Katya Stelmakh

I am deeply grateful to Katya and her team at Stelmakh & Associates for their support and professionalism throughout my NIW petition process. Katya took the time to carefully assess my strengths and offered invaluable guidance in building a strong and compelling petition. I truly couldn’t have don...e it without her help. She and her team were always responsive to my questions and consistently produced high-quality documents. There was a minor delay in filing due to some staffing shortages, which coincided with the holiday season. Hopefully, that was a one-off issue. Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the end—my NIW petition was approved, and I sincerely appreciate the team’s dedication and effort. If you're looking for a professional, approachable, and committed team that genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates.

Going through the EB-1A process felt overwhelming at first. I knew I had significant accomplishments in my field, but organizing everything into a legal case was challenging. I’m glad I chose to work with Katya and her team. They took the time to understand my work and mapped out a clear strategy ...that brought out the full depth of my experience and contributions. From my enterprise software systems for the public sector to my academic publications and peer review work, they helped shape every piece of evidence into a persuasive petition. What stood out to me was how they connected my work's technical aspects—whether in blockchain, machine learning, or government software systems—to its broader value and significance. My petition was approved! I continue growing in the U.S. and contributing to technology that makes a difference. If you’re looking for a firm that takes your career seriously and knows how to present it with precision and care, Stelmakh & Associates is an excellent partner in the immigration process.

As a Senior Staff Software Engineer specializing in IoT, distributed systems, and cloud computing, I knew I had a strong technical background, but I wasn’t sure how to structure reasonable arguments for EB-1A approval. Katya and her team provided clear guidance highlighting my leadership in the field..., my impact at my current and previous employers, and my contributions to major industry advancements. Despite the thorough initial filing, we received an RFE, which was a very stressful moment. However, the legal team was incredibly proactive: they addressed USCIS’s concerns by strengthening the evidence around my original contributions and my recognition in my field. Their expertise and structured approach turned what could have been a setback into a successful approval. They didn’t charge extra to respond to the RFE. Thanks to the Stelmakh & Associates team's hard work, my EB-1A was approved. I highly recommend Katya and her team to anyone pursuing an EB-1A or other complex immigration case. They are knowledgeable and strategic and genuinely invested in their clients’ success.

I’m grateful to Katya and the amazing team at Stelmakh & Associates for securing my EB2 NIW approval. Their expertise is evident in the way they tailor each petition to fit the client’s unique needs, rather than relying on a generic template. Throughout the process, I had a dedicated team of lawye...rs guiding me every step of the way, making the experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates to anyone seeking professional and personalized immigration support.

I wanted to get my O1 visa and Katya showed incredible confidence and speed in helping me build my application. I chose Katya because she was the one who answered all my questions patiently and I felt she had a lot of experience throughout the years to closely understand the immigration process a...nd various profiles of people coming from different backgrounds. Her team felt honest, reliable, and trustworthy. Katya and her colleague Maddalena not only suggested parameters to build my O1 profile but spent a lot of time painstakingly reviewing every nook and corner of it to make sure the evidence is watertight for my case. She compiled the most extensive petition allowing no room of doubt to the USCIS that I was a worthy O1 candidate - consequently she got my visa approved in the first go without any hassle. I am a startup founder and this has a huge impact on my company's roadmap, allowing me to access the US market, raise funds, and hire top talent extremely quickly. Made me extremely happy to hear the amazing news!
