Strong Support

I came to Stelmakh & Associates as a Canadian professional who had just accepted a new role in the U.S. and needed a TN petition handled correctly and on a tight timeline. I chose them after doing my research because they clearly specialize in TNs and were very transparent about the process, costs, a...nd likelihood of success. Attorney Olga Prygoda and her team walked me through every step, drafted a very strong employer support letter, prepared all of the application materials, and answered my (many) questions quickly and clearly. They were meticulous but also practical, which made it much less stressful to go through the process while starting a demanding new job. Thanks to their work, my TN was approved without issues, and I’ve been able to move forward in my career in the U.S. with confidence. I’d strongly recommend Stelmakh & Associates to any other Canadians looking for reliable, high-quality immigration counsel.

Она не только юрист, а прям наставник: поддержит, объяснит, разложит всё по полочкам

С Ольгой работать было очень легко. Она не только юрист, а прям наставник: поддержит, объяснит, разложит всё по полочкам. Когда я решила подать на визу талантов, боялась, что мой опыт не дотянет. Но Ольга помогла увидеть сильные стороны, а её команда всё оформила так, что кейс выглядел безупречно. Да..., это небыстро, но результат того стоит, виза уже в паспорте, а я пакую чемоданы.

Когда я впервые задумался о подаче на EB-2 NIW, я готов был сдаться ещё до начала.

Когда я впервые задумался о подаче на EB-2 NIW, я готов был сдаться ещё до начала. Формы, куча требований, истории других иммигрантов в интернете, это всё звучало слишком сложно. Я записался на консультацию к Ольге просто чтобы понять стоит ли в это соваться, и остался, потому что она не перегружала ...мой мозг юридическими терминами. Она выслушала, спросила о моём опыте и чётко объяснила, как можно выстроить сильный кейс. Это не было каким-то чудом за одну ночь, это был дооооолгий путь, но с её поддержкой он показался вполне реальным. Сейчас я живу в Колорадо, работаю аналитиком данных и самому смешно от того, каким потерянным я был в самом начале этого процесса.

Excellent consultation on H1B immigration questions

Olga is a very professional and detailed lawyer. We had a bunch of questions about our non-obvious case. Olga was very patient, carefully reading and listening to everything that happened with our H-1B case, and gave clear recommendations. We were unsure about our unlawful presence after receiving an... I-797 from a new company following the grace period. Olga answered all our questions and was very helpful. What's more, she provided the consultation on very short notice. I highly recommend this professional for effective, clear help and instructions, especially if you value your time.

Я безмерно благодарен Ольге за помощь в процессе получения визы O-1.

Я безмерно благодарен Ольге за помощь в процессе получения визы O-1. Я работаю композитором в сфере кино и телевидения. У меня были проблемы с публикациями и упоминаниями в СМИ. Но Ольга точно знала, как оформить мои достижения и усилить мой кейс с помощью их PR-специалистов. Её внимание к деталям, ч...ёткая коммуникация и понимание всех тонкостей моей ниши вселили в меня уверенность с самого начала. Благодаря ей я теперь живу в Лос-Анджелесе и работаю с ведущими продакшн-компаниями. Рекомендую её всем профессионалам из других стран, которые хотят переехать в США.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
