About

Practicing immigration law is a very personal profession for me. My parents both immigrated from Germany in the 1960s, so my sister and I are first-generation Americans. My wife was born in Russia, and has since become a naturalized U.S. citizen. Our two children are growing up in a multicultural Russian-German-American household, and I believe that they benefit from it. Having such real-life connections with the immigration experience allows me to understand my clients' concerns and perspectives to a personal degree. My many years of experience with all kinds of employment-based and family-based immigration matters have provided me with a great deal of knowledge and comfort in representing my clients to an exceptionally high standard.

I asked a lawyer friend to recommend an immigration lawyer when I was about to start my green card application. My friend referred his ex-colleague Mr Wiedemann immediately. With only one phone call with Ralf my husband and I knew that this is lawyer we were looking for. We are so glad that we made that decision and we are very thankful for his wonderful work. Mr Wiedemann has been extremely patient in answering my questions and meticulous in preparing my application forms. He always responded to my emails promptly no matter how late it was. Sometimes I sent emails at late night or during weekends while not expecting an immediately reply but he always did, which made me feel even guilty and tried to refrain myself from doing so. Mr Wiedemann’s knowledge and expertise in immigration law, attention to details, outstanding services and professionalism impressed us very much. We are thankful for his professional guidance and his presence at my green card interview. We will strongly recommend him to our friends.

Ralf was terrific. He worked with me over a period of almost a year, first on a J-1 visa application and then on my application for permanent residency (based on my marriage to a US citizen). With his help you will be able to absolutely minimize the stress involved in the immigration process. He walked me through every step of the way, drafted the forms, was clear about what documents I needed, prepared me for the appointments, and answered all the questions that I sent him via email very promptly and precisely. He also met with myself and my wife at convenient times and locations. Ralf is friendly, personable, and accommodating. We are grateful to him and recommend his services to you unreservedly.

I met him as my immigrant lawyer in 2008 as I begin my journey to acquire H-1B visa as a young pastor in South Jersey. He took about two hours in our initial meeting which was Pro Bono to explain and to ask questions about my current status and what I need to do to acquire H-1B visa. He called my several times to ask questions. He was always opened to have conversations about any questions that I had. He was not only kind but competent in what he was doing. He went extra miles to gather all the documents and processed the document with such a thorough manner. I was able to acquire H-1B visa with his help. And I hired him again to go through the process to get a Green Card. At this point, I trusted his fully and he again did a perfect job processing all the documents. I was able to get the Green Card through his hard work. After five years later, he helped my once again to acquire the Citizenship of the United States of America. If you want a lawyer who will be there for you throughout your journey and be successful at the end of the journey, you definitely need him as your lawyer.

No words could make justice to the incredible legal service provided by Mr. Wiedemann. I could not be more grateful. Mr. Wiedemann has guided me through the 5 year rigorous process in becoming a US citizen and ensured all processes were completed as expected by USCIS. I felt safe and confident the entire time and everything was exactly on schedule. This comes from the extensive experience, unparalleled professionalism and compassion that Mr. Wiedemann demonstrated each step of the way. The communication has always been extremely comprehensive and swift, very important for someone like me who is not savvy in legalities and formalities. There is nobody better in this field! I heard so many discouraging situations from acquaintances who used different other services from various immigration lawyers and I consider myself so lucky to have found Mr. Wiedemann to represent me throughout the evolution of my case. R.W was highly recommended to me and my expectations were exceeded by far. Thank you Mr. Wiedemann for everything you do. You are changing lives and families and I will always be grateful to you!

We benefited tremendously from Mr. Wiedemann's clear, confident, detailed knowledge and counsel regarding an area of immigration law about which we knew little. Mr. Wiedemann worked respectfully and actively with our staff member, providing responsive and thorough guidance and explanations at every step. He is a very good listener/decision partner, balanced the multiple interested parties in our situation as if it were natural and easy, and was also very willing to take the lead in framing what he thought will be the most successful approach. He told us what he would do, then did it, then explained the next steps we could expect. He was clear about fees up front and easy to reach when questions arose. Feel so lucky we were referred to him. Absolutely excellent.
