About Natalia

I have the best job in the World. I help people to settle in the country where they want to live, not where they happened to be born. I am an immigration attorney and I enjoy every minute of it.

When not in my office, I enjoy exploring the World with my family, reading, and blogging.

You can find my legal blog in Russian at https://logofilka.com and my vlog with regular answers to the most current questions about immigration at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHVALuOETCQiBuLd8plUxQg?view_as=subscriber

Outstanding US Investor Visa and Work Visa Lawyer Natalia

Posted by

Natalia Polukhtin is my colleague in Immigration Law. Our practice is all about family law and humanitarian visas, while Natalia focuses on investor visas and green cards and work sponsorship visas and green cards. Natalia is outstanding in her field, she is the best. I call her whenever there is a potential situation for a work or investor petition that my clients have and she always responds with the best insightful advice. She knows how to win even in the most challenging situations and I love her Instagram video blog where she shares her wisdom and fun facts about US immigration law. I highly recommend Natalia Polukhtin as an immigration attorney.

Natalia steered us right after 7 attorneys steered us wrong

Posted by

We had a marriage based I-485 denial citing a documentation issue with the CBP. We consulted with 7 attorneys prior to consulting with and hiring Ms. Polukhtin. The former all advised us to start over filing a new case. After nearly 3 years waiting, we were to start all over again and face another possible 2 years to process, in addition to the significant expense of re-filing. Ms. Polukhtin advised us in a completely different strategy which resulted in USCIS re-opening the case, waiving their additional fees, and my wife receiving I-485 and "green card" approval ONE WEEK after hiring Ms. Polukhtin. We could not be more grateful and impressed with her professionalism, expertise, compassion and creativity with regard to her advice and solutions.

Natalia is a wonderful professional who knows her business in all details. All obligations were fulfilled impeccably and clearly on time. Throughout the long waiting period for decisions, we felt Natalya’s support and her willingness to resolve and answer all our questions and doubts. When collaborating with Natalia, we felt protected by the law and were confident in a positive result. And so it happened! Thank you Natasha for your help, support, understanding and sensitive guidance. Наталья прекрасный профессионал, знающий своё дело во всех подробностях. Все обязательства были выполнены безупречно и четко в срок. Весь долгий период ожидания решений мы чувствовали поддержку Натальи и ее готовность разрешить и ответить на все возникающие у нас вопросы и сомнения. Сотрудничая с Натальей мы чувствовали себя под защитой закона и были уверены в положительном результате. Так оно и получилось! Спасибо Наташа за Вашу помощь, поддержку, понимание и чуткое руководство.

Мы выиграли ГК в лотерее DV. Главным апликантом была я. Но наша радость была недолгой: уже после выигрыша мы узнали, что с судимостью, которая была у моего мужа, ему визу не получить. Стали читать форумы, смотреть видео иммиграционных адвокатов. Так узнали о Наталье. Решили проконсультироваться с ней. Наталья внимательно изучила кейс мужа и обнадежила нас: сказала, что есть шанс - статья экономическая, прошло 15 лет с момента совершения преступления. Наталья рассказала, что занимается такими делами. Иммиграционную визу можно будет получить, но вначале надо подать документы на вейвер (форма I-601). Наталья рассказала нам подробно весь процесс подготовки и подачи вейвера, сроки его рассмотрения, и возможные трудности, которые могут возникнуть. Натальей был составлен план подготовки документов. Мы постоянно находились в контакте с офисом Натальи. Нам советовали, какие документы необходимо подготовить. Работа была поставлена четко, быстро. Моральная поддержка Натальи и ее сотрудников также придавала сил и давала надежду на успех. И все получилось так, как и говорила Наталья. Получив отказ на интервью, через несколько дней Наталья подала от имени мужа документы на рассмотрение вейвера. Вейвер был рассмотрен и одобрен через 2!!! месяца, хотя нас предупреждали, что сроки рассмотрения могут затянуться. Наталья подавала прошение об ускоренном рассмотрении вейера. Документы об одобрении вейвера поступили в консульство и моему мужу была одобрена иммиграционная виза. Наша семья очень благодарна Наталье и ее сотрудникам за четкую, быструю и, главное, результативную работу! Мы готовы рекомендовать Наталью как иммиграционного адвоката всем, у кого кейсы похожи на наш.

Natalia is a gifted and committed lawyer who provided continuous support to my wife and I during the entire immigration process. Having her expertise along this journey was such a blessing and we are extremely grateful that we chose her to represent us. What had initially seemed like such an intimidating process later became a much more smooth and easy to follow procedure. Highly recommended!

Виза Е2

Posted by

Выбор иммиграционного адвоката очень - важный вопрос. Когда мне понадобилась виза Е2, я выбрал Наталью и ни разу не пожалел. Она оказалась профессионалом высокого класса. Наталья и ее помощница, в процессе подготовки моего кейса, были внимательны, позитивны и всегда находились на связи. В результате грамотно подготовленного кейса - успешное прохождение интервью и виза Е2 в паспорте. Хочу сказать спасибо Наталье и ее помощнице за прекрасно проделанную работу и порекомендовать ее тем, кто ищет хорошего иммиграционного адвоката.
