Hello! My name is Oleg Listunov. Currently, I work as a paralegal at a law firm in Boston specializing in Landlord & Tenant Law. Our firm serves clients across the entire state and covers the whole New England region — one of our major strengths. In addition, I assist individuals with immigration matters at the federal level across all U.S. states. I also help clients — both U.S. residents and foreign entrepreneurs — with starting corporations and opening business bank accounts. If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to help. Don’t hesitate to reach out!

Case Overview

A Ukrainian entrepreneur living in the U.S. on a temporary visitor status reached out to Oleg Listunov for help. He planned to transition to a long-term business-related immigration status, but his first application package had already been returned by USCIS due to multiple errors and missing documents. 

The applicant had prepared the forms on his own, but USCIS issued a rejection for “insufficient evidence,” incorrect dates, missing pages, incomplete sections, inconsistencies in Form I-539, and an inadequately prepared purpose-of-stay explanation. 

Any mistake in immigration forms — even a small one — can lead to refusal, delays, or complications in immigration history. 

With Oleg’s detailed guidance and step-by-step support, the client was able to resubmit a fully corrected and professionally organized application package, successfully avoiding a second rejection.

Key issues the client faced:
— USCIS returned the packet due to “insufficient evidence”;
— errors and missing sections in Forms I-539 and I-129;
— absence of a detailed cover letter and purpose statement;
— missing proof of financial stability and business background;
— fear of a second rejection and losing status;
— no understanding of which documents USCIS prioritizes.

Oleg’s Strategy — Creating a “Clean and Complete” USCIS-Ready Package

Oleg proposed a full revision of the previous submission and developed a precise algorithm to ensure the new filing would be 100% correct, fully documented, and professionally structured.

1. Full analysis of the returned application — identifying all mistakes and USCIS concerns.
2. Creating a new structure for the packet: cover letter, table of contents, and clear explanation of business purpose.
3. Correcting all forms (I-539, I-129, G-28, supporting addenda).
4. Proper documentation of the client’s entrepreneurial background.
5. Collecting missing evidence: financial resources, business activity documentation, future plans.
6. Building an “evidence package” in a USCIS-friendly format with logical order, labeling, and cross-references.

Practical Steps Oleg Completed

1. Corrected and re-completed all immigration forms, including sections the client previously skipped.
2. Prepared a detailed cover letter explaining the purpose of the application and the rationale for status change.
3. Created a complete business profile summarizing the client’s experience, services, and market justification.
4. Assembled missing evidence and documentation required by USCIS.
5. Formatted the entire package into a clear, structured, logically organized submission.
6. Provided instructions for mailing, tracking, and monitoring the case.

Results

• The application was accepted by USCIS without any issues.
• The client avoided a second rejection and the risk of losing legal status.
• The final package looked professional, clean, and complied fully with USCIS standards.
• The client gained a clear understanding of all immigration forms and evidence requirements.
• Thanks to Oleg’s guidance, the client successfully moved forward to the next stage of the immigration process.
