Ricci Brings Legal Expertise to STEM Professionals Seeking U.S. Residency
Elizabeth Ricci, a nationally recognized immigration attorney, has built a reputation for helping STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) professionals navigate the complex U.S. immigration system. With over two decades of experience in immigration law, Ricci’s approach is focused on securing green cards for researchers, scientists, and engineers through National Interest Waivers (NIW) and Extraordinary Ability (EB-1) petitions. Ricci has established herself as a top choice for individuals seeking U.S. residency without the need for employer sponsorship.
“Many STEM professionals face a uniquely challenging immigration process,” says Elizabeth Ricci, Managing Partner of Rambana & Ricci, PLLC. “I understand their work and know how to present it in the legal language that secures approval. Our goal is not only to win cases but to empower our clients to continue their important work in the U.S.”
A Proven Track Record of Success for STEM Professionals
Elizabeth Ricci’s practice is highly focused on the needs of STEM professionals, particularly those from countries with robust educational and scientific communities, such as Nigeria. Over the years, Ricci has built a practice around helping individuals who might otherwise be overlooked by traditional immigration pathways. Her success in obtaining green cards for STEM professionals is well-documented, with numerous success stories from clients who had been told by other attorneys that their cases had little chance of success.
“I had consulted with other lawyers before coming to Elizabeth,” said Canice from Nigeria, whose EB-2 National Interest Waiver was approved. “They told me my chances were slim, but Elizabeth had confidence from the start. She was right, and my green card was approved in under two years.”
Ricci’s expertise extends to complex cases such as those involving “Extraordinary Ability”.
Ricardo Gueiros, a Distinguished Professor whose EB-1A was recently approved noted, “Elizabeth Ricci is not merely an attorney; she is a brilliant legal strategist. Navigating the EB-1A process requires more than just meeting criteria—it requires a narrative. Elizabeth mastered the nuances of my academic profile and translated them into a compelling petition. Her confidence and expertise were the decisive factors in this approval, providing clarity even amidst a challenging immigration landscape.”
Understanding the Needs of Immigrant Professionals
As a former Small Business Development Peace Corps volunteer in Guatemala and a recognized thought leader in the immigration law space, Elizabeth Ricci brings a unique perspective to her practice. Her extensive experience with foreign-born U.S. military veterans and her commitment to serving the immigrant community are central to her approach. Through her work, Ricci has proven herself as more than just a legal expert; she is a mentor and advocate for those seeking to build their lives in the U.S.
“My practice is grounded in a deep commitment to humanitarian service,” Ricci says. “Helping someone with an extraordinary career achieve the American Dream is not just a legal challenge, it’s personal. I treat my clients as I would want to be treated if I were in their shoes.”

Ricci’s media appearances have established her as a go-to expert on complex immigration topics, including the National Interest Waiver, Extraordinary Ability petitions, and O-1 visa processes.
