Let me take you on a brief journey of my experience with Boston's Immigration attorneys. Aside from…read moreGreg, I won't be using names as I'm not here to bad mouth other lawyers- but I feel sharing my experience with several firms will help illustrate the stark contrast between Greg and others that you can hire. In 2015 (?) I went online to find the 'best' immigration firm Boston has to offer. I had a fiancé in a middle eastern country and we needed a K1 visa. In hindsight, I wish I had hired Greg. In a no-cash hindsight reality, I'd fill out the damn paperwork myself. Why? Because I spent $5500 on a firm that has tons of reviews. I thought 'wow' these reviews and fancy degrees must mean that I'm getting top notch talent and he will be in the country super fast!'. I was super wrong. With this particular firm, I only met the big boy once- when I came by to drop off a check, and spoke with him once on a conference call when he wanted me to file a mandamus (which would cost me another 6k). Aside from that, I had a relatively inexperienced attorney (who I really liked) that didn't coach me for or help during the interview- which was brutal. Then this particular firm misfiled a re-application for the work permit, tried to blame it on the USCIS when in reality, it was because their paralegal screwed up. I was young and excited about many reviews. I've learned since then. Fast forward to 2021. A NOID was issued. If you don't know what this is, consider yourself lucky. Its about as scary as it gets. I hired another lawyer who took another $5500 but started making concerning errors. For instance, all the affidavits were the same but she wanted our friends to fill in 'details'. Literally- the same format and phrases. Then my name was misspelled on my own affidavit and my place of birth was incorrect although a two hour interview covered these kinds of basic things. This lawyer wanted to get information on our lives (read: gossip) that didn't sit well with my husband. She literally said it was just for her, as it wasn't going to be included in the response to the USCIS. When a random man who was working in her firm but I had never heard of, reached out instructing me to notarize a document to keep them as council because she was changing the name of her firm, I finally relented. I was upset that she would change the name of her firm while we are responding to a very scary letter. My husband wanted to fire her long before this point, but I didn't want to change horses mid stream. That and clearly I'm no good at hiring OR firing. Ah yes, and I should mention that her work (affidavits that are all the same and 2 zoom calls) cost - you guessed it! $5500. Yes, every dime I sent her was magically spent on all her legal work. We were denied a refund of any sort. As much as that sucks, we have made some hilarious jokes about it (especially as my husband predicted it!) and its become not only a very good lesson, but its something that we can keep referring to and making jokes about for a very long time. Another lawyer steps in. He was a consultant. He was great and I'll write about him in another review as he was never my actual 'lawyer' just someone I used as a sounding board while getting hosed by other legal professionals. Then finally, we hire Greg. This is a guy who will not be pulling the bait and switch that we felt with the first firm or the host of issues that we encountered with the second.  What interesting about Greg is that every single person- from a senator's office to immigration attorneys- every one of them knows who he is. Not only that, but he is spoken of with reverence. He's the best lawyer we've ever hired. You probably don't know this, but he is the former president of the New England chapter of AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Association). This is no small deal. He won't write your affidavits, but you probably want original, authentic voices anyway. We need all kinds of lawyers for stuff and we are sad that Greg can't just handle all our legal needs. He was cheaper, more professional, available at all hours, and seemed to actually care about what happened to us. I don't know how this guy doesn't have hundreds of reviews on all applicable websites. Within a month of hiring him, my husband's green card arrived. He knows immigration law better than anyone you will come across and you will be sad he doesn't offer more services.

I came to Greg Romanovsky and his team after hearing great things, and they truly lived up to every…read moreword. Before finding Greg, I had worked with another attorney on a complicated naturalization case. Unfortunately, I was given bad advice that only made things worse. Finding Greg felt like a turning point. From the start, Greg was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also genuinely kind and understanding. After my difficult experience, that personal connection meant a lot. He walked me through every step of the process, clearly explained what to expect, and laid out all the possible outcomes so I always felt informed and prepared. Greg built my case thoroughly, with attention to details that my previous attorney never even inquired about. The preparation was excellent. I felt confident that everything had been thought through and nothing was overlooked. Greg was amazing in helping me through the USCIS interview. He helped me prepare thoroughly ahead of time, walked me through the key points I needed to be ready for, and made sure I felt confident going in. During the interview itself, he was also able to speak directly to the officer on my behalf, which made the whole process feel completely different. It really took a weight off my shoulders, and I felt so much more at ease knowing he was by my side. I'm incredibly grateful for the support Greg and his team gave me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone going through a complex immigration process.

My husband and I had a standard "cut and dried" immigration case, as I was a US citizen with…read moremyself, my parents, and my grandparents born here, and my husband and I got married and he was born in India. We started working with Goldstein Immigration Lawyers in 2019 after we had our initial consultation, and we liked that they were clear regarding goals, prices, timeline, and what they needed from us. I 100% believe every person/case is "case by case" due to where they are from, what their immigration status is, and the ease of which they can get their documents. For example, I work in an administration role and had experience cataloging binders of documents, and had easy access to my birth certificate, passport, family documents, medical records, but my husband lived/worked in multiple countries and needed time to gather everything. I could see how someone who wasn't fluent in English or had experience with piles of documents or were born in a country/place where records were hard to come by could have trouble. We were married in summer of 2019, and due to Trump in office, we decided to go "one step beyond" on everything. They wanted copies of letters, emails, and texts? We kept a printed binder of texts from 5 years of our relationship. They wanted samples of our rental documents, utility bills, and ephemera from getting married? I scanned, bagged, and copied files of every single engagement card, wedding card, receipt of my wedding rings, documents from our jobs, our rental companies, or electric/gas/water bills going back 1-2 years, and included photo albums of double the photographs of our families, friends, and us traveling they wanted. People need to realize that this is NOT an easy process, even with the most "basic" immigration cases. We treated this like a second job. We kept receipts of every place we went. We took photos of ourselves when traveling and put them on all social media. We had so many labeled folders and binders of information we ended up buying a personal filing cabinet for it. THAT is the level of work you need to do on your immigration cases, especially those for whom English is not their official language, there are children involved, or one spouse has one type of visa and another spouse has another. We were in contact with the "main lawyers" during the "big parts" of the process where we had interviews, or citizenship testing at City Hall. During the majority of the process when you're sending them signed documents, copies of things, forms, paperwork, scanned items, you will go through paralegals. Our entire process from beginning to end went from 2019 to Oct of 2024---going back through past emails, I'd say we were handed over to 10-15 paralegals in that time. Some of it has nothing to do with us; it's simply because people left for other jobs, other careers, COVID pandemic had people changing jobs, etc. But the process is very long and although THEY need to bring their A game to the table to help you, YOU and your spouse/family/self need to advocate for yourself. If you can advocate or have family/friends that will help you advocate, ask questions, email, call, then the process will go smoothly. For example, anything they wanted us to sign, we didn't just sign it. We read the documents together, checked for questions we didn't understand or spelling mistakes, and then sent it back. If we planned to travel out of state or out of the country or my husband got a new job, we asked how that would impact our case first. You CANNOT pay them, sign the documents, and expect it all to go smoothly. There were occasional times I found a date that was wrong or a word misspelled, or they had a piece of paperwork that was incorrect. We HAD to work with them because it was OUR case. Overall, we loved the lawyers we worked with, the paralegals are young but on top of things, and I appreciated the in-person consultation, the first Zoom consultation we had (again, this was during "COVID world" so things were crazy), but the DAY my husband passed his citizenship test, he was able to take his oath. I also liked that right up front they were 100% clear on how much the process cost, the break-down of fees and when they were due (and for people complaining about the fees, doing the paperwork yourself still costs a lot of money, but with a good lawyer you have peace of mind that everything is being rushed and processed correctly), and when we had any questions, we could email or call at any time. Rarely did it take 24 hours to get a response. Even when our case was slowing down due to COVID lockdown, they would still reach out to simply say "Nothing yet, COVID has delayed things, we will let you know", which helped us feel a lot better. I would recommend them to ANYONE! Note: If you are unsure, you can STILL do a consultation, that does NOT mean you are hiring them as your lawyer!
