This is the best law office I've ever had! I was referred to them by a friend that had a complicated and successful case. I first met Mitch which is very knowledgeable and we came up with detailed plan that couldn't fail. He knew all the details and rules for the visa and directed me on how to develop the business in way that will align with the immigrations laws. After the first meeting he connected me with Jenna Robinson, a lawyer at the Irvine office. She was great! Very responsive, she knew and gave me honest, accurate, and straight forward information which led to a successful case! Jenna was professional and responded very quickly. Her opinion and advices had tremendous effects on the successful case. They helped me also with finding corporate lawyer and business plan writers which all were great and professional. Probably the best you can get. read more

The Statue of Liberty famously displays the words "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore..." While these lines of this poem tell a lofty story about immigration and our country providing refuge, new opportunities and hope for immigrants, many law firms unfortunately do not truly embody these ideas or operate from a place of compassion, but rather are out to profit from the immigration process while using apathetic and/or overwhelmed employees to carry out their business goals. I can corroborate a lot of the one-star reviews. Unlike what some would want you to believe, Fragomen is not a beacon of light for immigrants. This company's primary purpose seems to be to push out applications for corporations at a high volume using the most cost effective methods possible. Naturally, if your business model is "petition assembly line," providing exemplary communication, care and customer service to each foreign national (even if many are anxious to hear answers about their fate) is probably not a high priority, or even a possibility. In order to remain "cost-effective," this office primarily employs young recent college graduates as staff members/case processors who generally have little experience in or knowledge of immigration law but are expected to handle high volumes. These millennials tend to do a lot of the legwork when it comes to handling applications, which explains the slow response rates, lack of competence, apathy, lack of professionalism, etc, you're reading about in the negative reviews. Not to mention due to what I'm assuming are management issues, turnover rate seems to be high so your case may change hands multiple times. I wouldn't recommend based on my personal experience and knowledge of their practices. read more

I was initially referred to a lawyer at this firm by a friend and I knew I was in good hands when I discovered upon research that this is a top ranked immigration firm in the US. Overall, I was very impressed from start to finish including the legal advice I was given, their strong knowledge of current developments due to the large number of cases they handle and the quality of documentation that they produced. I was able to receive my green card in less than 12 months by working with Fragomen. I understand each immigration case will be unique, but based on my experience, I highly recommend this firm. read more

We are using these guys for H1B's and Green Cards. They are terrible. They are incompetent, have no understanding of technology and are very unresponsive. If you want an immigration firm which will waste your time and screw up on a regular base, by all means call on Fragoman. read more

They made a very good job to make the process as slow as possible. Finally, when I had the approval of my case and asked them to send an approval notice original to me, I got a reply: "We don't send out approval notices, you can have a copy of it for your records". read more

Fragomen is the best when it comes to handling immigration issues especially when there's kinks in your case. I had a myriad issues on my case that dragged for years and Fragomen pulled me out of all those situations. Their documentation is immaculate and the staff is incredibly responsive, conscientious and professional! Henna, Lina and Shafiqa are a great team! Definitely a good value for your money! read more

They made a very complicated situation very straight-forward and simple. Now I'm a Permanent Resident with their help. They looked after my H-1B visa when I entered the USA back in 2010. Two months after I got accepted during the interview process I already started my new job. They made the whole process easy. When I was on my 2nd round of my H-1B visa I was fortunate to get a Green Card sponsorship with my employer in late 2013. By January 2015 my application was approved by the Department of Labor and everything seemed fine. Unfortunately the studio that sponsored my application shut-down that same month and it seemed like it was all over. Nope! They were very communicative during the whole process and told me what I had to and directed me with the most important priorities first. Despite being made redundant and switching employers during this time, they made sure everything was coordinated. In August 2015 I received my Green Card! Neil Jani and Delora Sandoval were the main attorneys looking after my case. I can say they're among the best! read more

To start off Fragomen is the leading immigration firm in the country; those are the facts. The partner at the law firm Mitch Wexler, and the associates on the case, went above and beyond, and out of their way, to ensure my case went smoothly. They answered calls at all hours and were extremely responsive & helpful. Having recommended to friends, and having used it myself, it is needless to say they can handle the most complex cases as well as regular immigrant cases, such as mine. Would 100% recommend this law firm (specially the Irvine branch!) to anyone who needs any sort of immigration help or guidance, they are ALWAYS there to help. Thank you Mitch! Thank you Fragomen Team! read more

Slow and not responding, also not picking up calls. You'll be the one responsible liaising btw your employer and them, although they were actually the one paid to be responsible. I have provided all materials over a month ago now but have never heard back from them. They seem not to care at all when your start day is and they tell the company you can only start working AFTER APPROVAL for H1B transfer. Which is NOT true, and the processing time to receive the approval can take as long as 7 MONTH right now. So I guess if you are working with them be prepare to start after a YEAR signing your offer letter! read more

Very slow, unresponsive. Keep on changing dates and wasting time.

Let me start by saying that if I could give 10 stars instead of just five, I would. The team at Fragomen, Del Rey in Irvine, CA is truly the GOLD STANDARD of immigration lawyers. They are the most professional, prepared, organized and knowledgeable guys I've ever met. I can especially recommend DAVID RAFT, Senior Associate at the firm. I must single him out because he has gotten me an H1b VISA, an E2 VISA and lastly the coveted GREEN CARD through the EB5 process, all without a single hiccup. David and his team are calm, cool and collected. No flashy stuff. No tricks. Just down-to-earth honest advice and spotless professional work. I worked with them for years and they have not made one single mistake! They are also extremely responsive, getting back to any of my questions within 24-48 hours. Fragromen is truly a BRAND, known for quality and professionalism. The USCIS, Immigration, knows them for the quality of their work, so, you are off to a good start if your case is handled by them. Fragomen is not on the low-end as far as costs go, but I can assure you, you get more than your money's worth with them. My mother always told me: get a good doctor and a good lawyer, and don't cut corners there. In the end, cheaper immigration services end up being more expensive. Prior to David, I worked with a couple other services, only to see my life completely turned around, having to leave the country for six months, etc... all because of their lack of rigor and knowledge. Never again. Go with David and his team. Seriously. read more

I had the best experience with Fragomen Del Rey. I met with 2 attorneys and both of them took my immigration problem very seriously and answered my questions in a very professional way. When I left their office, I had so many other questions and both attorneys answered my questions by email within the hour. I would recommend Fragomen Del Rey in Irvine and was very please with my experience with them. read more

David Raft and his team did an amazing job! I had my interview for residency few months ago and was approved on the spot. They made my journey to getting my Green Card stress and worry free. They are the most efficent and professional people I've ever dealt with. Again thanks David, Delora and Sharon for an amazing job! read more

Very unprofessional and poor communication amongst other things.They don't reply or read emails or return calls. Treat their clients really bad and have no regard for them. They handled my immigration case and completely messed it up. Would not recommend them at all. Caused me a lot of stress and worry. And paid a very high fee. Stay well away. read more

I was referred to Mitch Wexler at Fragomen for immigration issues for my company (small startup with less than 10 employees). He and the Fragomen team are extremely responsive, communicative and efficient. They helped our company sponsor someone for the H1-B visa lottery. They started this process for me just ONE MONTH before the April deadline, and they handled everything with little handholding from me. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I expected to put in quite a bit of time and energy especially with such a short timeline to submit the application; however, they made the entire process stress-free. If I had a question, they always answered my email or took a phone call with me within a few hours. I don't know how big of a firm they are, but they treated me incredibly well, and their fees are very reasonable. In fact, I got higher quotes from small and large firms. And to boot, the application was accepted and approved just a few weeks after submission. amazing! read more
