I had an amazing experience working with Stelmakh Law Firm on my O1 visa application. I highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates to anyone considering an O1 visa. After evaluating several law firms, I chose Stelmakh & Associates. From my first introductory call with Katya Stelmakh, I felt confident tha...t their team knew exactly what they were doing and could guide me through every step of the process to create a compelling petition. Coming from a non-traditional background, it was crucial for me to work with a knowledgeable law firm, and I didn’t want to leave anything to chance. I needed guidance on various aspects of the application and how to navigate challenges. Once we began working together, the Stelmakh team, consisting of three members, was incredibly supportive and responsive to all my questions. They did an excellent job of organizing my petition in a clear and structured manner. They also connected me with relevant parties for different elements of the application, such as PR and publishing firms and a business case building firm. The team provided creative ideas and guidance on a range of topics, such as applying for memberships, publishing articles, leveraging work examples, and identifying the right recommenders for a strong application. They even helped draft letters based on my inputs, which sped up the signing process for my recommenders. The team is meticulous about the language used in the letters and petition, which increases the probability of success. One aspect I particularly appreciated was the timing. The Stelmakh team turned around my entire application in just eight weeks. While I had to stay on top of my tasks, the Stelmakh team also pushed hard to build a strong O1 petition for me. This was crucial as I had left my job and only had 3-4 months in the US before I would have had to leave the country. Other firms I spoke with estimated 3-5 months to complete and submit an application. While their fees might be slightly higher, the quality of service and expertise they provide make it a worthwhile investment in the grand scheme of things. The support and guidance from their team significantly reduce stress and ensure a timely and well-organized application process. Overall, I highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates for anyone applying for an O1 visa petition.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Stelmakh and Associates again, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Initially, we faced the challenge of navigating the complex visa application process for a crucial hire at our startup. Given our previous positive experience with Stelmakh... and Associates on a similar matter, choosing them again was a no-brainer. Once again, Katya and her exceptional team stepped up to the plate and handled our visa application with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. They guided us through every step, ensuring that all our documents were in order and addressing any concerns we had promptly. Their dedication to going above and beyond is truly commendable. Thanks to their expertise and diligent work, we achieved a successful visa application with remarkably fast results and at an affordable price. This success has had a significant impact on our business, allowing us to bring a super talented engineer on board, which is crucial for our growth and innovation. I highly recommend working with Katya and her team at Stelmakh and Associates. Their commitment to excellence and client satisfaction is unmatched. Thank you for making this process smooth and successful once again!

I received a job offer from a large, established financial technology company in the US but did not win the lottery for an H1B visa. I had two options: wait another year or apply for an O-1 visa, trying to leverage extraordinary skills and abilities. Wanting to begin working in the US quicker, I cho...se to pursue the O-1 route. After conducting quick research on several law firms offering support services for O-1 petition preparation, I found that most were not very enthusiastic and seemed hesitant about my ambition, citing that O-1 visas are typically for academic representatives. However, with a background in strategy consulting and business development, I knew my petition would need to focus on these fields to demonstrate extraordinary achievements and abilities. Eventually, I was recommended by another immigration lawyer from Europe to Katya Stelmakh, who was known for her deep expertise in O-1 and similar immigration cases. Katya and her team worked tirelessly, developing a comprehensive petition for an employer-sponsored O-1 visa in the field of strategy and business development. This petition was approved, allowing me to relocate with my family to the US and commence employment with the US company. Subsequently, Katya assisted in developing all necessary documents and applying for an EB2-NIW immigration visa, which was also approved based on meticulously gathered documentation. In the next phase, with Katya's guidance, I successfully changed jobs while in the US and established my own consulting company. Katya also facilitated the reapplication for an O-1 visa as a small business owner. Katya's assistance was invaluable, as she helped me navigate immigration questions in the US on three separate occasions and find a path to launching my own business. I am deeply grateful for her and her team's professional advice, commitment, rigor, and the quality of the developed documentation. Most importantly, I am grateful for the successful results in each endeavor. I wholeheartedly recommend Katya Stelmakh as an immigration attorney, especially for sophisticated cases.

I went with Stelmakh & Associates for my O1 visa filing. I have known Katya since the past two years and had heard amazing things about her. Upon our first interaction she was very optimistic about my case and I see her present the case in very robust manner when we discussed it. This made me believe... they would be the best form for my case. Working with them was better than I hoped for. They are on top of everything and are very timely and professional. O1 is a lot of documentation and I loved how the team was always there to keep you on time and support you to the best of their abilities. They paid attention to every small detail. I cannot recommend a better firm than them for your visa filing.

Katya is super knowledgeable and she answers all the questions in as much depth as possible. During my first meeting with her, when she first told me that I should get my O1 approved without much hiccups, it made a big difference to my morale. At this point, I had already met many other immigration t...eams but no one gave me the sense that this is actually doable. Her confidence helped me go through the arduous process with minimal stress. Her optimism which is rightfully rooted in her expertise was such a pillar of support for me. These are the things that might get generally overlooked when working with an immigration team but to have an immigration team that not only delivers but also is a net-positive to your mental health especially when you're dealing with a tough life-changing process like O1, EB1-A, H1-B, etc.. makes such a huge difference. Katya's work is very thorough and detailed. I have worked with immigration teams both at Google, Apple and the likes and I have to say that working with Katya definitely tops the list of effective + pleasant immigration support experiences. For anyone looking to hire an immigration team to work on their O1 VISA, I'd highly recommend Katya and her team. I have made countless recommendations already and I'd recommend working with her to anyone who needs immigration support!
