Good day to all. Upon arrival in the United States through Mexico, I considered these documents to be the most important. As soon as I found housing and some work, I started looking for a lawyer. I asked friends, on the Internet (where I found Andrei Romanenko and his article on how to choose a lawyer), in telegram chats. I selected 5 lawyers for myself and appointed paid consultations with them (each cost from $150 to $200), prepared a list of questions in advance. The most clear conversation and precise instructions without any (everything will be fine, these are trifles) were from Andrey. I also read the reviews and decided to stick with it. As soon as we signed the contract, I immediately received tasks by mail with instructions, and they sent the necessary forms and notifications to all the necessary authorities. Over the course of our work, we spoke several times before the court hearing in preparation. All work was done via email and documents were uploaded to Google drive. At first, I did not like this format of work (since I was used to talking, and even more so, I paid money and there was no way to talk). Then I thought this: after all, all the necessary forms and papers are done on time, the lawyer has many clients, and if he talks to everyone, then his head will be constantly filled with questions from clients and their experiences. The stages are different for clients, for someone at this time of hearing, this is a very nervous event that requires a cool head, calmness and concentration. Therefore, he answers all questions by e-mail, within 2 working days. Our hearing was remote, and 20 minutes before the hearing, Andrey calls with the words: the trial was postponed, the assistant judge called and offered two dates, one in a year and a half, and the other in 10 days (but according to Andrey's time it was 7 am non-working time) , he said that he received 7 am. Later, I wrote to Andrey that I thanked him for accepting an inconvenient time for me. He replied that for him it was 2 hours of sleep, and for us to live another year and a half in the unknown. Once again, I was convinced of the decency of this person (after all, I could simply say that the hearing was postponed for a year and a half and I would never have known about another date). The judge was with a 71% rejection rate and had a prosecutorial background. The prosecutor was such as one can imagine a prosecutor. Preparations for the trial took place at the highest subtle psychological level. Loading and not overloading me at the same time. Thus Andrey brought me to the hearing in the right psychological state. At the beginning of the hearing, I understood how the prosecutor repeated several times the phrase that the case was made perfectly and he had no questions about the case. Which once again speaks of Andrey's professionalism. And so the judge made a decision that approves our asylum!!! Hooray!!! Victory!!! I want to say that Andriy behaved confidently and professionally in court. Andrey Romanenko in my eyes is a decent person and a professional at the highest level. I definitely recommend. My opinion is that these are life-changing cases for a person, and it is very important that you be represented by a responsible and professional person. read more

A week has passed since the end of the trial, in which I was acquitted on suspicion of attempting to deceive the state and a simultaneous hearing on family reunification, although it should have been one, but at the insistence of the prosecutor, a case on "asylum application" was raised. What can I say now that the passions have subsided in my soul? I had two experiences with two lawyers: the first one prepared me and documents for an interview with an asylum officer, the second of them was lawyer Andrey Romanenko, who explained and taught me to understand the essence of what was happening in the court session, to adequately perceive what was happening and, accordingly, to control my emotions and act according to a certain algorithm. The whole question is that when I arrived in the United States, I tried to tell what happened in eastern Ukraine, what I felt, what I feel, not understanding that I was asked about specific dates, specific actions, and specific consequences. Thanks to Andrey Romanenko, I realized that I must answer questions as if I were answering about someone else, that is, I must leave my emotions, my feelings behind the "threshold", answer specific questions and specifically specific things, not like I would I wanted to answer, but to clarify what exactly they ask and answer exactly this question. Unfortunately, earlier, when preparing for an interview with an immigration officer, I either did not hear this in the advice of the lawyer who took my "probona" ​​case, or he performed the minimum necessary actions that were required to ensure that there were no complaints from society lawyers, in which he is. (After a negative response from the immigration officer, who wrote "false testimony and attempted deception" in the reason for the refusal, he sent my case to court - the lawyer said that the case was 100% winning, we would win, but now without charity.) Therefore, I can say one thing: "I thank those people who helped me find and contact Andrey Romanenko, thank the Lord for the fact that Andrey works here and helps people, skillfully instructing the client on the implementation of legal" correctness "(and at a price several times below "probona lawyer") I ask a blessing for him, for the workers who work with him in his office and for his family. read more

Me (US) and my wife (Russia) decided to live in the US when the Ukraine Russia conflict broke out. This was a very stressful time trying to figure out how to go about the immigration process of a russian citizen to the US during these times. After much research into the subject and becoming overwhelmed by the amount of difficulty every russian has gone through with immigrating, and border closures to russians, we decided to look for a professional to help us. Andrei and his team not only made the immigration process incredibly easy for us and a seamless process, not once did he instill any doubt in us when presented with our worries about the many issues we will face (ie no open us consulate in russia, interview force scheduled by nvc to a country that is openly against allowing russians across the border). This team is professional, organized and subject matter experts in thier fields. When presented with an immigration case that I would argue is extremely difficult given the circumstances, they knocked it out of the park without batting an eyelash. This process took around 1.5 years from start to finish, majority of this time was due to IR1 visa wait times and the fact that my wife could not easily access needed resources such as US consulates within her home country. I want to add that my wife was so impressed with how organized and professionally detailed Andrei was when it came to preparing for her interview. She was confident throughout the interview in probably the most stressful point in the entire process. If you are looking for a legal team to assist you in immigrating to the united states, contact Andrei. I can happily say that my wife is legally sitting here in our home with me thanks to these men and women and I honestly feel like the price I paid for this service from beginning to end was extremely cheap for what we gained. I cannot be more grateful for what they have given me. (I will post to review to all that I can so people in need can find real professional help) read more

Andrei pushed and won for us very complicated and nasty case, which has been dragged for more than a decade. Half dozen of his colleagues did not even want to touch it. He is sharp, cold headed and emotionless. Basically everything you should expect from Berkeley Law School (2nd in US) graduate. If you need someone to wipe your tears, he is not a person to do that, but if you need a strong professional in your corner, who understand how the law works, you are in the right spot. Replying on all emails within 1-2 business days. He has a great and effective team in his office, which is, by the way, in the walking distance with immigration court. He knows judges and prosecutors and they know him, which is extremely important, because it shows me his past work experience. I strongly suggest you to read his article (on his website), very carefully, about "How to choose an immigration attorney?". Andrei is following precisely his own recommendations in that article. Me and my family are sincerely grateful to Andrei and his team for amazing job they done. I am very glad that I found him among other sweet talkers. I would highly recommend this office to anyone who is looking to resolve his or her immigration case. To be completely honest, I think his services cost at least twice more than he is asking, so don't miss a bargain deal. P.S. Keep in mind, that your lawyer is not your friend, mom or dad, so don't expect extra special attention from him. You are not his only one client with a problem, so respect his time and space. Attorney supposed to do what you hired him for, work on your legal issue, but if you need someone's shoulder to pour out your grief on, then find yourself a shrink for that. read more

The best lawyer. Yo consulte 4 abogados antes y ninguno me inspiro confianza ya que me ponian muchos peros. Una joben que trabajaba en una asociacion me dio el numero de el licenciado Andrei asi que lo llame, le pedi ayuda y el me pregunto sobre mi caso y me dijo si te puedo ayudar. A la semana el y su equipo ya tenian listo mis documentos para enviarlos a imigracion, muy pronto me consiguio permiso de trabajo y posteriormente un permiso para visitar a mi familia en Guatemala. Y pronto gracias a su ayuda hoy tengo mi recidencia Estadounidense. El abogado es muy detallista en los docuementos y todo lo envia de forma correcta por lo que imigracion nunca me pidio reenviar ninguna prueba extra pues el abogado todo lo envio correcto. La primer semana mi esposo me dijo estas segura que es un buen abogado?porque envio todo muy rapido y los otros abogados te decian que tomaba mas tiempo y yo le dije esperemos resultados, y que sorpresa tan grande al ver lo eficiente que es el abogado y tambien su equipo de trabajo. Su secretaria Irina siempre me atendio muy amablemente en la oficina, son muy profecionales. Cuando yo tenia preguntas me respondian a los correos elecrtonicos y llamadas de forma rapida. La comunicacion con el abogado es extraordinaria. Ademas el habla Espanol y me ayudo mucho ya que podia hablarle en mi idioma. Realmente yo investigue muchos abogados y el fue el mejor recomendado y hoy entiendo que me lo recomendaron tanto porque realmente es bueno. El abogado Andrei Romanenco fue una bendicion en mi camino, mi familia y yo le estamos eternamente agradecidos. read more

Attorney Romanenko is the best!! I was quite nervous after I got interview notice after applying for adjust of status. I checked bar association online, called almost all the certified immigration lawyers in SF area, attorney Romanenko is easily accessible and knowledgable to talk to, then I decide to go to his office for a consultation. Although in the beginning we had different opinions, and we had challenged each other, we made good argument and response to each other, and attorney find a law applying to my case, and after I went home, we continued argue fiercely about which part of that law helping my case. This is what I wanted. I don't need attorneys keep repeating how good they are, and keep repeating their own arguments, but could not make any counter argument to different opinion, ignoring others' opinion won't help any. Only good response or counter arguments make me feel the attorney is honest, trustworthy, and really care about your case. I like the feel that I could openly talk about anything to him, without the pressure from other attorneys who would be mad of their legal authority being challenged by you, although attorney Romanenko graduated from good law school and are very senior and experienced. Also the price attorney Romanenko would charge me for companying me to the interview is half of the price charged by junior attorneys. Unfortunately attorney Romanenko could not make it because fully booked for that day, he kept care about me and asked me about how it went. The interview went very well. All the best for attorney Romanenko. read more

I want to thank Andrei Romanenko and the entire team of professionals from his office who worked on my documents and forms. Everything went very smoothly, on time as agreed, and always with prompt feedback. I highly recommend Andrei to anyone interested in the high professional standard of a lawyer, where precision, responsibility, and professionalism are not just words. Before I chose Andrei, I consulted with three other lawyers. Two of them were recommended to me by my acquaintances. However, there were doubts, and I had to decline because there were inaccuracies right from the start: they were late for consultations and forgot to notify me until I called myself. The other time, my case was lost in the office. One of the lawyers even devalued my case and said that it was a 'lost cause'. In fact, we won exactly with this case. As a result, I was very satisfied with Andrei's work. His approach to the matter, his own preparation methodology for the hearing, and his responsible approach were the keys to success. Of course, you need to understand that you must also be involved in the process and take full responsibility for preparation yourself, not relying solely on the lawyer. But you can confidently rely on accuracy, precision, timeliness of submissions, and the coordinated work of the entire office team. At all stages, you will be calm about your case and understand that your fate is in reliable, professional hands. That the person helping you with defense is well-versed in the matter and knows what they are doing. read more

I express my deep gratitude to attorney Andrei Romanenko for taking my case and defending me when I was sued by a vexatious litigant. Mr. Romanenko came to my help and defense when other attorneys refused to deal with a matter involving a vexatious litigant and a toxic situation that I was in. I was sued for what I said in a different court case that involved the plaintiff. Being served with a lawsuit, and especially a lawsuit for what I said in court, was a horrible experience. I never dealt with the court system and I didn't know who to turn to. I reached out to Mr. Romanenko because I know him personally and asked him what I should do and where to even start. Mr. Romanenko offered to help me himself and to take payment only if we recover attorney fees from the plaintiff. Mr. Romanenko got the lawsuit dismissed in only 3 months and won an award of attorney fees against the plaintiff. Mr. Romanenko then collected the attorney fees against the plaintiff who was artfully hiding his income from enforcement. Andrei Romanenko took on a job that other lawyers were staying away from because they didn't want to deal with a bully, but Mr. Romanenko took on the bully head on and won. I recommend attorney Andrei Romanenko as someone who helps others and fights for what's right, which, in my view, is what being an attorney is all about. Other attorneys I contacted would not even talk to me if I didn't front a $20,000 retainer first. Thank you, Andrei, for everything you did for me. read more

I'm Japanese. So, I can't write in English well. But I really liked his job and sincerely appreciated for his help. So, I wanted to write about this lawyer. I had an immigration problem with my green card. And the time limit was coming in 3 weeks. I tried to find a lawyer in such emergency situation. I called so many law office. Most of the lawyers said that my situation is complicated when I explained about my situation. And they told they will charge more than 3 thousand. I felt like they just want money. But he was the only lawyer who didn't complain anything about how I created this problem or how much short time I had left. And moreover he charged amazingly low price compared to other lawyer. His experience is only 2 years. So, I wondered first. But he was expert for immigration law. When I met him first time, I felt that he had confidence what he was talking to me about and he had a lot knowledge through his explanation. I felt already so much relieved about my case even the deadline was coming soon. And he didn't disappoint my expectation. It was not only his job what he did for me. It was his personality,too. I sincerely appreciate that I could have him for my case. He started to take care of my case immediately. So, even though I felt time pressure, I could feel comfortable. I can't write well. But I just want to say at last, I will ABSOLUTELY introduce him to my friend who has immigration problem. read more

I would like to share my experience of working with Andrei Romanenko on a political asylum case. I chose this lawyer on recommendation, although I was subscribed to the channels of other lawyers. I read the reviews of his other clients, they were contradictory. But believing more the person from whom the recommendation came, I made the decision to work with Andrei. It is fair to say that working with him was difficult emotionally, because you expect a little more than a professional relationship between client and lawyer, but he immediately set the checkboxes, which we did not go beyond. But since it is the result that matters in a case, we had to put all the snot aside and do the job. And he knows his business 100%. He has a team. At first we were in contact with Irina and Daria. In person I saw Andrei only during the main court, but we were preparing for the process with him. It was a very important stage, because he gave us techniques on how to behave properly in court, how to respond to the prosecutor's questions and how to answer correctly. We won the case. Now we are waiting for 30 days, the deadline for the appeal from the prosecutor. I hope for final approval. I recommend Andrei Romanenko. The final decision is up to you. read more

Andrei Romanenko is the best immigration attorney in San Francisco. I first met him years ago when he helped me to successfully change my tourist status to F-1 (student). Couple years later he helped me to prepare my Adjustment of status application and went to the interview with me. After time passed I went to Andrei to help me to remove conditions off my green card. When the time came to file for my naturalization, I obviously went to his office again! Andrei Romanenko is exceptional Russian speaking attorney in San Francisco. He speaks 6 languages and has clients all over the world. This week was my naturalization interview, which I successfully passed, thanks to Andrei. He was always responsive to my emails and patiently answered all of my questions. I previously recommended him to my friends and they all were happy with his services.

I am really glad Andrei was our lawyer for the immigration process! Before coming to Andrei I had consultations with at least 4 lawyers and worked with 1 before, but Andrei was exceptional: knowledgeable, calm, kind, responsive, methodical, clear and straight-forward. He helped me a lot even during the initial 1-hour consultation, after which I decided that I can trust this him with my case, and, for me, his expertise definitely was worth the fee. After we signed all the documents, Irina organized all the papers so fast and perfectly - everything was clear and consistent, which I tried, but struggled to do myself initially. Andrei went over some additional details, I missed, which saved us from any issues, was extremely responsive and helpful and, indeed, the best immigration attorney I have ever come across! We got approved for the Green Card and I will definitely recommend Andrei to my friends! read more

Based on my experience working with Andrey, I want to say that he is truly a professional in his field. Very detailed study and preparation of documents and questions. I personally really liked Andrey's approach - just to the point, everything is very clear, without emotions. The office of this lawyer helped us present our case in a more favorable light and focus the judge's attention on seemingly completely unobvious things, but important for the migration court; a lot of issues were worked out. The lawyer's team perfectly prepared all additional documents and evidence/statistics on the political situation in our homeland. We are very pleased with the result of working with the Office of Immigration Lawyer Andrey Romanenko. read more

Good time of day. So we got our green cards. 3 years and 3 months after arrival in the United States.
