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.

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.

Опыт сотрудничества наилучший

Замечательная команда, общение вежливое, доброжелательное. Здесь мне очень помогли, всё прозрачно, подробно рассказали. На первой консультации Ольга тщательно изучила мои документы и честно сказала, есть ли шансы на успех. Меня не стали разводить на деньги, а сразу предупредили о последствиях, есл...и кейс слабый. Но в моем случае перспективы были хорошие, а еще сказали, что если в визе откажут, сделают полный возврат средств, и поэтому я не переживала вообще. От меня требовалось только собрать документы , все остальное сделали специалисты. Опыт сотрудничества просто наилучший. Даже не думала, что все может оказаться так просто

Her professionalism and commitment to my case were evident from day one. Olga's attention to detail and thorough understanding... of immigration law ensured that no aspect of my application was overlooked. She and her team worked tirelessly, demonstrating dedication and a clear focus on achieving a successful outcome.
