EB1A I-140 Approval

Thanks to Katya, Marina, and everyone involved for their help with my EB1-A I-140 approval. I learned about Stelmakh & Associates from one of my colleagues, and after reading all the reviews, I never considered any other firms — I decided to work with them earlier this year. In the initial stages,... it took a few weeks to get the process started, but once a paralegal was assigned, they responded quickly and addressed all my feedback promptly. Katya quickly identified the strengths of my profile and how my existing evidences undoubtedly met the EB1-A criteria. Once everything was finalized, Marina put together a strong case within 2–3 months. I received an RFE, which was disappointing, but Katya took the time to thoroughly discuss each point and explain why my case remained strong. Marina then prepared an even stronger RFE response, and it was eventually approved. I am truly grateful for Katya and her entire team. If you are looking for a lawyer for your immigration needs, I would highly recommend reaching out to Katya.

Positive experience

Katya and her team did a truly outstanding job on my EB1A case. I could not have asked for a more professional and dedicated experience. A special mention to Maddalena, who managed my case with incredible attention to detail and care, and to Samriddhi, who seamlessly handled the process like a pro.... I’m deeply appreciative of everyone’s support and guidance throughout this journey. Thank you again for all your help!

Excellent EB1A Expertise - recommend for Corporate Professionals

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.

O1-A visa petition

I worked with Diego and the team at Stelmakh & Associates on my O-1A visa petition, and the experience was excellent. While the process took a little time to get going, once underway, the quality of the work and the level of commitment were outstanding. Diego was exceptional—efficient, knowledgeab...le, and clearly invested in the success of the petition. He worked diligently to build a strong case, crafting a persuasive narrative that aligned my credentials perfectly with the job description. His attention to detail and strategic insight significantly strengthened the petition. Despite a slow start, everything was completed and submitted within our original timeline—and the petition was ultimately approved. I’m very pleased with the outcome and would confidently recommend Diego and his team to anyone pursuing an O-1 visa.

EB1A approval

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.
