I had my NIW approved years ago and came to Stelmakh & Associates for an EB-1A profile evaluation. With my background as a technical lead, IoT tele researcher, PhD candidate, and patent holder, I thought I would receive an RFE—but my case was approved directly. Katya is a true expert in EB-1A,Niw,O-1 and Marina understood every detail of my profile and drafted the case extremely well. Their work gave me confidence and clarity, and the approval had a huge positive impact on my immigration journey. I am extremely thankful to Katya and Marina and strongly recommend them to experts in their field. I very very very strongly recommend😁

Working with Katya and her team on my O-1A petition has been a rewarding experience. As a founder and medtech entrepreneur preparing to move operations to the U.S., I needed a firm that could navigate the legal complexity and understand the complexity of my professional background: international grants, academic research, patents, and innovation in point-of-care diagnostics. Katya brought clarity and strategic insight. Maddalena’s dedication to building a detailed and compelling petition was remarkable. She patiently worked through my evidence and crafted a thorough case that truly reflected the breadth of my work. What I appreciated most was their care, support, and responsiveness throughout the process, especially as I was juggling timelines from abroad. Thanks to their expertise, my O-1A petition was approved. I recommend Katya and her team to fellow founders and scientists seeking serious, experienced immigration counsel who understand both legal complexity and innovation.

I had an excellent experience working with Stelmakh Law on my EB1A petition, which was approved successfully. Their team demonstrated deep expertise in EB1A case strategy and representation, and they truly understand what USCIS looks for in a strong, compelling petition. From the very beginning, they provided clear guidance on how to shape my profile to meet the EB1A criteria. Their consultation was thorough and strategic, helping identify and strengthen the most impactful aspects of my professional achievements. The recommendation letters they developed were exceptionally well-crafted—detailed, persuasive, and tailored specifically to support the case narrative. What stood out most was their end-to-end support: thoughtful advice, meticulous documentation, and a strong focus on building a cohesive and compelling submission. The team was responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive at every stage of the process. I highly recommend Stelmakh Law to anyone pursuing an EB1A petition and looking for a law firm with true subject-matter expertise and a results-driven approach.

When my wife and I first reached out to Stelmakh & Associates, we were trying to figure out the best long-term path for staying in the U.S. I was on an H-1B visa that would expire in a couple of years, and we were exploring whether O-1A, EB-1A, or EB-2 NIW would be the right choice. Katya walked us through both options in detail and helped us decide to move forward with the EB-2 NIW, based on our current goals and timeline. Even with a strong profile, including a Master’s from NYU, work in machine learning, published patents, peer-reviewed articles, and judging experience, we received an RFE. It was disappointing at first, but Karen was incredibly responsive and reassuring throughout. The legal team worked closely with me to craft a detailed response that clarifies the national importance of my future ML consulting business and reinforces my qualifications. Thanks to the team’s guidance and hard work, the case was approved. This process is not easy, and every detail matters. We’re very grateful to have had a legal team that understood both the immigration landscape and how to present our case with clarity and care. Katya and her team helped us take a big step forward. We absolutely recommend this firm.
