I applied to Artem's agency to obtain an EB-2 NIW immigrant visa. I applied and have never regretted it. From the very beginning of our communication Artem and his team made the best impression on me. At all stages of the case preparation they provided maximum assistance in information gathering, collection and preparation of letters, advice, and everything in general. All communication was as open, friendly and prompt as possible.
I also got the impression that what they were doing was as interesting to them as possible. It is interesting to develop, interesting to solve non-standard problems, interesting to learn something new. With this approach, the potential of these guys is almost limitless, they have a great future, you can see it and it is very encouraging. I am very glad that I was lucky to find this agency.
Yes, I forgot to say, the result of the case submission was approval, and from the first time.
I wish the whole agency team and Artem personally to conquer new heights, success and prosperity, you are great guys!
I have collaborated with Susanne Leone on numerous transactions and she is highly knowledgeable about company structures and property title arrangements, particularly for foreign nationals. She is an expert in her field and a pleasure to work with her.
If you're in need of an immigration lawyer, Artem is the go-to person. Particularly for digital businesses, Artem knows how to present your case in the best light possible, ensuring that you achieve maximum results. With two cases under my belt, both of which we won, I can attest that Artem knows precisely how to handle your case.
Susanne has been taking care of our company for more than 2 years now and we are very satisfied. She has assisted us in establishing a U.S. company and obtaining our U.S. work visas. All requests get answered quickly and professionally.
Mr. Artem was a very big help for my family during our immigration process. He made the process smooth, and fought for our rights. He had great communication skills and kept us in the loop the entire time. His judgement and points of view were phenomenal and taught us a lot of useful information. Highly recommend seeing this lawyer, if you are struggling to find the perfect immigration lawyer. He will do everything he can for you!
I can only recommend Susanne as a lawyer. She provided us with advice and support and assisted us in establishing our business in Florida. Susanne did not just offer simple consultations but worked with us to develop solutions and established the necessary contacts for our business.
Susanne also speaks German, which was particularly helpful for us in legal matters.
I enjoyed working with Susanne, and this is underscored by the fact that we are still working with her.
We contacted lawyer Artem Zhgun. He is a highly qualified specialist who helped us with our migration case in the USA quite quickly and efficiently!
Many thanks to Artem J. for his valuable consultation. It definitely changed our idea of how to go, where to go and what to do in the USA.
Susanne is a very professional attorney that helped our Swedish based company establish in the US. She is very experienced and we are very happy to work with her.
Really liked the approach to the case
Leone Zhgun, P.A. was a true support for us in the process of obtaining the E2 Visa. Not only did they handle the documentary preparation and meticulous compilation of necessary documents, but their advice was also extremely professional. The entire team, led by Artem, assisted us with all our questions, and if we didn't understand something, Susanne was able to translate from English to German. We were also well-prepared for the upcoming interview at the embassy. I can only recommend the firm and look forward to continuing our collaboration.
Susanne is awesome. She helped us a lot and you can ask her everything. She has a lot of contacts in the US. That is very helpful when you start a new life here. Thanks for all!

The main types of business visas are the EB-5, E-2, E-1, L-1, and EB-1C visas. Each of these visas allows you to open and conduct business in the U.S., but each of these visas has different requirements.
All principal investment and business visas (EB-5, E-2, E-1, L-1, EB-1C visas) allow the inclusion of family (spouse and children under 21) in the same petition as the principal petitioner.
