Got O1A case approval within one week of submission. I worked with Katya Stelmakh on my O1A petition in the field of Tech Entrepreneurship. Katya and her team prepared about 400+ pages of the case and backed each statement with detailed evidence and explanations. I was impressed with their level of involvement and deep understanding of each detail in my case. I appreciate Katya's professionalism and responsiveness. We had several thorough discussions of the case, and while I was collecting evidence for the case and getting ready for the visa interview she was always there to guide the process. Katya showed herself as an outstanding professional, and I highly recommended her services to anyone needing an immigration attorney.

I typically don’t write online reviews, just not my style! But sometimes, you have to. As far as I recall, this is the third one that I’m writing in my life! Most likely, you would like to know why, right? Well, I’m a data person; so, I’ll go by number and real evidence. Here is one example that I can share: I have just exported one of the email threads with Katya and Kimberly to MS Word with not a big font but Aerial 9.5, and then counted number of lines! More than 100 lines just regarding some extra future related questions that had nothing to do with my main case with them and that was not the only thread of such a nature! I did not hear, “ooh,… yeah… you know… this is beyond our agreed…”. I’m not saying go misuse their time; I’m just saying how supportive they are by just one example. It has been an honor to have Katya and Kimberly as my immigration attorneys. I had a complex case of dual employers, while for one of them, my own startup, I had an O1A. Basically, my new case was a concurrent O1A in addition to my startup O1A, where the new one was sponsored by a large research university. A very tight schedule and a lot of stress; however, the only part of the process that was smooth and stressless was knowing that 2 attorneys are taking care of the immigration maze precisely and that’s exactly what they did. Many thanks, Katya and Kimberly for all the support! I will never forget how responsive and supporting you were.

Katya and Ryan are one of the best when it comes to Non-Immigrant Visas. They worked on my O-1A case with thorough and diligent attention, and were able to help me and my wife obtain our Visas. Ryan, who primarily worked on our application was available at all times whenever we needed to discuss a minor issue. The timelines committed to us were always respected and the right effort was put in to align expectations. Extremely professional. Not just that, but Stelmakh Law was able to help identify the right US consulates where we could get our stamping appointments. This was extremely challenging considering US embassies in (almost) all countries were providing appointments to only citizens of their respective countries and there were multiple travel restrictions in place due to CoVID-19. Although my local team was doing most of the leg work, Katya was always keen to humbly learn from our research so it could benefit her other clients, which I very much appreciate.

My wife and I used the services of Katya and her team for our AOS. We were continually impressed with the team's level of support and professionalism. Our situation was more complicated than usual and Katya held our hands throughout the process. Katya herself is a brilliant lawyer, but what distinguishes her more in our minds is the fact that she understands how stressful the immigration process is and cares about her clients. Quite often Katya and her team went over and above the call of duty even answering our questions on weekends. We felt we had an elder sister by our side helping us navigate our situation. We recommend Katya's services very strongly to anyone wanting to go through the US immigration process! Thank you Katya and team!

Katya and team helped us with our Green Cards converting our status from non immigrants to immigrants. Katya is professional, patience and will help to walk you into the entire process which could be long and sometimes frustrating… I highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates!

Katya and her team are amazing. Always available and quick to respond. Is an immigrant herself and is very empathetic to the situation of immigrants. She personally takes calls to answer any and all questions about the immigration process. You can't go wrong with this team!

I called Mr. Hall to see if I needed representation and he honestly told me to not waste my money. It's so helpful to find out from a quick call what to do next, and Mr. Hall left me with a clear understanding and a path forward. If you need someone who answers the phone AND provides honest legal advice Mr. Hall is where you should start.

Great food. Always a little wait longer than most places but worth it. Omelettes are huge and on point .

Katya is the Best Immigration attorney you could get, She and Kimberly helped me with my O1 petition and the support i got from them during the prep of my petition was outstanding and i was amazed with how detailed and precise my petition was created, that I got it approved within 2 weeks and that too without an RFE. Katya is highly knowledgeable in both immigrant and non immigrant visa and she and her team are highly responsive and supportive. I highly recommend them!!

Katya was very diligent, detail-oriented throughout my immigration application processes. She's also responsive, getting back with clarifying responses in a short span of time.

Highly efficient and professional law firm! They patiently led the entire process from application development through obtaining approvals. More importantly they delivered on results within relatively short period. I will highly recommend working with Stelmakh and Associates! From my family and myself: Thank you Katya!

Green Card / Permanent Residency Petition - EB1A and AOS I have hired Katya to help with the current filling of my EB1A Petition and AOS for myself and my family, and I am truly amazed by her knowledge & expertise, attention to detail, and step-by-step guidance throughout the process. She is very responsive and extended her support even after filing and approving the petition. for instance, I had to request an emergency advance parole for my wife to attend a family emergency and Katya & her team's services and support are above and beyond. I will highly recommend her for any related immigration services!
