Katya Stelmakh

I cannot recommend this law firm enough for their exceptional expertise in EB1A cases. Initially, I was hesitant about pursuing EB1A since my work was primarily within a large corporation without much public visibility. However, their track record with similar profiles gave me confidence to proceed. ... The team demonstrated remarkable skill in presenting my case, highlighting the important aspects of my contributions that I hadn't even considered significant. Their thorough approach and attention to detail made a huge difference in building a compelling case. What truly sets them apart is their ability to understand and effectively present corporate accomplishments in a way that meets EB1A criteria. Given the significant backlog in EB2 categories, successfully obtaining EB1A approval has provided invaluable peace of mind for my future.

I’m truly grateful to the entire team at Stelmakh & Associates for their exceptional work on my EB-1A application, which was approved in one shot! When I first came to Stelmakh, I wasn’t knowledgeable about visa categories like EB-1A or EB NIW. Katya and Karen (my primary attorney) patiently guide...d me through the options, helped me decide on the best category for my case, and walked me through every step of the process. Both of their expertise, strategic approach, and deep experience with EB-1A cases — backed by the firm’s high success rate — gave me the confidence I needed during this journey. I also want to sincerely thank the senior attorneys for their outstanding work in drafting a strong and compelling petition. A big thank you as well to Sanjana, Abel, and Jhanier for their guidance, responsiveness, and support along the way. Finding the right lawyer at the right time made all the difference for me, and I’m so glad I entrusted my case to this incredible team.

I'm extremely thankful to Katya Stelmakh and her outstanding team at Stelmakh Law for their professional guidance and support in preparing and filing my O-1 talent visa petition. Katya developed a clear and effective strategy from day one, immediately putting my mind at ease and instilling confidence... in a positive outcome. Her expertise and attentive approach made all the difference—and my case was successfully approved! I highly recommend Katya Stelmakh to anyone seeking a reliable and results-oriented immigration attorney.

am delighted to share that my EB1A petition has been approved. Many thanks to Katya and the entire team. Sanjana deserves special recognition for her hard work and attention to detail in compiling the petition and accompanying documentation. Thank you to Vanessa, Darya, and Jhanier for the support. ...Finally, Katya, thank you for making recommendations and structuring everything. Your suggestions and guidance are really useful and insightful. I would not be here without your constant support. The team helped me present my work in product strategy, analytics, and healthcare data transformation clearly and compellingly. I especially appreciated the thoughtful approach to highlight my leadership, publications, and broader impact in the field. The process was methodical, and the support throughout made a real difference. If you are considering filing an EB1A petition, I highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates

When I first started exploring the EB-1A process, I wasn’t sure how to frame my work in mortgage market analytics into something that would meet the immigration criteria. My cousin recommended Stelmakh & Associates, and I’m so glad I followed through. Katya and Maddalena took the time to understan...d what I’ve done professionally and how to translate it into a petition that aligned with USCIS expectations. They helped present my leadership role, original modeling work, judging contributions, and media features (like coverage in The Washington Post) in a way that clearly showed the impact and significance of my work. The process was thorough and involved a lot of back-and-forth, but they knew where to provide additional evidence to strengthen my case. In April 2025, my EB-1A petition was approved. That moment brought an enormous sense of relief and validation. I’m grateful to the team for guiding me through something that would have been impossible to manage independently. I will highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates.
