Best choice! My husband and I had the smoothest and easiest green card process imaginable. Thank you Katya, Jelena, Vanessa and team for always being there, providing expert advice and doing so at the best price. Looking forward to taking the next steps together. We got approved 9 months later!

I had the pleasure of working with Katya Stelmakh to obtain my O1 visa, and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and expertise. From the beginning, she guided me through the entire process with exceptional clarity and dedication. Her knowledge of the O1 visa requirements is truly impressive, and they ensured that every step was handled with precision. What stood out the most was her personalized approach. She and her team took the time to understand my situation and provided tailored advice that made all the difference in my case. Communication was smooth, and they were readily available to answer any questions or concerns I had along the way. Thanks to Stelmakh & Associates, the visa process was successful. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking assistance with an O1 visa or any other immigration needs!

Stelmakh & Associates have been an invaluable partner in securing my O1A and O1A extension. As the CEO of Cadana, my role demands continuous travel and legal compliance across multiple regions, making the need for reliable immigration support critical. Initially, I approached Stelmakh & Associates with the complex problem of securing an O1A visa amidst a tight schedule and high expectations. Their stellar reputation and expertise in immigration law made them the obvious choice. The team at Stelmakh & Associates worked diligently on my case, providing thorough guidance and handling all the intricate paperwork with precision. They were always available to answer my questions and provided regular updates, making the entire process transparent and stress-free. Thanks to their exceptional service, I received my I-129 approval swiftly, allowing me to continue my leadership at Cadana without any disruptions. Their ability to deliver results under pressure truly sets them apart from other law firms. I highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates to anyone seeking expert immigration services. Their dedication and proficiency are unmatched, and they have my utmost gratitude for their outstanding work.

Katya and her team are exceptional! I was on H1B visa looking for a way to start by own business. During consultation, Katya answered all my questions and gave me an overview on how I should approach my O1A petition strategy. Her team, Kelsie and Kimberly were very helpful throughout the petition preparation process. They answered all my dumb questions patiently. Everyone communicated in simple words making it easy for me to understand. They were incredibly responsive to all communication. As a result of their excellent work, my visa petition is a success. I highly recommend Katya and her team for your immigration needs!

I had an amazing experience working with Stelmakh Law Firm on my O1 visa application. I highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates to anyone considering an O1 visa. After evaluating several law firms, I chose Stelmakh & Associates. From my first introductory call with Katya Stelmakh, I felt confident that their team knew exactly what they were doing and could guide me through every step of the process to create a compelling petition. Coming from a non-traditional background, it was crucial for me to work with a knowledgeable law firm, and I didn’t want to leave anything to chance. I needed guidance on various aspects of the application and how to navigate challenges. Once we began working together, the Stelmakh team, consisting of three members, was incredibly supportive and responsive to all my questions. They did an excellent job of organizing my petition in a clear and structured manner. They also connected me with relevant parties for different elements of the application, such as PR and publishing firms and a business case building firm. The team provided creative ideas and guidance on a range of topics, such as applying for memberships, publishing articles, leveraging work examples, and identifying the right recommenders for a strong application. They even helped draft letters based on my inputs, which sped up the signing process for my recommenders. The team is meticulous about the language used in the letters and petition, which increases the probability of success. One aspect I particularly appreciated was the timing. The Stelmakh team turned around my entire application in just eight weeks. While I had to stay on top of my tasks, the Stelmakh team also pushed hard to build a strong O1 petition for me. This was crucial as I had left my job and only had 3-4 months in the US before I would have had to leave the country. Other firms I spoke with estimated 3-5 months to complete and submit an application. While their fees might be slightly higher, the quality of service and expertise they provide make it a worthwhile investment in the grand scheme of things. The support and guidance from their team significantly reduce stress and ensure a timely and well-organized application process. Overall, I highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates for anyone applying for an O1 visa petition.

I highly recommend this immigration attorney to anyone looking for a reliable and professional specialist in this field.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Stelmakh and Associates again, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Initially, we faced the challenge of navigating the complex visa application process for a crucial hire at our startup. Given our previous positive experience with Stelmakh and Associates on a similar matter, choosing them again was a no-brainer. Once again, Katya and her exceptional team stepped up to the plate and handled our visa application with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. They guided us through every step, ensuring that all our documents were in order and addressing any concerns we had promptly. Their dedication to going above and beyond is truly commendable. Thanks to their expertise and diligent work, we achieved a successful visa application with remarkably fast results and at an affordable price.

I highly recommend working with Katya and her team at Stelmakh and Associates. Their commitment to excellence and client satisfaction is unmatched. Thank you for making this process smooth and successful once again!

I received a job offer from a large, established financial technology company in the US but did not win the lottery for an H1B visa. I had two options: wait another year or apply for an O-1 visa, trying to leverage extraordinary skills and abilities. Wanting to begin working in the US quicker, I chose to pursue the O-1 route. After conducting quick research on several law firms offering support services for O-1 petition preparation, I found that most were not very enthusiastic and seemed hesitant about my ambition, citing that O-1 visas are typically for academic representatives. However, with a background in strategy consulting and business development, I knew my petition would need to focus on these fields to demonstrate extraordinary achievements and abilities. Eventually, I was recommended by another immigration lawyer from Europe to Katya Stelmakh, who was known for her deep expertise in O-1 and similar immigration cases. Katya and her team worked tirelessly, developing a comprehensive petition for an employer-sponsored O-1 visa in the field of strategy and business development. This petition was approved, allowing me to relocate with my family to the US and commence employment with the US company. Subsequently, Katya assisted in developing all necessary documents and applying for an EB2-NIW immigration visa, which was also approved based on meticulously gathered documentation. In the next phase, with Katya's guidance, I successfully changed jobs while in the US and established my own consulting company. Katya also facilitated the reapplication for an O-1 visa as a small business owner. Katya's assistance was invaluable, as she helped me navigate immigration questions in the US on three separate occasions and find a path to launching my own business. I am deeply grateful for her and her team's professional advice, commitment, rigor, and the quality of the developed documentation. Most importantly, I am grateful for the successful results in each endeavor. I wholeheartedly recommend Katya Stelmakh as an immigration attorney, especially for sophisticated cases.

I filed EB2 visa petition with Katya and had a great experience with the level of professionalism she presented. I am very pleased with her exceptional services provided along her great team. She is very professional, on the point and active firm in responses as fast as same day. The firm exactly knew how to make a strong case with convincing evidence to argue the case and RFE. The end result was a victory of EB2 approval. Nothing can go wrong with this firm. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I went with Stelmakh & Associates for my O1 visa filing. I have known Katya since the past two years and had heard amazing things about her. Upon our first interaction she was very optimistic about my case and I see her present the case in very robust manner when we discussed it. This made me believe they would be the best form for my case. Working with them was better than I hoped for. They are on top of everything and are very timely and professional. O1 is a lot of documentation and I loved how the team was always there to keep you on time and support you to the best of their abilities. They paid attention to every small detail. I cannot recommend a better firm than them for your visa filing.

Katya is super knowledgeable and she answers all the questions in as much depth as possible. During my first meeting with her, when she first told me that I should get my O1 approved without much hiccups, it made a big difference to my morale. At this point, I had already met many other immigration teams but no one gave me the sense that this is actually doable. Her confidence helped me go through the arduous process with minimal stress. Her optimism which is rightfully rooted in her expertise was such a pillar of support for me. These are the things that might get generally overlooked when working with an immigration team but to have an immigration team that not only delivers but also is a net-positive to your mental health especially when you're dealing with a tough life-changing process like O1, EB1-A, H1-B, etc.. makes such a huge difference. Katya's work is very thorough and detailed. I have worked with immigration teams both at Google, Apple and the likes and I have to say that working with Katya definitely tops the list of effective + pleasant immigration support experiences. For anyone looking to hire an immigration team to work on their O1 VISA, I'd highly recommend Katya and her team. I have made countless recommendations already and I'd recommend working with her to anyone who needs immigration support!

Katya has been a great help for our family. Very professional and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.
