Thank you dear Arvian Kaw

My family and I had an excellent experience with Arvian Law throughout our entire immigration journey, from our EB-1A petition to the approval of our I-485 applications. Our case became very challenging after we received a NOID, but Attorney Vitalii Maliuk and his team prepared an outstanding respons...e that led to the approval of all our cases. I highly recommend Arvian Law to anyone looking for an immigration law firm they can truly trust.

Unresponsive and poor communication throughout

I engaged Arvian Law, specifically Yuliia Alekseeva and Maksym Chernenko, for an H-1B employer transfer. The experience was exceptionally poor. Communication was unreliable throughout the process, with long periods of silence and ignored follow-ups. When the case concluded with an unfavorable outcome..., I requested basic documentation and receipts for my records. Despite multiple attempts over several weeks, I received no response. I would not recommend this firm to anyone navigating an immigration matter. Update (July 2026): After posting this review, the firm reached out offering to "make things right." Their idea of making things right was a partial refund conditioned on removing the review. Notably, it did not include sending the receipts I had been requesting for over a month. They promised to call back the following week to discuss. They never called. Twelve days later, and only after I followed up, they resurfaced with a 50% refund offer, again in exchange for taking the review down. I still have not received the receipts I originally requested. The pattern is clear: this firm does not communicate unless there is a public review to suppress. If they offered me a refund to remove my review, ask yourself how many others took the deal. Read the positive reviews accordingly.

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!

Political asylum

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Vitaliy Malyuk and his entire team for their professionalism, responsiveness, dedication, and caring attitude toward their clients. I have been working with Vitaliy and his team for the past two years, and on May 18, 2026, we won my political asylum ...case. Throughout this journey, they demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, patience, support, and genuine commitment to my case. I am truly grateful for all the hard work and help they provided. In the future, for any legal matters, I will continue turning to this company with great trust and confidence.

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."
