Katya Stelmakh

Had a really good experience working with Stelmakh & Associates for my EB1A petition. What I appreciated most was that they didn’t just collect documents and file the case — they actually worked with me on how to make my application stronger. They gave honest and practical feedback on what to incl...ude, what to leave out, and how to present my achievements in the best way. That kind of guidance really matters for EB1A. The process definitely takes time and effort, but once you have a strong profile, having an experienced team helps a lot in moving things forward smoothly. My case got approved without any RFE, which was a huge relief. Would definitely recommend Stelmakh & Associates to anyone applying for EB1A.

Before finding Katya and her team, I had been working with another attorney who essentially put my case on hold. Months passed, nothing moved, and I was left searching for someone who would actually do the work. A friend who had their EB-1A approved through Stelmakh & Associates referred me to them.... I have been waiting for this day for a long time: my I-140 is approved! This achievement would not have been possible without Katya's leadership, Jessica’s well-thought-out draft, and Sam’s efficient oversight. This is a lifetime milestone for my family and me, and we are extremely grateful to you and your entire team. While client-attorney relationships can often feel transactional, this team's dedication has been a true blessing for us. If you are a data science or technology professional considering EB-1A and want a team that will truly show up for you, you just found them.

I came to Stelmakh & Associates after a frustrating experience with another immigration firm. Despite paying $10,000 and being promised hands-on support I received almost nothing in return. Weeks would pass without a response. As someone with an H-1B expiring and big plans ahead, that kind of uncerta...inty was simply not acceptable. From my very first consultation with Katya, the difference was immediately clear. My profile is strong — 18 years of experience in technology, a senior position, a patent, 7 published research articles, a book in progress, peer-reviewed work, and memberships. But having a strong profile and having it presented compellingly in an EB-1A petition are two very different things. The team at Stelmakh & Associates helped me build and articulate a case across the criteria that mattered most. Where certain criteria needed strengthening, they worked with me proactively. What I valued most, beyond the legal expertise, was the responsiveness and structure. My EB-1A was approved. If you are a skilled professional who deserves extraordinary ability recognition and wants a team that will truly show up for you, look no further.

We turned to Stelmakh & Associates LLC by recommendation, and it was the best decision we could have made. Over the past three years, we have navigated a long journey together, resulting in multiple approved cases: my husband’s O-1 extraordinary ability visa, my O-3 dependent visa, followed by our EB...-1 approval, and finally, our Green Cards. It has been an eventful adventure. Over these years, global political shifts and changes in immigration policy added complexity to the process. However, the team’s professionalism kept us moving steadily toward our goal. Even when the consulate unexpectedly lost our medical exams and some documents, the firm handled it with resilience and guided us through every hurdle. Our experience proves that Stelmakh & Associates doesn't just deliver a single success; they demonstrate consistent results and a steadfast commitment through multiple approved petitions. This speaks volumes about their unwavering expertise. We express our deepest gratitude to Katya Stelmakh and every staff member who contributed to our case. With great respect and warmth, we highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates LLC to anyone seeking top-tier immigration legal support. You are in great hands!
