Hiring Romben Aquino as our immigration lawyer was one the best decisions my husband and I ever made! He and his staff are on top of it and the whole process has been incredibly smooth. We went several years without being able to travel to see family in Canada. With his assistance, we were able to travel and have made it to the finish line. We appreciate you Romben!

What a wonderful attorney. So friendly, professional and helpful. Thank you so much for all the great suggestions

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Atty. Romben for his invaluable assistance and guidance during this challenging time of my life. Although Atty. Romben was unable to directly represent me in my case, his expertise and willingness to help were truly commendable. He took the time to listen to my situation and concerns. What stood out the most was his readiness to provide me with information and various scenarios to consider, despite not being able to take on my case. While my case requires a different approach, the insights provided by him were instrumental in helping me make informed decisions moving forward. Highly recommend!

What can I say? This office was not like many others I have tried! Mr. Aquino was very professional and patient with many emails and questions I’ve sent him, accurate and knowledgeable. ‏ I’ve reached this office as a referral from a different attorney that did not want to take this appeal. Mr. Aquino has made research before providing me his opinion about my case. He was basing previous similar cases and made me understand that I’m in ‘good hands’! Surprisingly, at the day of my appeal, Uscis Senior office has apologized for their wrong decision on my case, and made me a US citizen within the same day! It was only since Mr. Aquino has mentioned they have made me spend a lot of money for attorney and immigration fee. We came all the way from N400 denial into a US citizen.. Thank you, Mr. Aquino! I will always recommend you and your office!

I had a virtual consultation with Romben and my husband and I end up hiring him for our marriage based greencard. The preparation of all the legal documents required took some time, but after collecting all the evidence needed, everything was organized and mailed off fast. Romben and his assistant Ana are very responsive and kept us updated whenever the USCIS sent out new alert. We received the greencard 6 month after filing the case. My overall experience with them is positive!

When my husband and I decided to get married, we started looking for an immigration lawyer. My husband is a naturalized US citizen and I was a working visa holder in the US. The nature of my job is project based, and this can be difficult for someone who requires company sponsored visas, because when I finished a project, I sometimes have to look for employment in a different company, and had to start the visa process all over again, my husband(then fiancée ) really wanted me to stop stressing over visas, so we decided to settle down together after dating each other for 3 years. We started looking at yelp reviews for attorneys and had consultations with perhaps 3 different lawyers, Romben stood out to us, because he was very friendly and sweet. I was very nervous about having to consult a lawyer, since I didn’t understand all the “lawyer lingos”. But Romben was very easy to talk to. He broke down what the process is like, and asked us to describe our situation in details, and gave us reassurance that our case will be a painless one (I guess as painless as marriage based green cards go haha) It was not a hard decision to hire Romben for our case, he was very responsive, we emailed each other back and forth a couple times and Romben always give us detailed answers to our questions. His assistant Ana came in and had us fill out questionnaires and listed materials we had to prepare. Some of our documents needed translations, and the firm also provided us contact to such services. We pretty much have the package ready to go in a week after exchanging our vows in front of the Pasadena city hall, this was including the medical documents. The firm mailed out all our materials for us, Romben checked through all the files before sending them out. For someone like me who’s always over worrying, this thoroughness really puts my heart at ease. After that, whenever the USCIS updates our case, the firm will always keep us alerted as well, they sent us all the reminders to mail in the RFE and the biometric appointments, Ana was very patient whenever I came to her with a hundred questions, and always answered them in details. I recently received my conditional green card in the mail. We mailed out the applications in December, mailed the RFE in March, and got the card in June. I had a friend who started her marriage based green card process months before me, but I ended up getting my green card before she did. I can’t help but think this is due to the help from the Fong and Aquino law firm, I trusted Romben through the whole process. Romben once asked us why we picked him from a sea of yelp reviews, and I told him it was because he felt very “human”. I guess I really wanted to work with someone who is kind and caring, who I feel like I can ask them everything and not be treated like I’m wasting their time. And I’m glad Romben was exactly what we were looking for. Our running jokes through out a dozen email exchange, is that he’s actually “a robot who is pretending to be a human this whole time” and I always find that amusing.

My husband and I hired Romben to prepare our visa filing and we have had nothing short of an incredible experience working with him. Initially when vetting different firms to handle our immigration matter, we were looking for an attorney who was responsive and timely with their filings. Romben and his team were on top of our filing throughout the entire process and Romben made himself available to us for questions as needed. We ended up getting our visa months earlier than anticipated and the process for us was seamless. We recommend Romben to all of our friends or colleagues that require assistance or have questions on immigration matters and would use Fong Aquino again ourselves! Thank you Romben and team!

I'm so glad we were recommended Romben Aquino! My husband and I were looking for an attorney to help us with my green card application. Because of some challenges in my case our previous lawyer recommended us Romben because she believed he had more knowledge in cases like ours. We could not be more grateful that she did because Romben and his team looked at our whole case and explained every option with so much detail and honesty. I believe when you're going into any process like this with USCIS you need someone who will fight for you but also be very honest and not sugarcoat anything. Although our case was challenging and we had to deal with a new administration in office and covid guidelines, Romben and his team was able to prepare our case in the most affectively way possible. We submitted everything March 2022, I had my biometrics in April 2022, we had a RFE in November 2022, they received everything February 27,2023 and I was approved the very next day February 28, 2023 with no interview needed. Romben and his team made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process, they kept us updated and he made sure our packet was well prepared before sending it off. We could not be more thankful for all their hard work. We highly highly highly recommend Fong & Aquino!

I am a Canadian citizen. I hired Romben Aquino to apply for a waiver for admissibility as a visitor to the U.S., after having had canabis found in my vehicle many years ago. Romben handled this case to my complete satisfaction. He handled all of the details for the filing of the waiver and all of the subsequent communications with U.S. Customs. He was both highly professional and also personable and easy for me to communicate with. I experienced reasonable responses times to all my communications.

Definite recommend for immigration cases. - JH
