We help make the dreams of people from CIS countries come true. There are several legal ways to enter the United States: obtaining an official visa, a tourist visa, an O-1 visa for talents, or a business visa. There are also other paths, such as applying for political asylum. We assist in preparing a full set of documents to maximize the chances of receiving asylum approval. Each political asylum case is unique, and to prepare for their case, individuals come to me from their home country.
Obtaining an H-1B Work Visa for an Engineer from Ukraine — Successful Legal Support
In 2024, a client from Ukraine—a software engineer—approached me with a job offer from an American IT company. The client had a high level of qualification but no experience in visa processing and was concerned about possible refusal during the U.S. consulate interview. The goal was to obtain an H-1B work visa for legal relocation to the United States and the start of professional activity.
The process of obtaining an H-1B visa is quite complex and requires strict compliance with all formalities, from proper employment contract preparation to interview readiness. The client faced several challenges: assembling a large package of documents, proving qualifications, and preparing for questions from consular officers who often ask unexpected questions. Additionally, there were strict deadlines for submitting documents that could not be missed to participate in the H-1B visa lottery.
What steps helped achieve a positive result?
- Thorough review of documents and requirements. We carefully checked the documents provided by the employer and client, including the employment contract, diplomas, certificates, and recommendation letters. Special attention was paid to matching the job profile to the requirements of the H-1B visa category, ensuring all necessary forms were prepared for submission to USCIS and the U.S. consulate.
- Comprehensive preparation for the consulate interview. We conducted several mock interviews with the client, analyzed typical and unusual questions, and provided recommendations on behavior, attire, and document presentation to reduce anxiety and increase the client’s confidence.
- Support throughout all stages of the visa process. We monitored document submission deadlines and timely receipt of notices from USCIS, promptly responded to requests, and assisted with additional clarifications. This helped avoid common mistakes and delays.
- Post-visa issuance and entry support. We provided consultations regarding compliance with visa conditions, renewal procedures, and adaptation in the new environment, helping to understand labor laws and social benefits.
