The Best Attorney We Could Have Chosen

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our attorney, Vitalii Maliuk, and his entire team. No family can truly prepare for the moment when they are forced to leave their home and start a new life in another country. When we arrived in the United States, we were not simply looking for an ...attorney—we were looking for someone who would honestly evaluate our case and be willing to fight for us without asking us to invent or exaggerate facts that were never true. Before meeting Vitalii Maliuk, we consulted with several immigration attorneys. Some of them suggested changing or adding details to our story. However, during our very first meeting, Vitalii honestly told us, "Your case is not the easiest or the strongest, but I believe it deserves to be fought for, and I'm ready to do that." At that moment, we knew we had found the right attorney. We would also like to mention something that meant a great deal to us. Vitalii Maliuk and his entire team are originally from Ukraine, while we are a family from Russia. Despite that, from the very first moment they treated us with respect, understanding, and without any prejudice. They chose to help us because what mattered to them was the truth, the law, and treating people with dignity. That gave us confidence that our honesty, our efforts, and our principles truly mattered. It reminded us that we were on the right path and that there are people who are willing to stand by those who genuinely need help, regardless of the country they come from. Throughout the entire process, we felt tremendous support not only from Vitalii Maliuk but from his whole team. We would especially like to thank his assistant, Kristina. She was always available, patiently answered all of our questions, helped us understand every step of the process, and never left us without guidance. Her kindness, professionalism, and constant support gave our family confidence and peace of mind during one of the most difficult periods of our lives. We have never regretted trusting you with our case. In fact, we have already recommended you to many of our friends and acquaintances, and we know that you help them with the same professionalism, compassion, and sincere commitment to achieving justice. From the bottom of our hearts, we wish Vitalii Maliuk, Kristina, and the entire team good health, happiness, continued professional success, and all the very best. Thank you for your honesty, your humanity, and your hard work. We will never forget everything you have done for our family. With our deepest respect and sincere gratitude, The Kolbasin Family

Outstanding Support Throughout Our EB-1 Journey

We are incredibly grateful to Arvian Law Firm for their professionalism, dedication, and outstanding support throughout our EB-1 case. From the very beginning, the entire team was always available to answer our questions and guide us through every step of the process. Whenever we had concerns, the...y responded quickly, scheduled consultations without delay, and even called us directly when something was urgent. Their communication made a stressful process much easier and gave us confidence that our case was in good hands. One of the most challenging moments was when we received an RFE. We were very worried and unsure about the outcome. However, the team carefully analyzed every detail of the request and prepared a thorough, well-organized, and highly persuasive response with strong supporting evidence. It was clear that they genuinely cared about our case and were committed to achieving the best possible result. Throughout the entire process, we felt supported, informed, and valued as clients. Their attention to detail, experience, and dedication truly set them apart. We highly recommend this law firm to anyone looking for knowledgeable, trustworthy, and responsive immigration attorneys. Thank you for your incredible work and for helping us through such an important journey!

We won our Asylum case!

I would like to thank Vitaliy and his team from the bottom of my heart. We won our asylum case at the USCIS interview stage. When we started this process, we could not have imagined that such an outcome was even possible! It turns out that when you put your heart into the process and work with someon...e who truly knows what they are doing, miracles can happen — even during the most challenging times in immigration. I would also like to point out that the entire process, from filing the application to receiving the approval, took only 8 months. I understand that this is probably more a matter of good fortune than a general trend, but it makes our joy and gratitude even greater. I also want to mention that while many attorneys kept insisting that Ukrainians had no grounds for asylum, Vitaliy’s team not only took on our case but also helped build an incredibly strong case. I highly recommend Vitaliy to anyone who wants the confidence of knowing that a true professional is standing behind them every step of the way. I especially recommend Arvian Group to Ukrainians: there are many people on the team who understand the unique circumstances and challenges we face, and that makes a tremendous difference. Thank you for helping make our greatest dream come true! We wish Vitaliy and his entire team continued success, prosperity, and many more victories!

They're wonderful professionals - we highly recommend them!

On behalf of our entire family, we want to express our deepest gratitude to the Arvian Law Firm team and personally to attorney Vitalii Maliuk for the brilliant victory in our asylum case! We filed our documents in December 2025, and by May 2026, we had already received full approval and our white c...ards in hand. Less than six months—such an incredible result would have been impossible without the tremendous work of Vitalii and the Arvian Law Firm office. A special thank you for the outstanding and incredibly detailed interview preparation. Thanks to your professionalism, we felt fully supported at every stage and walked into the interview with absolute confidence. Thank you for helping our family find safety so quickly and efficiently. You are true professionals!

Outstanding Support Throughout My EB-1A Green Card Journey

I had an excellent experience working with Vitalii Maliuk and the Arvin Law team on my EB-1A immigration case. From the very beginning, they demonstrated deep expertise, professionalism, and a clear understanding of the complex immigration process. The team guided me through every stage of prepari...ng and filing my I-140 petition, helping me present my achievements effectively and build a strong case. They were responsive, organized, and always willing to answer questions and explain the next steps. Thanks to their hard work and strategic guidance, my EB-1A petition was approved, and both my husband and I recently received our Green Cards. Throughout the process, I felt supported and confident that my case was in good hands. I highly recommend Vitalii and Arvin Law to anyone pursuing an employment-based immigration petition, especially EB-1A cases. Their knowledge, attention to detail, and commitment to their clients make them an outstanding immigration law firm.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I had the opportunity to connect with Vitalii through a professional discussion about a case in our field, and I appreciated both his responsiveness and the quality of his analysis. Vitalii’s case strategy was thoughtful and reflected a strong understanding of the issues involved. What especially stood out to me was his ability to think outside the box and make a bold argument that was both creative and well reasoned. Not every attorney is willing to take that approach, and I was genuinely impressed by how confidently and persuasively he developed his position. It was immediately clear to me that he is knowledgeable, analytical, and able to navigate complex issues effectively. It was genuinely a pleasure to interact with him as a colleague, and I am happy to speak highly of him as an attorney. Vitalii is professional, insightful, and clearly dedicated to what he does."
