Vladimir Galstyan

In June 2015 I applied for an O-1 visa under premium processing as a fine arts photographer through an immigration law firm in New York that was denied in November 2015 after our lawyer responded to a lengthy RFE. We were referred to another immigration law firm in New Jersey who filed a new O-1 a...pplication in December 2015. As in the first case, USCIS sent an 11 page long request for evidence challenging the entire application. Our new lawyer gave up on the case and said we should give up and file a new case which meant another $1225+$325 in filing fees alone. Fearing a second denial we consulted other immigration lawyers most of whom suggested we file a new case or give up. We then found Vladimir Galstyan and his firm who after reviewing the first denial and the second lengthy RFE suggested his legal strategy to respond to the 11 pages RFE. Going that route we didn’t have to re-file a new application as suggested by other immigration lawyers. Vladimir Galstyan, took our case, filed an entirely new case in response to the 2nd RFE and my case was approved. Having worked with 3 immigration law firms I highly recommend this lawyer and his firm. My case is a clear indication of Vlad’s experience with O-1 visas. He always answered my email promptly and explained well even if that is a stupid question. Also, most important thing as an immigrant lawyer, he knows what he is doing. REALLY. Believe me. I hired 3 immigrant lawyers for just O-1 visa. I got one denial and one 11 pages RFE and then met Vladimir. I know what I’m doing. I truly believe nobody can be better than Vladimir Galstyan.

After creating my portfolio, I was about to move forward with my initial lawyer for my 01 Visa. I then got an email saying that now was a difficult time for people to get their 01 Visa and some were starting to be declined. This was not the person I wanted to represent my case. I was referred to... Vladimir by a friend who had a wonderful experience with him. I gave him a call, and he was very clear that he wanted to take cases he knew he could win. He was smart and knowledgeable so I left my portfolio with him to look over and get back to me. He read it over and thought I had a strong case and outlined what I needed to provide to him in addition to my portfolio. Vladimir was always quick to respond to phone calls and emails, and I could tell he was doing the work. He was not the type of person to offload important steps to other members of the firm. I submitted my case and when it came back as needing more evidence he was very clear to me this was a common practice. We added additional press and I got additional letters supporting my abilities from more colleagues and industry. I got the approval call from Vladimir last week and met him today to get my paperwork. I would gladly recommend Vladimir to friends and peers, and let you know that almost everyone I have spoken to has gotten a request for more evidence and it is nothing to worry about. You just need to stay positive and follow the steps Vladimir lays out. I know that Vladimir was as happy I got my visa as I was, you can tell when someone cares about what they do and who they work with.

I was looking for immigration lawyer and found Vladimir. I am a Canadian looking for US work visa. It's a blessing I found him. He put everything together in couple weeks. 55 days went by between our first phone call and the email from USCIS saying my visa was approved. He is knowledgeable, effic...ient, available for emails or phone conversations. I definitely recommend him!

Last year, I was looking for a lawyer who specializes in extending O-1 visas. I found Vladimir through the web and sent an inquiry. Shortly, I received a phone call. We talked, I had many questions about extending O-1 visas and he answered them promptly. I called him a week later to set up a consulta...tion. When we met Vladimir, we felt very comfortable. He brings a lot of knowledge of experience to the table. He immediately started on our case right away to ensure we can extend before the visa expired. Weeks later, he called and let me know that he successfully extended the O-1 visa for 3 years. He is a true professional and rockstar in my eyes. I'd like to also mention that he's very responsive. I've been recommending him to my friends. Thanks Vladimir!!
