Introducing you to Max Bartkov. A 26-year-old software developer from Ukraine initially contacted Shamayev Business Law to help him apply for an O-1 non-immigrant, temporary visa but ended up getting a Green Card petition approved.<\/p>\n
How did this happen? We\u2019ll break it down for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n Back in June 2021, Max realized he needs to change his life for the better and came to the conclusion that moving to the U.S. would be perfect for him and his career as a software developer.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was considering where to relocate, I didn\u2019t actually see many choices there. Europe was not an option for me. Despite the fact that some of the biggest tech hubs are located there (e.g. Germany, the UK), the taxes are extremely high in these countries. That\u2019s why I chose the United States. Besides, the salaries in the U.S. are higher than those in the EU.\u201d, \u2014 says Max.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n After the research was done, Max figured he could qualify for an O-1 talent visa. So he came to us with a specific request to prepare his O-1 visa case. At that point, the idea of applying for a Green Card visa didn\u2019t even cross his mind, as it would be too much of a stretch for him.<\/p>\n So we initiated the O-1 visa process. In the beginning, his visa package seemed very raw. Our licensed attorney Stanislav Shamayev created a case strategy with a detailed action plan on how to improve the case. For several months Max has been working on improving certain visa criteria. At the same time, our professional team, while doing some digging, has discovered some of his achievements that simply weren\u2019t there at the beginning.<\/p>\n Finally, we realized! We actually have a great EB-1A case. Over the course of several months, an O-1 case has transformed into an EB-1A Green Card case, which is quite an achievement.<\/p>\n FYI: O-1 talent visa is not as prestigious as EB-1A. Here\u2019s why:<\/strong><\/p>\n The O-1 visa is not as demanding in terms of its requirements and criteria, however, it\u2019s still a non-immigrant visa, meaning you won\u2019t get permanent residence in the U.S. Whereas, EB-1A visa gives you a Green Card and a Lawful Permanent Resident status.<\/p>\n During a recent Live interview, Max told us, how he decided to choose our company among many other immigration firms existing on the market.<\/p>\n \u201cSince I\u2019m a pretty meticulous person I usually conduct deep research before buying a service or a product. Choosing an immigration lawyer was no exception. While looking for information on that matter, I came across several specialists and Stanislav Shamayev popped out first on the list. There was another lawyer I got interested in but as it turned out he didn\u2019t have a license, so my choice was pretty obvious.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Max also shared his opinion on how was it working with Shamayev Business Law.<\/p>\n \u201cWorking with you, guys, was so easy. Response time was at its best! I got an answer to any question I had in 10 minutes. This made our interactions very productive and effective.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Indeed, at Shamayev Business Law we are highly dedicated to our clients, as their success is our success.
