I was so lucky to meet Olia Catala: her experience and meticulous responsibility are above and beyond. From the very beginning I was explained about all the strategy and necessary steps of my immigration case. Navigating the US immigration system can be extremely daunting but with the help of Olia, I felt completely supported through every step. Her deep expertise in immigration law and high level of professionalism place OLIA CATALA among the best immigration lawyers in the state of Washington. I highly recommend her services. She is up to date with the latest revisions to immigration laws.

Where to begin... Olia Catala is the unicorn of immigration attorneys and is definitely the one you've been looking for! She is truly a rare professional who is hard to come by these days. She is very positive with amazing energy, she is super organized and extremely detail oriented, a clear communicator and motivated to help. 0lia did an outstanding job with our case from start to finish. She simplified the whole complicated process and made it manageable and even fun to work on. She was always available to answer any and every question so we were kept in the loop every step of the way. Olia sailed through obstacles with ease and was resilient in getting back on track when needed. She took such great care of our paperwork and the whole process went smoothly because she made it easy both for us and for immigration. The preparation for the interview was incredible, even the immigration officer complemented us on how organized our file was. We really can't recommend Olia enough. There is no one else for immigration law in our book!

I had a great experience with OLIA! She was very efficient, detailed oriented and highly professional. I highly recommend her for anyone who is facing immigration issues. Now I am a citizen of USA thanks to OLIA CATALA!

I am so grateful for your passion, dedication, and professionalism. I've hired lawyers before, but you are truly the best I've ever worked with. Thank you so much! I can't tell you how much I appreciate the amazing legal work you did on my behalf.

I needed a lawyer to handle an immigration case for a family member. The case required submitting multiple USCIS, gathering supporting materials, medical examination, and so on. It might be a bit overwhelming for someone who has never done it, especially if one considers potential delays caused by simple typos or even mismatched info. I hired Olia Catala wih Catala Immigration, PLLC for helping with the case. From a start, Olia provided very clear and concise high level view of the process, overall timeline and roadmap. Instead of brute force help with filling in a dozen of USCIS forms that confusingly ask for the same info over and over, Olia compiled a questionnaire compiling all forms and eliminating duplicated entries. Guidance was provided for tricky things like identification and translation of (outside of US) place of grandparent birth, names, etc. This saved lots of time, effort, and mistake on my side if I decided to on my own. Then Olia prepared a package with all forms filled in from the questionnaire and we did a lengthy review to make sure everything was correct. Olia was very patient and answered all my and my family member questions. Such an approach did make us feel confident and in “good hands”. Further, Olia helped with all other required stuff that is outside of her lawyer expertise by providing references to other providers (e.g. medical examination, vaccination, etc.). Personally, I felt that we were a long pole because Olia was instantly replying to our emails and calls regardless if it happened outside of normal work hours or over weekend. I have to especially underscore how Olia was patient and respectful of my older family member who was obviously uneasy about the whole thing though Olia always would calm us down and give this warm and cozy feeling. Effectively, we had a ready to submit package under 3 weeks. Olia handled the package delivery to USCIS as well including making all necessary copying, documenting, and tracing. Olia explained what was supposed happened, in what order, and tentative timeline (at best her knowledge of course). Olia was tracking our case and routinely notifying us about the progress. We did not receive any request for clarification or questions on the package we submitted. Everything went smoothly and in surprisingly short time. Overall, we are satisfied and happy customers. I will not hesitate to greatly recommend Olia to a close friend or family.

Olia was amazing, she helped me get American citizenship . Her attention to all the details was fantastic, and made a potentially stressful process very smooth. I am soooo glad I found her. Highly recommend . Grant

My husband and I were referred to Olia by a friend. After consultations with her we decided to hire her for our case; it was one of the best decisions that we had ever made. She listened to our concerns and provided us with the facts we need. Today my case as been approved and we couldn't be more ecstatic. Thanks to Olia for always being there, as I can recall distinctively sending emails in the middle of the night thinking she would reply in the morning, but that wasn't the case, as she would respond immediately. We cannot thank her enough for all she has done.

Olia! She is very kind, and has a good heart. She work really hard to help me get my papers and citizenship! And I highly recommend that her services!

My husband and I worked with her on adjustment of status for me! She was so helpful with every single question we had about the Process! Her working method is very very organized and I believe that’s why our process took less than 5 months to be approved and done! We already recommended her to someone else close to us and we will definitely continue on doing so because her work is amazing!

We hired Olia to help us process our Marriage petition and green card .she did an amazing job and she is always around for consultation even past working hours and she is very resourceful and professional.
