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 a 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.

We reached out to Stelmakh & Associates for assistance in preparing documents to change my status from a student in the USA to the spouse of a US resident and to obtain the corresponding paperwork. Stelmakh & Associates was recommended to us by a mutual friend. The staff at the company were prompt in answering all our questions, stayed in touch throughout the process, and completed the work in accordance with all immigration service requirements. There were no conflicts, misunderstandings, or delays from the company's side. The entire collaboration process was well-planned and executed precisely. We received all documents in full and on time as expected. There were no surprises, hidden fees, or delays. I highly recommend turning to Stelmakh & Associates if you're seeking a legal firm that provides specificity, accurate pricing, peace of mind, and predictable outcomes without any surprises.

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. This success has had a significant impact on our business, allowing us to bring a super talented engineer on board, which is crucial for our growth and innovation. 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!

It’s a pleasure to work with this firm

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 firm 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.

Хочу поделиться радостной новостью об одобрении моей петиции на визу O-1B в областе социальных медиа и создания контента. Мне казалось, что получить визу талантов видеоблогеру будет непросто, но благодаря профессионализму Кати Стельмах и ее команды все прошло гладко. Команда Кати подготовила убедительную петицию, выделив ключевые доказательства моих достижений: Главным доказательством моего успеха была YouTube Creator Award Декларации по налогам подтвердили легитимность моей деятельности. Рекомендательные письма от представителей индустрии говорили о моем таланте и влиянии. Статьи в СМИ о моём блоге дали внешнее подтверждение моего успеха. Их подрядчики разработали качественный бизнес-план для моего нового американского проекта. Мое профессиональное резюме было представлено эффективно. Правительство прислало аж два Запроса о Дополнительной Информации, и на оба адвокаты ответили успешно, не взяли дополнительной платы и добились одобрения. Профессионализм и стратегический подход Stelmakh & Associates сыграли ключевую роль в получении моей визы. Я рекомендую их всем, кто ищет помощи в иммиграционных вопросах.

***An immigration team that not only delivers but is also a net-positive to your mental health*** 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!

I tried to book the consultation after reading some reviews. But, they charge 600 to even listen in your first sitting. Even the expensive law firms don’t charge this amount for the first meeting. Like many other businesses in Seattle, they are also gold diggers and charge as crazy as they can. The service is fine. You can get the same service in a much cheaper price even in Bay Area. Whoever is reading this comment, do ask about their prices. They are crazier than anyone else in the market

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

Stelmakh & Associates have been an essential partner in our entrepreneurial journey at Flavor AI. From the initial consultations to the meticulous preparation of documentation, Katya and her team navigated the complexities of the U.S. immigration law with precision and efficiency. I successfully got my H1B visa approved in Sept 2023 and my cofounder Ram got his O1A visa approved in Nov 2023. The fact that not only did they get our visa applications approved but also made sure to accomodate our various other constraints including travel plans and the myriad of immigrated related laws that needed to be navigated, stands as testament to their expertise and dedication. We are particularly grateful for the personalized approach taken by the team including understanding the nuances of our professional and personal situation as well as a deep understanding of the needs of our startup. Their understanding of the needs of our business and the tech industry was evident in every step of the process. The team not only secured our immigration statuses but also contributed significantly to our company's growth by ensuring we have the right talent in place. We highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates to fellow entrepreneurs. Their expertise, commitment, and personalized approach make them an invaluable asset. Thank you to the entire team including Katya, Jelena, Arvin, Vanessa and Olya!
