My wife and I consulted with multiple Bay Area firms before deciding to go with Kolomejec Law PC, and we definitely made the right decision in the end. Richard, Neven, and Ana were super helpful, clear, and supportive throughout the whole process of my wife's green card application, and we felt like we could put our trust in the them from the get-go. We didn't feel like we were being talked down to, or that we were being taken advantage of, which is more than can be said about some of the other firms we consulted with prior to landing with Kolomejec Law PC. The whole process took only a few months from first consult-to-interview-to-green card in the mail, and it would have definitely been shorter if it weren't for an income issue on my end. Anyway, long story short, my wife and I fully recommend Kolomejec Law PC to you and our friends/family for any immigration law-related processes. Sending a big thanks and lots of love to this wonderful team. read more

Long overdue review! I reached out to Richard back in 2024 for a consultation after reading all the stellar reviews on yelp. Fast forward to 2025, i reached back to start the process to apply for my green card. We applied end of August 2025 and green card approved Nov 11th 2025. Just about less than 3 months!! The whole process was very straight forward and quick. Richard and Neven are both extremely knowledgeable and available to answer any questions you may have at any time. I would have a response within the hour and sometimes even on weekends. Richard is very honest and straight forward and says it how it is, which reassured me and my husband. What would've been a very overwhelming process, ended up being very structured and with minimal stress, thanks to his guidance. Even during the interview, he was on call with us, which gave us a peace of mind. His fees are very reasonable for the quality of service you receive, and even now if i have any questions or concerns, he remains available. We will definitely be going back to him in the future and will be recommending him to friends and family as well! read more

Years ago Richard helped me with my green card application. Fast forward, then I became a US Citizen and needed help to apply for my wife's green card. Without thinking twice I reached out to Richard and started he process. As usual, Richard was very straight forward and clear with the instructions on what he needed from us, how things would go and about the payment options (which I must say that, being able to play in installments and with credit card is great!). Also, the price is fair and lower than what some people I know paid in other places. We were extremely happy and even surprised with how fast everything was. Her green card was approved in less than 2 1/2 months from the date of the application. Thank you Richard! read more

Kolomejec Law - Immigration Law Near Me - San Francisco, California

Mr Kolomejec took my call late in the afternoon today and listened, answered my questions and provided me with reassurance. Should I need the services of an immigration lawyer in the future, I would surely contact him. read more

Approved in less than 2 months (58 days)! Richard and his team are hands down the best immigration lawyers in the Bay Area. My colleague recommended him, and when my husband (USC) and I first reached out, we honestly had ZERO idea what we needed to do. During the free consultation, we weren't 100% sure about moving forward because he came across as a little too confident--but looking back, choosing to work with him was one of the best decisions we made. Our case was fairly straightforward, so we didn't want to waste time "lawyer shopping". We just wanted peace of mind. His fees were reasonable, there were no hidden charges, and he and his team responded to all our questions incredibly quickly. Highly recommend! read more

Kolomejec Law - Immigration Law Near Me - San Francisco, California

My husband got his green card through here. Amazing , quick and professional communication! Highly recommend!

We can't praise Richard and his son enough for their work on my wife's green card case. From the start, they were direct, thoughtful, and constructive about what needed to be included in our application, and they guided us through every step of the process. From preparing the portfolio, to supporting us through the interview, to ultimately receiving the green card, they were attentive and responsive to every question we had along the way. My wife received her green card just two and a half months after applying, which speaks volumes about their expertise and preparation. We felt confident and well prepared going into the interview and always knew we were in good hands. What truly sets Richard and his son apart is their specialization. Immigration is their focus, not just one of many areas they handle, and it shows in their results. Immigration is their ball game, and they knocked it out of the park with us. We HIGHLY recommend them. read more

"Best immigration lawyer in the Bay Area " Thank Richard for your help with me 22 years ago and with my friends and family read more

This review is long overdue. A good 30 days overdue, as it's still not sunk in that the Green Card was approved in 2 months, from application to card in hand. After speaking with a few immigration firms in the Bay Area, my wife and myself were at the end of our tether, as it was hard to find a good match. Either we got pushed around for an initial consult, or we just didn't find them professional enough. We came across Richard's yelp page while on the hunt for an immigration lawyer after the wedding. Setting up the initial consult was a breeze, and he was extremely courteous but professional on the call. He answered all our questions and we left on a good note. As soon as we were off the call, both my wife and myself looked at each other, with the 'We're going with him' look. And boy he didn't disappoint. Every interaction with him was spot on. Email responses were prompt. We are talking turn around time of less than 15 minutes. There were days where I got his response even before I hit 'Send' on the email. I have no idea how he does it, but he's extremely responsive, very thorough and shows the caliber of someone who has been doing this for 30 years. There are no 'Maybe's ' while talking with Richard. You will get your answer no matter how silly the question is, and he won't even make you feel judged. Both my wife and I had a ton of questions and he always responded. After dealing with immigration for over a decade on H1B, I was really happy to have found Richard who was equally diligent with the paperwork needed. I was worried about some parts on my application, but he assured me that it would be fine and made sure I got the paperwork needed. During our interview, he was on call the whole time and the officer specifically remarked about the paperwork that was uploaded, thereby making her life easy. There is a reason he has 347 five-star reviews on Yelp. It just means there were a 1000 others who were too lazy to write a review. We tend to write reviews for negative experiences and very seldom for positive ones. If you are still thinking if you should proceed with him, don't, just do it and you can thank me later. read more

Several months ago, I called and spoke to Neven. I was surprised to speak to a lawyer right away. Usually when you called a law firm, you can only speak to a receptionist, at best a paralegal. I was calling on behalf of family members, who had already hired an immigration lawyer. Though their lawyer was recommended by a corporate lawyer colleague, he was utterly unhelpful in giving advice after the initial green card application was filed or in navigating the process of additional information requested. Neven was able to give me really good advice and explained about current wait times for similar applications. We spoke at length for almost half an hour, even though I was not a paying customer. Neven explained that their family immigrated here and I got the impression that they are very passionate about helping people. I would not hesitate to recommend friends, family, and colleagues in the future! read more

Highly Recommend - Honest, Confident, and Truly Cares! I can't say thank you enough to Richard and his team for helping me through one of the most difficult times of my life. I'm married to a U.S. citizen, and after filing for Adjustment of Status in 2021, my case was unexpectedly denied in 2024. I was devastated after waiting so long, unsure of what to do next. I reached out to old family that I worked with and asked him to refer me to the best lawyer in the city! And yes, they referred me to Richard! I scheduled a free phone consultation with Richard, and from the very beginning, he was honest and straightforward. He clearly explained my options and told me that refiling would be a faster and better approach than going through the long appeal process. I appreciated his transparency and the flat fee he offered--no surprises, just clarity and confidence. When I visited his office with all my documents, his assistant took care of everything. The entire process felt organized, smooth, and stress-free. Richard gave me real peace of mind--I finally felt like someone had my back and genuinely cared about getting my case approved. My EAD arrived much faster than expected, and just 10 months later, my petition was approved. Now, I'm holding my green card in my hands! If you're going through immigration challenges and feel stuck, I absolutely recommend Richard. He's the kind of lawyer who tells you the truth, works efficiently, and truly knows what he's doing. I'm so grateful to him for guiding me through this journey. read more

I had a truly outstanding experience working with Richard and his team. From the very first free consultation, it was clear that Richard is highly professional, knowledgeable, and direct in his communication--which I deeply appreciated. He laid out the entire process with clarity, making it easy to understand what to expect at every stage. What stood out most to me was his no-nonsense approach. He provides very straightforward guidance, and in return, expects you to thoroughly review the material he shares--which is incredibly helpful and well-prepared. His method saves time and ensures everything stays on track. One of the most helpful aspects was Richard's ability to provide realistic timelines for how long each step with USCIS might take. In my case, I received my work permit within a month, and my green card was approved just two months later. The entire process--from start to finish--was completed in under 85 days, which was incredibly fast and far exceeded my expectations. Another big plus is his transparent and affordable monthly fee structure, which really helped us manage the financial aspect of the process without surprises. Perhaps the most impressive part was the responsiveness. Richard and his team answered emails almost instantly--often within 5 minutes! Their promptness and deep expertise, especially around the green card process, gave me tremendous confidence every step of the way. I highly recommend Richard and his team to anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and professional legal support for immigration matters. They made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. read more

By far the best and most competent immigration attorney I have ever worked with! Richard guided me and my wife through our marriage-based Adjustment of Status application from start to finish with incredible professionalism, clarity, and care. Every step of the process was clearly explained, all our questions were answered promptly, and we always felt confident that our case was in excellent hands. Thanks to his attention to detail and deep expertise, our application was approved smoothly, and I received my green card in less than three months, which exceeded all our expectations. The entire experience was far less stressful than we anticipated because of how organized and responsive Richard and his team were. We are extremely grateful for their help and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone going through any family immigration process! read more

I reached out to this attorney regarding immigration services and explained that I was available to meet any day but Tuesday. Despite this, I was asked if I could meet on Tuesday -- the one day I had specifically said I was unavailable. This may seem small, but when you're being quoted $8,000-$10,000 for legal services, attention to detail and basic listening are extremely important. The interaction came across as dismissive and a bit arrogant, especially compared to other attorneys I've spoken with who charge around $2,500 and actually take the time to listen, communicate clearly, and show genuine care for their clients. Based on my experience, I did not feel the level of professionalism matched the premium price. read more

I heartily recommend Richard for his professionalism, thoroughness and expertise in Immigration matters. He have me a complete run down of all the things to expect, and was extremely available to answer my questions. read more

Richard is an absolute professional. Took my case and took care of everything seamlessly from the beggining until the end. Available when you need, great communication and will have an answer for any question. read more

I could not ask for a better experience, Richard made the process to petition for my husband. We began with a Fiance visa, which was approved within a year of filing, then we moved to the Green Card, which was also within a year of filling. Happily Married and living with my husband. thanks to Richard, and what I like the most about the services is the communication part, you can easily contact him by email!!. read more

We had a bad experience working with someone else before Richard and Neven Kolomejec that led to my wife's green card getting denied. I'm very grateful to have met Neven because he was very informative and patient through the whole process. He was accommodating for last minute meetings and made the process less stressful than I initially made it out to be. Richard was strict about all the documentation we needed for our new case and I really appreciate that because I felt reassured knowing I had quality guidance with our 2nd application. Great team, highly recommended! read more

It was great working with Richard and his team, from start to end they provided clear and concise information of what was needed throughout the entire process. His communication was efficient, reliable and very responsive. He helped with all our questions and prepared us well for our interview. Which we really appreciated in high stress moments. For reference, from our file date for a green card application, it took 4 months to get an interview, and the application was approved the same week. We look forward to working with them again once we are ready for the next steps! read more

THE LEGEND !!! Exceptional Immigration Attorney! I got the privilege and the honor to met Mr. Kolomejec 23 years ago. He helped me navigate the complex immigration process with ease, ensuring a successful outcome. Their expertise and advocacy made a significant difference. He's not only an outstanding attorney, he's such an amazing person, genuinely cares about others, offering support and understanding. Reliable, dependable, and accountable for his actions. Over these years I have recommended Mr. Kolomejec to many people and all were extremely impressed and satisfied with his attentive, responsive, and tailored guidance throughout the process. Clear explanations, regular updates, and proactive issue resolution and more... Mr. Kolomejec and his son recently have helped my sister to get her citizenship and she couldn't be happier about their service and professionalism. I highly recommend Richard Kolomejec for all your immigration needs! His expertise, professionalism, and dedication to clients are truly outstanding. If you're seeking reliable, trustworthy immigration representation, look no further than Richard Kolomejec and his team. Their commitment to clients is unparalleled. read more

We filed for the green card for my wife on March 3rd and got approved on June 30th-less than four months later! Richard was everything we dared hoped for in a family immigration attorney. After reading some of the most genuine and glowing Yelp reviews we've ever seen for anyone or anything, we called the office and Richard himself answered right away. He was brisk yet approachable, very much on point, yet affable. We've never worked with anyone who usually got back with us in just a few minutes, even late into the evening! Once we signed on, Richard kept things blessedly simple. He sent us just two guide sheets: Necessary docs and suggested docs. They were brief but as complete as they needed to be. We gathered nearly all the docs in a day. Only creating photo collages of our life together took several days. Richard put us on to a free photo collage making utility called Canva, which took playing around with it for a morning to "get," but let us put together infinitely better collages that what we could do in Word. When the office created our case and filled out the I-130, I-485 and several other forms, it sent them to us to review and make sure they were right. Richard's extensive experience and knowledge of this realm of law proved vital and worth every penny of the $4,000 fee we paid, which is quite a reasonable fee by the way. The Adjustment via Marriage application is supposed to be straightforward, but if we had tried to put together the package ourselves, there was at least one important area we would have gotten wrong. We got a USCIS interview appointment within three months of our filing. At no extra charge, Richard joined us on the speakerphone, jumping in to answer questions when necessary. We watched a bunch of I-130/I-485 attorney YouTube videos and it appears that attorneys often charge extra to attend the interviews with their clients. Thank you so much Richard, Neven and the rest of your team for your fantastic help! read more

Excellent lawyer! Very knowledge, answer your questions clearly . Many years of experience . read more

Richard was quick and prompt with all of the paperwork. He also did a practice interview 2 weeks before our interview which was very helpful. From the time of filing to green card took about 5 months with his guidance. To put into perspective, I contacted at least 6 lawyers and he was the one I felt comfortable working with and supportive. I recommend Richard 100%! read more

We are so happy that we worked with Richard and Neven! They were incredibly speedy and were always willing to answer our questions throughout the process. We were thinking of self-filing, but working with them gave us true peace of mind that everything would work out well. We're very happy with our decision to work with them. Thank you both for your help in the process! read more

Richard was introduced to me by a good friend of mine, we went through the green card process through marriage. He is wonderful, we had one meeting and he got all the documents, 2 months later I received my social security number and 6 months later my green card. He is attentive, available to answer questions at all times, answered my emails very quickly, and helped make the process easy, fast and very smooth. He doesn't charge a lot for what he offers. Thank you Richard for being so special and super professional. We are immensely grateful forever. read more

I cannot recommend Richard enough--he's truly the best lawyer in the world! My green card was approved in just 4 months with no RFEs and no interview, which speaks volumes about his expertise. He's incredibly detailed, informative, and always responds to emails promptly, often within an hour. His professionalism and dedication made the entire process stress-free. Worth every penny we paid--his value is unmatched. If you're looking for an immigration lawyer, Richard is the one to call! read more

Kolomejec Law - I-485 Timeline - Immigration Law Near Me - San Francisco, California

Didn't work with Richard, but called to inquire about a re entry question, and he was very helpful. He mentioned that he doesn't take specific cases like mine, but provided valuable information, so that I could make a well educated decision. Everything worked out in the end! Would go back and use his paid service if I ever need. read more

Dependable and helpful in filing my mom's green card. Pretty much can do everything without visiting his SF office.

We applied for a marriage-based adjustment of status on August 2024, and we got approved yesterday (one day after our interview)! Richard was amazing every step of the way, dealing with our countless emails even when we had the smallest questions. Working with him gave us peace of mind that things would go smoothly (and they did!). During the entire process, he answered every question we had and reassured us when we were feeling doubtful and overwhelmed. The immigration process can be difficult, but working with Richard made everything more manageable. Thank you, Richard! You were on top of everything throughout the whole process. We couldn't have worked with someone better! read more

My husband and I had great experience working with Richard. Process of getting a Green card took only 3 months which exceeded all of our expectations. Everything went really smoothly with Richard's instructions and all of it was really stress free. Highly recommended his service! read more

Highly recommend Richard and team - the whole process from when we applied to when we received the green card was just over 2 months which is extremely fast! When initially looking for lawyers, every other one told us that timelines on the website are over 1 year, Richard was the only one who reassured us that the process can go way faster if we follow his tips and tricks, and he wasn't wrong! He is super knowledgeable and walked us through the whole process and what we needed to prepare. He also responds to emails super fast which we appreciated!! read more

I have been so excited to finally write this review! Richard has been nothing but incredible through this whole process. From day 1 he has been on top of everything, answering questions in a timely manner, and providing me with all the instructions I needed. There is a reason he is the BEST immigration attorney in the Bay Area. For a little background, I was protected under DACA for many years before I met my husband who is a US Citizen. Once we got married, we applied for a marriage based green card. We filed forms I-130 and I-485 concurrently. Here is a timeline of how my case went: -We submitted my applications to USCIS on 7/9/2024. -USCIS received my applications on 7/11/2024. -On 7/22/2024 I received the letter with my biometrics appointment (which I rescheduled for the following day). -On 7/23/2024 I completed my biometrics appointment. -On 7/24/2024 I received the update from USCIS that they were reviewing my application. -On 1/27/2025 USCIS approved my I-130 application. -On 1/28/2025 USCIS approved my I-485 application. -On 1/30/2025 I got an update that the green card was produced -On 2/5/2025 I received my green card in the mail. Since I was already protected under DACA, I had a social security card and an employment authorization card before even initiating this process. Overall my process took just a little under 7 months, which I think is more realistic compared to some other folks in other reviews who received theirs in 3-4 months. Also, I was submitting unsolicited evidence of my marriage to my USCIS account throughout the whole process until my applications got approved, which speeds up the process and limits RFEs. I hope this helps!! And thank you again Richard! read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Richard, and I was absolutely blown away by his professionalism, expertise, and dedication. I was really stressed and somehow feeling lost and scared. But Richard took the time to listen to me carefully, explain my options in detail, and help me in every step. What's unique about him? Richard was always available to answer my questions, even when i first called him for a consultation, he was so helpful and straightforward, and later he answered me when I called or emailed him on weekends. He was always patient and understanding, and he never made me feel like I was bothering him. Expected outcome when you work with Richard? EAD approved and delivered in 40days! and 12days later; Change of status and the whole application got approved in just 52days; from Start to End. I am so grateful for Richard's help. He helped me get through this, and I am confident that I would not have been able to achieve the same outcome without his guidance and expertise. read more

I reached out to Mr. Kolomejec with an inquiry and he responded quickly and kindly. Although we are not in need of an attorney, his advice was super helpful. Cannot thank him enough! read more

My wife and I had a pretty complex case. Richard and his son Neven were able to help us with every step of the way, and we were able to get approved for a green card quickly. The fees were reasonable and exactly what was quoted, with constant email and phone consultation along the way, including document/interview prep. Would highly recommend. read more

My wife and I put off applying for a long time because of all the scary immigration stories--complicated paperwork, endless waiting, and plenty of fear-driven legal advice. Even our son tried to help, but every attempt felt like stepping into a labyrinth with no exit. Then we met Richard. He wasn't just knowledgeable--he was reassuring, honest, and gave us real hope. His calm, trustworthy demeanor transformed our anxieties into a clear, manageable path forward. With patient guidance, he walked us through every step, making the process surprisingly simple. And in just eight months, I held my green card in hand! If fear has kept you from starting, take my advice--talk to Richard--you'll leave his office wondering why you waited so long! read more

Monsieur Richard saved my life! Truly! THE BEST immigration lawyer that I've ever worked with! I am the proud holder of a Permanent Residency Card (Green Card) AFTER ONLY 3 MONTHS, thanks to his meticulous and straightforward work ethic. My situation: My goal was to get an Adjustment of status through marriage. With Richard's guidance and reactivity, we gather all the paperwork necessary to create the most solid case. Richard's office gave the complete file to USCIS in March and I had the GREATEST surprise opening my mailbox end of May!!!!! SO FAST!!! My conversations with him were short and "to the point" which I deeply appreciate. No time is lost in futilities, he will tell you the truth, even if it can be hard to hear. He cares so much about his clients and always wants them to succeed. His services were also very affordable and his office provides a payment plan if necessary. Merci beaucoup Richard, I 100% recommend Richard S Kolomejec to any immigrants in the Bay Area who want to have effective results handled with care. read more

Spousal green card approval in 3 months. As a Type A person, it was really important for me to hire a lawyer that left very little guesswork. Richard was efficient and a clearly experienced professional when it came to submitting our application. We considered submitting ourselves, but thought that it was better to make sure we get it right the first time. And honestly, I truly think that working with Richard as our lawyer really did increase our chances of success. He is super responsive (our email thread is 50+ emails long after submitting all my follow-up questions lol) and organized. He's empathetic to the fact that this is a stressful time for us so he wastes no time in submitting and filing. We live in the peninsula and only had to meet with him once to drop off documents. He sent a copy of all our documents to us in a giant packet, which the Type A person in me really appreciated. Price was reasonable (fixed cost, with payment plan available) and eased our minds when it came to budgeting. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer! Thanks Richard!!! read more

I went with Richard to help bring my fiancé from Lebanon to the US. At first I had my initial case I filed alone, denied and hired Richard to assist and got my K1 visa approved in 2 months! (Filed in October 2023, approved in December 2023). When my fiancé came, we rehired Richard to assist with obtaining a greencard (in June 2024), and just obtained our greencard this month! (October 2024). This process has been so stressless working with his firm. I would recommend 10/10! I've met with many attorneys and I've never had one that was so quick to respond and actually cares for his clients as much as Richard and his firm does. Thank you!! read more
