Cases & Reviews
Real results, confirmed proof
“My O-1A petition was approved without any additional requests. We filed through an agent, which made the process much easier. I received the visa stamp at the consulate in 2 weeks and entered the U.S. in March 2026.”
Dmitry Orlov - Senior Backend Engineer, St. Petersburg → New York
“I switched to O-1B, published a book in English, and was accepted into the Writers' Guild of Canada. The petition was approved on the first try, and I moved to Miami.”
Andrey Volkov — Founder, Russia → Miami
“A 412-page petition was approved on the first try without a single USCIS request for additional evidence. With premium processing, the decision came in 15 days.”
Mikhail Kuznetsov — Google Developer Expert, Moscow → San Francisco
“Professional, reliable, and knows every step of the process. Sergey built the evidence package so thoroughly that the USCIS officer found no grounds for refusal.”
Confidential Client - Software Architect
Yes. A founder cannot petition directly for themselves, but the company may file the petition if it has an independent governing body, such as a board of directors, with authority to make decisions concerning the founder’s employment. I help establish an appropriate structure.
O-1 is a nonimmigrant work visa (up to 3 years, with extensions). EB-1A is a direct path to a green card. O-1 has a lower evidentiary threshold (3 of 8 criteria versus the higher EB-1A standard), faster processing, and no quota backlog. Many clients first obtain O-1 and then pursue EB-1A while already in the United States.
If the criteria are already covered, preparation and filing take about 1 month. If the evidence package needs to be developed (PR package + turnkey case), the timeline is about 2 months. After filing, USCIS usually reviews the case in 2–4 months, or in 15 days with Premium Processing.
Yes. Filing through an agent is one of the key options for O-1. The agent represents you before USCIS and allows you to work with multiple U.S. clients at the same time. I can help select a suitable agent or work with your current employer.
All publications placed as part of your case remain on their platforms indefinitely. If a publication is removed due to the publisher's fault, I replace it with a similar publication at no extra charge.
Yes. All foreign-language documents must be translated into English and accompanied by a certified translator statement. Translation is included in the package and handled in compliance with USCIS requirements.
