Natalia Polukhtin (Global Practice Group, Scottsdale, Arizona), known in the community as "Logofilka," is an immigration attorney leaning toward investment immigration (EB-5) plus EB-1A and EB-2 NIW. She is well known for a large amount of free educational content: an Instagram blog (@logofilka) and YouTube videos that the chats call accurate and to the point. Her public Avvo profile is 5.0 out of 5 (76 reviews) with a 10 "Superb" rating; she has awards (Top 25 EB-5) and sits on the AILA ethics committee. The community reports confirmed approvals (EB-1A and EB-2 NIW) and praises her deep involvement in each case and her availability. A few caveats: the office is small and does not take every case, and per feedback she tends to take strong cases; historically her focus is closer to the investor visa, so it is worth discussing your specific case up front.

Success! EB-1A (Choreography field with PhD) attorney Natalia Polukhtina. Today we received approval without an RFE through premium processing. Super attorney and her team! We will keep moving forward. Good luck to everyone!

I recommend adding Natalia Polukhtin to the list: in my view a great specialist. We chose her and never regretted it; only positive impressions of working with her.

Logofilka (Natalia Polukhtin) rarely talks nonsense: when she explains something, it usually comes with references to official documents. In the chats she is often taken as a reference point on contested questions - for example, which category combinations you can and cannot file.

My favorite lawyer on YouTube is this woman (Logofilka): when she explains something, the details are usually solid, all to the point.
- Positive from the community (Telegram)3/24/2023
I can recommend Natalia Polukhtin: the office is small and takes few cases, but she handles each one with deep involvement and is always reachable. She also runs an immigration-law blog (Logofilka).

I emailed and got a canned bot reply, and an illogical one at that; I wrote back and got another auto-reply. Odd for an attorney with a good reputation; if live feedback at the start matters to you, keep this in mind.
- Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified4/8/2025
I had a consultation with Logofilka for EB-1: she said my case was not strong enough yet and did not take it on. She screens clients quite strictly and does not take weak cases - if your profile is borderline, allow for a decline.
- Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified3/28/2024
I emailed to set up a NIW consultation (about 300 dollars). An assistant replied that they do not take clients with a borderline status at all and do not even give a paid consultation. Per feedback the focus leans heavily toward investors - confirm up front whether they take your format.
- Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified12/17/2023
Per chat feedback, she mostly takes strong, near-certain cases - if your case is borderline, allow for the possibility that she may decline.
- Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified2/8/2023
We reached out to Natalia Polukhtin; they replied that her specialty is the investor visa, but they still reviewed the case and gave a comment. For EB-2 NIW, confirm up front whether she takes your format.
