Professional and trustworthy
Attorney Elizabeth Ricci was helping me and my family with our immigration case (EB-2 NIW) from the very beginning till the very successful end. She was exactly as you would expect the best immigration lawyer to be: professional, attentive, and caring. Her experience and expertise allowed us to go through the whole process promptly and smoothly. I appreciated her flexibility and creativity in solving all the issues that arose on our way. Also, the paralegals who worked with Ms. Ricci were very effective and helpful. If you are searching for a reliable and trustworthy immigration lawyer do not look any further – Elizabeth Ricci is the one!

Best Immigration Lawyer
I consulted Mrs. Elizabeth with my immigration challenge. I approached her with lots of doubts thinking that my case was not possible at this time. Mrs. Elizabeth treated me with such respect, she has me feeling very optimistic after that consultation session. Her level of knowledge and professionalism towards my case was impressive. Today I am just smiling. Mrs. Elizabeth fixes my immigration challenge. Thank you, Mrs. Elizabeth, for your good work. You are changing lives with your talent.

Made my Naturalization process much simpler and more stress-free
I found Elizabeth through some of my close friends suggestions. I need to say I got multiple recommendations from different friends. And I`m very happy I followed their advice. Elizabeth did an amazing job. It was professional, quick, and with precise attention to detail. I don't think the job she did could be done better at all. Also, Elizabeth is very responsive. And she was answering all my emails very quickly. I strongly recommend Elizabeth Ricci as a top immigration lawyer.

Green card application through marriage
Dr. Ricci helped me and my husband apply for my green card. I would recommend her with no hesitation. I talked with 6 lawyers before her that said I was not elegible to apply for a green card or kept saying the process was complicated because it was a "difficult interpretation of the law". I even talked with the US immigration office phone call services and the person that answered also said I was not elegible to apply for the green card. Dr. Ricci, did it with no problem and less than a year after my application I had a green card for 10 years. Also, before Dr. Ricci I had a lawyer from my work attorney insurance (Hyatt legal) who made me and my husband do unnecessary immigration petitions (I found out after I hired Dr. Ricci). My experience with this attorney has been great, she is very honest and has a better understanding of the law than most attorneys I have been in contact with.

Ms.
I was skeptical at first when I hired her since we are not in the same city but it never felt like it. Very professional, swift in her response, she's very good at her job. I filled EB2 visa after a year and 6 months I got my green card. I highly recommend her for anyone with immigration needs she will review your case and tell you your chances because she's always abreast with latest information. Thank you so much

Knowledge, Compassion, Professionalism
Immigrating sucks. It's expensive, grueling, and you are frequently treated like someone who's up to no good, rather than a person who could be a valuable member of society, if given the chance. Elizabeth gets that, and she will stick with you through the rollercoaster of trying to become a permanent resident / naturalized citizen of the USA. A native of Canada, I approached her 6 years ago while attempting to transition from a work sponsored visa to a merit based visa (EB1). Things initially didn't go the way I hoped they would, but she stuck with me through thick and thin, giving me sound advice and even flying up to be present at one of my hearings. I am pleased to say that as of today I am a 100% legal permanent resident of the United States, and it is in no small part because of the knowledge, advice, and raw persistence of Elizabeth. Thank you so much, Alex

Employment Based Immigration
Elizabeth was able to guide us through the immigration process for my wife who was a dependent applicant along with me. Even though my application was handled by my employer's attorney, Elizabeth was able to work with them in submitting both our application together. Also, during our process, as there were law changes due to Executive Order, she was extremely helpful with providing clarification on how those laws will affect our application through videos posted on her youtube channel and also email. I would highly recommend her for any immigration cases as she had provided excellent service.

The best there is
Mrs Ricci was recommended to me and I have no regrets hiring her. She was detailed in her explanations, consistent with follow up and most of all honest. Today my wife and I petition has been approved. She was more of a friend to us than a lawyer.

Excellent immigration lawyer
A friend of mine recommended Ms. Ricci as an immigration lawyer, as I was planning to apply for a Green Card, but had no idea what my chances were. We contacted Ms. Ricci in 2018, Summer, had a long conversation with her over the phone, told her about my (and my husband's) educational background, about our current immigration situation and other specific questions that support ones eligibility to apply for a green card and increase the chances to get one. Throughout the application process, she and her company Rambana&Ricci provided legal support (NIW application), let us know about the updates in our case, quicky answered our questions or concerns and have been helpful, patient, knowledgeable and professional. We sent our papers in December, 2018 and it took about one year and 8 months to receive my Green Card. I must say I am thankful to Ms. Ricci for her help and professional work. I hope those of you that read my review and are in need to talk to a reputable, fantastic immigration lawyer or are in a situation similar to the one I was back in 2018 (H4 with an advanced degree), will contact her because it is possible she'll change your lives. It is a lengthy process, but Ms. Ricci will make sure the papers you submit and the application process gets smooth. Good luck to you!

Complex Indeed
Mrs Ricci’s bio mentions her experience with complex cases and I can attest the statement is warranted. Being military stationed overseas presents its own unique challenges but Mrs Ricci surprised me with her availability. Responses were prompt and thorough and she was willing to explain time and again until I truly understood the process. I felt confident my case was proceeding down the right path and was ultimately rewarded with that belief in the end as my wife completed her naturalization ceremony. However, the real reason I’m pleased to leave this review Is because at one point in my case there was a significant mistake made. We all make them and no one is exempt, but this in my opinion is why Mrs Ricci earned my 5 star rating. She immediately accepted responsibility and went into action correcting the issue. Not only was the potential impact of that negated, the personal resolution she offered was more than acceptable to me. In short, this is exactly what I wanted from a lawyer when I hired her. Without having any prior experience in this arena, I wanted someone who I felt was on my side, truly invested in my case and had an ear for my concerns. Being able to call my wife an American means more to our family than I could express and a large part of that is thanks to the relentless effort on Mrs Ricci’s part to make it happen. Having finished the process I can authoritatively say that she was in full command the entire time and well aware of the options available to me. Because of the geographical separation I was unable to meet her in person but even the first phone consultation eliminated that trepidation. She is personal, honest, down to earth and most importantly realistic. At no point did I feel surprised by times, fees or processes because I was prepared beforehand with realistic expectations. Quite clearly she knows how to navigate through this quagmire of immigration and having established my timeframes in an appropriate manner, I never felt something was taking too long or my case was falling behind. This is a testament because she did not feed me false hope and instead provided me with needed patience. I know choosing a lawyer can be a daunting task, but if you are interested in results you can have them by retaining Mrs Ricci. For the level of attention and care I received the fees were justified. Her office worked with me on payments in a way that allowed my case work to begin without tanking my finances. All in all, I feel as though a genuine, concentrated effort was put into making my family’s goal happen which is why she earned the accolades she has received. If you need assistance with immigration that feels too much to handle or too complex to figure out (which my case was), give Mrs Ricci an opportunity to act on your behalf. My family couldn’t be happier with that decision.

I know dozens of lawyers, but Elizabeth Ricci is the one that I turn to when I'm grappling with immigration law issues. I've known her for many years, and she's one of the smartest and most resourceful attorneys around. Just as importantly, she (like her her partner Neil Rambana) is as ethical and as client-centered as any attorney you are likely to come across. Highly recommended.
