A complete process for IT professionals — from profile evaluation to the O-1 visa stamp in your passport: selecting the petitioner, such as an agent or technology company, media publications about the applicant, scholarly publications in computer science, awards and judging hackathons, membership in IEEE and ACM, original contributions, recommendation letters, and turnkey preparation of the I-129 petition.
Full support at every stage of the O-1 process
PR Strategy & Media Publications
Publications about you in Forbes, TASS, VC.ru, and more than 50 international technology publications. Scholarly publications in computer science, judging IT competitions and hackathons, peer review, membership in IEEE and ACM, and documentation of original contributions. Each publication comes with a lifetime placement guarantee.
I-129 Petition Preparation
I prepare the I-129 petition, select the petitioner, such as a technology company or agent, draft recommendation letters, and assemble a complete evidence package for USCIS. I analyze your products, open-source projects, conferences, and articles, identify the strongest criteria, and build a strategy for your specific case.
I only work with those who have real chances. I assess the profile honestly, build the strategy on strong criteria, and see every case through to approval.

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, in many cases. Experience with significant projects, publications, speaking engagements, and open-source contributions can already provide a strong foundation. Missing criteria such as media publications, judging, and association membership can be developed through the PR package within two months.
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.
