is very professional, well-informed, experienced and definitely knows what he's doing very well. read more

Update: got my green card in my hand. Thinking back, all the immigration advice I got was again me getting this card. What a waste of time. I took the chance, made some mistake in filing form-- which was fine-- paid $1300 for my chance on I-485. Still made it. Is it complicated? No. I bet all the lawyers, doctors and engineers had much more complicated case back in school. Just researching ability. +1 star for still getting the card, even tho all by myself, albeit with some helpful conversations (i.e. me trying to reject lawyer's argument and trying to do research myself to do that read more

We used Andrei to guide us through the process of getting my greencard, and we cannot say enough good things about him and his team. They are extremely professional and friendly, easily available outside of normal working hours, and hyper competent. Throughout the entire process, Andrei advised us of what options we had, what option he recommend and why, and what the next steps in the process would be without overloading us with information. We never felt like we were lost or confused or left wondering the current status of our application. Andrei went over each form in detail and made sure we understood what each question was asking and how our specific facts applied as he prepared them, and he did the same each time we needed to go to a USCIS office. We were never caught off-guard at any point, because he did such a phenomenal job preparing us. Andrei was always available over email to answer any questions or concerns or worries we had and he always answered quickly. I don't think we ever waited more than a day for a response from him. read more

Andrei and his firm helped my parents obtain their green cards, and the process was easy and fast. Andrei was a fantastic and calm, knowledgeable guide through the process. I am very grateful we found Andrei. Contact him without hesitation! read more

The best law officer I ever see, everything was perfect! Very professional team . Got my green card fast ! Highly recommended!!! read more

Thank you very much to Mr. Romanenko and his team. Highly recommended! Best Attorney! Real professional!

Andrei and his law firm helped me obtained my green card within 8 eight months even though my case was a little bit complicated. When I contacted him for the first time to figure out the best option on me, he helped me choose the most reliable way to move the process forward. During the preparation process of all the documents, he was quite professional and fast. The most importantly, whenever I have dozens of questions to ask, he explained every single question so professionally, patiently and clearly as always. I am very grateful and lucky having Andrei as my GC attorney and will recommend him around without hesitation. read more

We consulted with Andrei and his office to help us adjust my wife's status in the US. Right off the bat I was very impressed with how prepared he was and his staff. Right after the initial consult he sent us a list of items that we needed to proceed with our application that was very clear. His communication throughout the process regarding our questions was timely and accommodating. Our preparedness made our application and interview process very simple and straightforward. He sent in the application material for us to the USCIS. The officer who interviewed us had a few questions and had all the information they needed. With his help and a lucky break from the USCIS office we were able to get our application sent in and approved very quickly. Definitely recommend his services and would do business with him again. Thanks Andrei. read more

I want to say huge thanks to Andrei Romanenko and his Team for helping me with my case. Multiple people recommended me Andrei as the best immigration lawyer in the area and now I can also attest to that. Right after the initial consultation I got the strong feeling that Andrei is an expert and that I should not look any further. And throughout the whole process he and his Team were very professional and thoughtful. In the end, I feel like Andrei is as knowledgeable as one could be about the immigration law and I'm extremely satisfied with how he and his Team handled my case from start to finish. So I wholeheartedly recommend Andrei - immigration process is stressful and complicated and you should hire only the best. read more

Andrei is an amazing attorney. His team is very efficient and supportive. Great customer service and professionalism. They are always available to help quickly. Strongly recommend. read more

Andrei helped me and my husband with an adjustment of status that took 3 years from application to permanent residency. We had an initial in-person consultation that we paid for and was later applied towards the fees, once we asked him to formally represent us. As I soon moved to SoCal, all our meetings happened over Skype. He gave us cost effective options whenever possible and went above and beyond to help us once the USCIS interview was scheduled. Andrei is knowledgeable and thorough and has always been reachable and helpful in navigating a process that can take years, often involving changes to existing rules. He has a calm demeanor and is very patient and has answered every single question that we had. We highly recommend Andrei for anyone who needs immigration advice. read more

Andrei Romanenko and his team are the best. Very quick to reply with the exact answer. They will make sure you are up to date on everything if you missed something. Very professional and reliable. Working with him I definitely had a peace of mind that things are getting done on time. Will absolutely contact him for future needs. read more

Andrei and his team are running like a Swiss watch. From the beginning of the whole process, you can immediately feel that you can rely on them because: 1. They answer all your questions fast and straight to the point. 2. All communication with them is very efficient including document collection. 3. They do so many things to make it smooth for you. Such as document translation, photo printing, writing checks for you (after you of course transfer money online :) ), and so on... so that the only thing is left for you is to go to the interview if it's required in your case. 4. If you are having interview, Andrei and his team will make sure you have a training session before and know what to expect + you have their support during the interview. Overall, we are very happy we have chosen Andrei Romanenko. read more

Thank God for Andrei Romanenko! Just over one year ago I was probably where you are now; trying to find the best possible immigration lawyer I could. I had a somewhat complicated case, together with my husband's complicated case, and together we made a complicated couple filing together. It was reviews like this that helped me decide to reach out to Andrei - and I am SO GLAD I DID! He is an amazing lawyer! He is super smart, organized, calm, simplifies things, does not judge, and is very responsive. From the very first online meeting with him we felt we were in safe hands, and that feeling NEVER wavered. With his organized systems and great assistant, Irina, who was also helpful, responsive, clear, and very organized, we quickly had everything in order. Then we just needed to wait for our case to be called. The happy ending is that my husband and I received our green cards yesterday! After many years this was a tremendous feeling and relief. Our USCIS case went smoothly (we had an incredibly courteous and kind case officer too, which was such a lovely surprise!), and we had every single thing we needed on hand because of Andrei and Irina. I want to say to you that your search for an amazing immigration lawyer can end here. I cannot praise this man enough. He gets results, lowers anxiety, and cuts through complication. I don't normally write reviews, but this is a well-deserved exception. Thank you, Andrei and Irina. You are the best. read more

I worked with Andrei for my wife's green card through marriage. He was very knowledgeable, detailed, and helpful. He was patient in explaining the process, and was very quick and prompt at responding to our ad-hoc email questions. His assistants are also very organized and did not make any clerical errors. He also accompanied us during the interview via phone. Overall had a great experience working with Andrei. Highly recommend. read more

We regret not coming to Andrei right away for our immigration needs. We were ripped off by another lawyer so finding Andrei was such a relief. He is honest, he always kept the lines of communication open between us and always answered all of our questions in a prompt manner. Prior to finding Andrei, our immigration experience was stressful, but working with Andrei our experience became smooth sailing and his office looked after us well. Andrei's team was always on top of everything. We highly recommend Andrei and his team. Thanks Andrei! read more

Andrei Romanenko is one of the best immigration attorneys in San Francisco and the Bay Area. His team consists of only professionals with years of experience. When he took my case, I didn't believe in myself because of rejection from the officers. However, Andrei supported me and gave me hope that my case was not lost and we could still win this in court. I understood that he takes every case seriously because he and his team are incredibly responsible people. They never showed signs of losing heart and always helped prepare for the court. To be honest, the court proceeding is extremely hard and pressuring. Nevertheless, with Andrei, you will get used to it; he helps you prepare for what will be there and how you should feel about it. It is extremely easy to work with him, and he is always open to conversation and suggestions. My case was on hold for four years because of the court rescheduling, but somebody from Andrei's team was always available during this time. I want to say thanks to Andrei Romanenko again. Because of his professionalism, availability, understanding of the situation, ability to adapt, and excellent preparation, I could win this case. I recommend this attorney to everybody who wants their case to proceed successfully. read more

I would like to write this review for Andrei Romanenko. Andrei was my lawyer during the immigration process, two years ago I moved to San Francisco with my 8 year old son and got married. One of my friends had advised me the dIfferent lawyer , but after my first visit to Andrei's office I changed my mind and decided to go further with Andrei. His consultations were professional and realistic, he didn't give me false promises and did his job at the highest level. After I filled out all the forms for me and my child, the very next day Irina , who works for Andrei, e-mailed me the confirmation that all the documents had been sent. During all the process Irina was very helpful and informative. The whole process took us 15 months, because we were waiting for the interview to be scheduled. 2 weeks before the interview Andrei gave me the contact of the doctor who helped us with immigration medical exam at the very affordable price , twice cheaper than with some other doctors. The interview itself was easy going and successful. I had read so many terrible stories from some people, that's why I was pretty much nervous. Andrei was very confident and punctual , the interview was in San Jose , he came in the exact time. My husband, son and me brought the originals of the docs, as requested by Andrei. The officer at the interview was very positive, asked some questions from the application form about me and my son , asked my husband about the way we met each other and about his relations with my son. The interview took not more than 20 minutes, because all the docs were accurately collected. 5 days after the interview we received by mail our Green Cards. I would like to thank Andrei for his brilliant job and professionalism. I have already shared his contacts with my friends in Russia, who had also had their consultations with him via Skype. I am really happy that I had Andrei for my immigration process and I would definitely recommend him as one of the best lawyers in Bay Area. I am really glad, if my review will be useful for those who are still looking for professional help. read more

Andrei is a very professional immigration attorney that I would highly recommend for anyone who needs help dealing with USCIS. He and his team are professional, friendly, responsive, efficient, knows what they are doing very well, and even have a close relationship with the immigration officer who interviewed me. I am very impressed and would definitely hire him again in the future. read more

I approached Andrei Romanenko about my case and he explained everything to me very well. From the initial consultation to the very end, Attorney Andrei Romanenko and his amazing team were so thorough and answered all of my questions. If you are looking for an immigration lawyer to help with a green card application, please look no further. read more

Andrei was very helpful during our consultation, I really appreciated his attention to detail and thorough knowledge of the matter. Time flexibility and remote skype conversation was another positive point that accommodated me greatly. Follow through, advice and timely replies to all my questions that came up later on was yet another service that I highly appreciated. His competence and knowledge are impressive. I always appreciate professionalism in people im dealing with and it was very satisfying to work with Andrei. I definitely recommend his services. read more

Andrei was very helpful during my consultation. He answered all my questions.I had requested a last moment consultation, and he made it happen. Thank you. read more

I am picky about whom I engage for services, and tend to view most online reviews with a pinch of salt, after generally having found contradictions between the reviews and the service of most providers. There is usually some sort of hype/momentum/fluff that creates a gap between rhetoric and reality in those cases. Furthermore, it appears to me that most entities with high reviews tend to try and capitalize on that 'hype' by charging outlandish fees. So, I always proceed with caution. I have had none of those issues with Andrei. Professional excellence, patience, succinctness, tech savviness and friendliness are traits that I pay particular attention to, and Andrei has put me at ease in all those respects. I find him to be genuine and sincere and am looking forward to working with him. His other reviews are on the spot and I'd be happy to refer my friends to him without hesitation as well. read more

Andrei is just plain awesome! I hired Andrei to help me with my Mom's immigration case. He handled every step of the process efficiently and in timely fashion. He was always available for questions. Have you ever had a lawyer who answered your emails in minutes? He represented us at the USCIS and, needless to say, brought the case to a successful completion. read more

I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the experience with Andrei Romanenko and his firm. They work very hard to make sure you have things done with perfect/positive results. He makes my family united here in USA. Special thanks from my parents :) Will definitely recommend your service to my friends read more

Andrei Romanenko is the best lawyer in the world! He helped us with the case of almost 10 years! He was very calm, professional and knowledgeable, researched extra information on certain updates and changes in related laws! And at the same time, he was very kind and attentive, which is very important while working with people and dealing with their problems, fears and emotions! My family and I highly recommend Andrei Romanenko for any of your legal needs! His office is always very responsive and helpful in resolving all possible issues. Thank you very much again for everything, Mr. Romanenko! read more

Mr. Romanenko assisted both my son and I to successfully acquire our green cards. Our case was a little complex and he had answers to all of my queries . Why does he get a five star rating? 1. Extremely Knowledgable; 2. Very Professional; 3. Quick response time ( even after work hours - within the hour) ; 4. Well mannered; and 5 Expect zero excessive billing from him! He is very honest and fair If you are looking for an excellent Immigration lawyer, the buck stops here; You have found him. I highly recommend Andrei Romanenko . He offered high quality service that I was very impressed with. read more

Andrei was helping me with my case. He neatly prepared all documents needed. I was pretty nervous, but he calmed me by explaining me what should I expect. Andrei knows the value of time, which was very important to me. We had pretty tight timeline, so he was answering all my questions pretty quickly, even on weekends. Also he speaks many languages, so he checked the quality of translations my documents from Russia. I glad I've decided to work with Andrei. He is a polite, intelligent person and professional Attorney. Everything went smooth & easy. And outcome was positive. read more

Andrei Romanenko has a sharp legal mind and gives straight to the point, no BS advice. Mr. Romanenko is a certified specialist in immigration law, but, apart from immigration, he has unmatched experience in other areas of the law. Mr. Romanenko represented me in a civil case and won! I, and 3 other people, were sued by a vindictive person for what we said in court. Needless to say, being sued was horrible. I knew I needed a lawyer, and one I can trust to solve my problem and not rip me off. When I consulted Mr. Romanenko, he told me right on the spot what motion I needed to file to get the case against me thrown out. Mr. Romanenko filed the right motion from the start and the judge dismissed the lawsuit. This case ended in just 3 months. Not only Mr. Romanenko won my case, we are now going after the plaintiff for attorney fees. The judge already ordered the plaintiff to pay my legal fees. We still have a long way to go in getting the plaintiff to actually pay, but, my point is that Mr. Romanenko fought for me and won. Mr. Romanenko treated me with respect and integrity. Mr. Romanenko is not afraid to tackle anything. If you want a lawyer who knows his stuff, then hire Mr. Romanenko. He is sharp, knowledgeable, straight to the point, and he fights for what's right. He cares about his clients and does not treat them as just a paycheck. Mr. Romanenko took my calls and answered my emails after business hours and on weekends, and, didn't charge me a dime for talking to him. Mr. Romanenko cared about my cause and about restoring justice. I am a lawyer who practices family law and I know this business. There are real lawyers and there are "lawyers." I have yet to see a lawyer who is available to clients after 5 pm and on weekends. With lawyers, you get what you pay for, but, oftentimes, you don't. Hire a sole practitioner, like Mr. Romanenko, who has a wealth of experience and who doesn't nickel and dime his clients. When it comes to matters that can affect your life, go with the right professional. Go with Andrei Romanenko! read more

Andrei is very professional, reliable and a knowledgeable lawyer. I really enjoyed working with him. As a family lawyer myself having Andrei on my side allowed me to focus on my own clients fully because he handled my case so masterful. I got good service and results, and received my green card within a week which was 5 weeks faster than expected. I felt like I was the most important case to Andrei even with his busy case load. The whole process that seemed so complex was made as easy as possible for me. Thank you Andrei. read more

I'm so glad we went to Andrei for assistance with the green card application process. He is well-versed in immigration law and answered all our questions (many, might I add) and eased our concerns with the tons of paperwork and documents that needed to be submitted.

If you are looking for an immigration attorney who will be looking at your eyes, expressing compassion to you, telling that your case will win 100%, then it is not your attorney. However, if you are ready to have a serious preparation, with consideration of even smallest details, competent preparation of documents, then you need to have a business with Andrei Romanenko. He is a professional! Thanks to Andrei Romanenko we have won our court from the first hearing! read more
