About Stelmakh & Associates LLC

Stelmakh & Associates LLC is a Seattle-based business immigration law firm dedicated to transforming global talent, innovation, and investment into lasting opportunities in the United States. Founded in Silicon Valley and led by managing attorney Katya Stelmakh, the firm is known for legal excellence, ethical advocacy, and strategic representation. Technology professionals, startup founders, researchers, and investors rely on the firm’s deep experience with complex immigration pathways, backed by a 97% USCIS approval rate and thousands of cases successfully handled over more than 17 years in practice. The firm’s mission is to make the immigration journey easier and less stressful for ambitious global professionals and families.

Stelmakh & Associates LLC focuses on high-impact business and employment-based immigration, including O-1 and O-1A visas, EB-1A extraordinary ability green cards, EB-1B outstanding researcher or professor petitions, EB-2 NIW green cards, E-1 and E-2 treaty visas, EB-5 investor options, and L-1, H-1B, and TN visas. The firm also supports consular processing, visitor visas, and coordinated global immigration through a network of trusted partners in Europe, Asia, and Canada, enabling entrepreneurs and professionals to pursue cross-border expansion with confidence.

Stelmakh & Associates LLC delivers personalized legal solutions built on meticulous preparation and a thoughtful understanding of each client’s career, achievements, and long-term goals. Customized strategies replace “cookie-cutter” filings, with a three-person legal team assigned to each matter: a managing attorney, an associate attorney, and an experienced paralegal. Multilingual capabilities in English, French, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Russian, combined with secure technology and an intuitive client portal, create a streamlined, transparent experience from initial eligibility review through final decision.

Stelmakh & Associates LLC reinforces trust through clear communication, honest case assessments, and structural safeguards such as flat fees, prompt responses, and coverage of RFEs and NOIDs at no additional legal cost. Early money-back guarantees reflect confidence in the firm’s process and commitment to fairness. Clients consistently describe feeling supported, understood, and empowered as they pursue O-1, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and investor options that advance careers and businesses. High-quality counsel, strategic insight, and genuine empathy define the firm’s role as a long-term partner in building futures, scaling companies, and fostering innovation in the United States.
