It was a pleasure working with the Stelmakh & Associates team. They handled my application with exceptional diligence, professionalism, and efficiency, ultimately securing approval in a timely manner. A special thank you to Katya, Vanessa, Vikas, and the entire team for their support throughout the process. From start to finish, everything was seamless. Their organization, attention to detail, and deep understanding of each client's case truly set them apart. Vikas, thank you for your continued guidance throughout the process and for always responding promptly to any questions or concerns. Your support was greatly appreciated. The entire experience was smooth, transparent, and stress-free.

Absolutely zero stars for this firm. Despite being a law firm, they couldn't even handle a simple discovery call properly. When I asked basic questions about their procedures, they didn't seem to know anything. On top of that, scheduling is a nightmare—it is incredibly difficult to get them on the phone, and they sent a last-minute cancellation request right before our scheduled call.
Reply from Stelmakh & Associates 2026.06.05
Dear Sachin, please note that the initial Free Discovery Calls which you scheduled concurrently with both of our Client Success Managers, Fidel and Jhanier, was not a legal consultation. It was an introductory call for us to assess your basic credentials for EB1a extraordinary ability green card.  The purpose of the free call was to discover facts about your background and EB1a qualifications, to make sure we can provide EB1a service to you.  Therefore, one of these concurrent discovery calls was cancelled by our intake team. You demanded a price match to another service provider and brought a list of questions which required an immigration legal advice, something our Intake and Client Success Specialists are not authorized by law to answer since they are not licensed US attorneys. To get answers to your specific legal questions, you had an option of scheduling a paid consultation with me or one of our highly experienced attorneys: Olga, Samriddhi, Jessica, Sanjana, or Diego. You expected us to share with you, for free, our internal work product with EB1a resources and advice on what evidence you should provide in support of your EB1a petition. We provide these resources and expert advice to clients who actually retain us for the EB1a service and become our clients. Each member of our team is committed to highest standards of professional conduct and would not bend to pressure to provide EB1a legal strategy advice which they should not provide without a attorney license according to US law and our internal policies. We are happy to consult you and answer all your legal questions, but you need to schedule a paid attorney consultation. Thank you for your understanding.

Had a really good experience working with Stelmakh & Associates for my EB1A petition. What I appreciated most was that they didn’t just collect documents and file the case — they actually worked with me on how to make my application stronger. They gave honest and practical feedback on what to include, what to leave out, and how to present my achievements in the best way. That kind of guidance really matters for EB1A. The process definitely takes time and effort, but once you have a strong profile, having an experienced team helps a lot in moving things forward smoothly. My case got approved without any RFE, which was a huge relief. Would definitely recommend Stelmakh & Associates to anyone applying for EB1A.

Before finding Katya and her team, I had been working with another attorney who essentially put my case on hold. Months passed, nothing moved, and I was left searching for someone who would actually do the work. A friend who had their EB-1A approved through Stelmakh & Associates referred me to them. I have been waiting for this day for a long time: my I-140 is approved! This achievement would not have been possible without Katya's leadership, Jessica’s well-thought-out draft, and Sam’s efficient oversight. This is a lifetime milestone for my family and me, and we are extremely grateful to you and your entire team. While client-attorney relationships can often feel transactional, this team's dedication has been a true blessing for us. If you are a data science or technology professional considering EB-1A and want a team that will truly show up for you, you just found them.

Dear Himanshu,
Thank you so much for sharing this. I know how frustrating it can be when a case feels stuck, so I’m really glad your friend connected you with us and that we could help move things forward toward a successful EB1a green card approval.

Thank you for your trust throughout this extraordinary ability green card journey!

I’m really grateful to Katya, Olga, and Dmitry for guiding me through my EB-1A process. This wasn’t a straightforward case, and what stood out to me was how deeply they understood both the technical side of my work and how to position it effectively for USCIS. They didn’t just “put together a petition”—they were very thoughtful about strategy, how to frame my contributions, and how to build a cohesive narrative across all the evidence. That made a big difference, especially in a complex EB-1A case like mine. Throughout the process, they were thorough, responsive, and clearly invested in getting the best possible outcome. I’m convinced their approach played a major role in the approval. I’d highly recommend them to anyone working on a serious EB-1A petition.

Thank you for your thoughtful words, Sujan, and congratulations again on your EB1a green card approval.
I’m really glad we could work together to present your work in a clear and compelling way. Wishing you continued success ahead!

I started working with Stelmakh law on EB-1A in July and had an approval notice in March of the following year. The team at Stelmakh was prescriptive in helping identify the criteria to file and figuring out the right pieces of evidence to make a strong case. They were responsive even when things are very busy. I received a NOID for which the team drafted a very strong response that converted into an approval notice. I've been recommending many of my friends to Stelmakh Law because of the clarity they provided throughout the process, drafting of a strong petition, and drafting of a RFE/NOID response.

Dear Jignesh,

Thank you for sharing your experience, for your trust and persistence, and congratulations again on your EB1a green card approval! I’m really glad we could guide you in building a strong case and navigating the NOID successfully.
I’m also very grateful for your referrals. It means a lot when clients recommend us to their friends.

Wishing you continued success ahead!

I worked with Stelmakh & Associates on my EB-1A petition, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support. From our very first consultation, they took the time to understand my background and mapped out a clear strategy for building the strongest possible case. The team was incredibly thorough in organizing my evidence and highlighting the most impactful aspects of my work. They turned what initially felt like an overwhelming process into something manageable and reassuring. My petition was approved, and I truly believe it would not have happened without their expertise and dedication. I highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates to anyone pursuing an EB-1A.
Reply from Stelmakh & Associates 2026.04.15
Deep, thank you so much for these generous words!
The EB-1A process can feel intimidating. It means a lot to me to hear that we were able to turn that overwhelm into confidence for you. That is exactly what we set out to do from that very first consultation: understand your unique background and build a strategy around the full strength of your contributions.
Congratulations on your approval. It is very well deserved. Wishing you all the best in this exciting new chapter!

I have had the pleasure of working with Olga for all of our TN and other work visa needs for the past 12 years. I am grateful for her knowledge in this area. She and her team do a wonderful job of ensuring that we have everything that we need in order to get our team where they are going without any issues. They are responsive, prompt, helpful and patient.

We look forward to many more years of working together and making sure your team gets where they need to go — smoothly and without a hitch!

Хочу отметить оперативную работу всей команды, всегда на связи и максимально развернуто отвечают по каждому вопросу- как на английском, так и на русском языке. Полный сервис, переводчик, подготовка кейса на высшем уровне. Успешный результат не заставил себя долго ждать и я счастлив, что все удалось! Безмерно благодарен всей команде! Желаю вам и вашим клиентам благополучных результатов в каждом деле.

Excellent EB1A Expertise - recommend for Corporate Professionals I cannot recommend this law firm enough for their exceptional expertise in EB1A cases. Initially, I was hesitant about pursuing EB1A since my work was primarily within a large corporation without much public visibility. However, their track record with similar profiles gave me confidence to proceed. The team demonstrated remarkable skill in presenting my case, highlighting the important aspects of my contributions that I hadn't even considered significant. Their thorough approach and attention to detail made a huge difference in building a compelling case. What truly sets them apart is their ability to understand and effectively present corporate accomplishments in a way that meets EB1A criteria. Given the significant backlog in EB2 categories, successfully obtaining EB1A approval has provided invaluable peace of mind for my future.
Reply from Stelmakh & Associates 2026.03.31
Sandeep, thank you so much for this thoughtful review!

You've touched on something we hear often from corporate professionals: the belief that working within a large organization somehow makes an EB-1A case less compelling. In reality, some of the strongest extraordinary ability cases come from exactly that background. Your profile is a perfect example of that.

That is exactly the outcome we work toward for every client - freedom and peace of mind. Congratulations, and thank you for trusting us with your case!

After 4 denials with my previous attorney, I had almost lost hope that my EB-1A would ever be approved. I knew my case had merit. I needed someone who could see it and present it correctly. Olga took over my case, and the difference was immediate. She built a detailed, customized legal argument addressing the USCIS criteria. No shortcuts. Just precise, thoughtful legal work. The petition was approved in 4 DAYS on the very first attempt. Four denials, then four days to approval. That contrast says everything. Beyond the result itself, what impressed me was Olga's honesty and genuine commitment to my case. She was transparent throughout the process, set realistic expectations, and remained highly responsive even after the EB-1A was approved, helping with follow-up requests and next steps without ever making me feel like an afterthought. If you have a complex immigration case, especially one that has struggled with another attorney, I cannot recommend Olga Prygoda and Stelmakh & Associates strongly enough. She is one of the best EB-1A attorneys I have encountered.

Your review moved us deeply, Rasul!
I know how discouraging it can be to face repeated denials, and I am incredibly proud of the work Olga put into your case. That is exactly what she does best — she digs into the details, understands the full picture, and builds the kind of precise, customized argument that gives a strong case the presentation it truly deserves.

Recognition like this means the world to our entire team. Congratulations again, and thank you for trusting us with something this important!

I had a great experience working with Katya and her team. My EB1A case was approved without even receiving an RFE, which speaks volumes about their expertise and preparation. The team truly knows how to handle and present cases in a way that is well-structured and tailored to my profile. Diego was incredibly patient in addressing all my questions, and even last-minute updates were handled promptly and without any errors. The entire team was professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the process. I am truly grateful to everyone involved. They did a wonderful job, and their efforts have helped move my life from uncertainty to predictability. Thank you to the entire team!

Guru, thank you so much for these incredibly kind words!

An EB-1A approval with no RFE is a wonderful outcome, a true reflection of the strength of your profile and the quality of the case we built together. You brought exceptional credentials to the table, and we are proud that our team was able to present them in a way that spoke clearly to the standard of extraordinary ability.

I will make sure to pass along your kind words to Diego — he is a wonderful part of our team, and it is so rewarding to hear that his patience and responsiveness made a real difference throughout the process.

Wishing you all the best in this exciting new chapter!
