Add ReviewGreen Card / Permanent Residency Petition - EB1A and AOSReport
I have hired Katya to help with the current filling of my EB1A Petition and AOS for myself and my family, and I am truly amazed by her knowledge & expertise, attention to detail, and step-by-step guidance throughout the process.
She is very responsive and extended her support even after filing and approving the petition. for instance, I had to request an emergency advance parole for my wife to attend a family emergency and Katya & her team's services and support are above and beyond.
I will highly recommend her for any related immigration services!
I am really fortunate that I worked with Katya. She is very knowledgeable and precisely knows how to prepare a strong case. I would highly recommend Stelmakh for any green card or immigration related needs.Report
Katya is the best immigration attorney and I can’t recommend her enough.Report
My husbands process began pre-Covid and after Covid began, we were still in the middle and of the immigration process. We were devastated to hear that our interview had been delayed but Katya was always on top of things, checking the time frames and making calls to get us scheduled as soon as possible. Once we had been scheduled we realized that instead of Seattle immigration office we had been scheduled in Yakima for an interview. Katya didn’t hesitate. She took her day off from work to travel with us all the way to Yakima. During the interview she was present with us and made sure to add any helpful information and monitor what was being asked from us. She brought all the copies of documents with her in case the immigration officer needed copies.
It has been a pleasure working with her from start to finish. She was always so calm and collected, assuring us that she knew what she was doing. In the end everything worked out and we became like family. I highly recommended her and trust her. She is knowledgeable, intelligent and she will fight for your case.
I typically don’t write online reviews, just not my style! But sometimes, you have to. As far as I recall, this is the third one that I’m writing in my life! Most likely, you would like to know why, right? Well, I’m a data person; so, I’ll go by number and real evidence. Here is one example that I can share: I have just exported one of the email threads with Katya and Kimberly to MS Word with not a big font but Aerial 9.5, and then counted number of lines! More than 100 lines just regarding some extra future related questions that had nothing to do with my main case with them and that was not the only thread of such a nature! I did not hear, “ooh,… yeah… you know… this is beyond our agreed…”. I’m not saying go misuse their time; I’m just saying how supportive they are by just one example.Report
It has been an honor to have Katya and Kimberly as my immigration attorneys. I had a complex case of dual employers, while for one of them, my own startup, I had an O1A. Basically, my new case was a concurrent O1A in addition to my startup O1A, where the new one was sponsored by a large research university. A very tight schedule and a lot of stress; however, the only part of the process that was smooth and stressless was knowing that 2 attorneys are taking care of the immigration maze precisely and that’s exactly what they did. Many thanks, Katya and Kimberly for all the support! I will never forget how responsive and supporting you were.
Katya and Ryan are one of the best when it comes to Non-Immigrant Visas. They worked on my O-1A case with thorough and diligent attention, and were able to help me and my wife obtain our Visas.Report
Ryan, who primarily worked on our application was available at all times whenever we needed to discuss a minor issue. The timelines committed to us were always respected and the right effort was put in to align expectations. Extremely professional.
Not just that, but Stelmakh Law was able to help identify the right US consulates where we could get our stamping appointments. This was extremely challenging considering US embassies in (almost) all countries were providing appointments to only citizens of their respective countries and there were multiple travel restrictions in place due to CoVID-19. Although my local team was doing most of the leg work, Katya was always keen to humbly learn from our research so it could benefit her other clients, which I very much appreciate.
Katya is an excellent professional and highly helpful person. I am very grateful for her help in preparing my petition and interview for obtaining permanent resident status in the United States.Report
