Oksana Bandrivska

Оксана Бандривская

Oksana Bandrivska (Senior Immigration Counsel, Peyrot & Associates PC, New York) is an immigration attorney for business and family immigration, including the O-1/P-1 talent visas and work visas. She has been admitted to practice in New York since 2011 (Cardozo School of Law), with about 15 years of experience. Per the first community review, she works precisely, is attentive to detail, has no fluff, and brings a human, personal approach; an O-1b approval went through an RFE and then APPROVED, and later the same client had an EB-1 success. The main thing people flag is that, because of a heavy workload, she is not always prompt - so agree on response times in advance and keep communication on the main email.

What to watch for

-Because of a heavy workload, she is not always prompt - agree on response times in advance
-Per the review, emails initially landed in spam on both sides - check the spam folder and duplicate anything important
-Her footprint in public talent-visa reviews is still narrow - little beyond one detailed first-hand review
-Clarify fees and exact scope at the consultation in advance

Positive from the community (Telegram) unverified12/11/2024
EN: The same client later posted an EB-1 success story (green card) - a photographer/videographer case went through an RFE and was approved. There is a track record on both O-1 and EB-1.
Positive from the community (Telegram)12/11/2024
After the O-1 with Oksana I later had an EB-1 success too (green card). I posted the stories for both visas in the community.
Positive Avvo / peer endorsements2/1/2024
EN: On Avvo a former client writes that with Oksana there was a sense of comfort and trust, calling her a brilliant attorney and at the same time a kind, responsible person. Peers in endorsements note professionalism and compassion.

Positive Firm profile (Peyrot & Associates)1/1/2024
EN: Per the firm profile, beyond the O-1/P-1 talent visas she handles work visas (H-1B, L-1A/L-1B, E-1/E-2) and a wide range of employment green cards - useful if a talent case needs to be paired with a work option.

Positive from the community (Telegram)7/25/2023
I do not want to over-praise, but Oksana is much more human than many other attorneys people often write about here. I left my detailed review under her section on o1eb1.
Positive from the community (Telegram) unverified2/16/2023
EN: A detailed success from the chat: visa type O-1/O-1b, premium processing - filed the petition, an RFE came in, and after the response the case was APPROVED. The attorney was found via a referral from a niche community.
Positive from the community (Telegram)2/16/2023
Attorney Oksana Bandrivska (by referral). Precise, detail-oriented, no fluff. Visa type O-1/O-1b, premium processing: we filed the petition, a week later got an RFE asking for the company contract, and after the response - APPROVED.

Negative (4)

Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified7/25/2023
EN: A community observation: there are still few detailed independent reviews of her - mostly one thorough successful case and mentions. Worth clarifying the price, scope and timelines yourself at the consultation.
Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified2/16/2023
At the start my emails went to spam, and the same happened with a few attorneys; Oksana checked her spam folder and replied. Tip: duplicate important emails and check spam on both sides.
Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified2/16/2023
The downside - she is not always prompt because of a heavy workload. Factor this into timelines and agree in advance on how fast to expect a reply.
Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified2/16/2023
EN: A downside from the same review: because of a heavy workload Oksana is not always prompt. Factor this into timelines and agree in advance how fast to expect replies at the filing and RFE stages.
