Victoria Ledeneva

Виктория Леденева

Victoria Ledeneva (Law Firm of Victoria Ledeneva, Brooklyn) is an immigration attorney for the talent visas O-1, EB-1A and EB-2 NIW. The community reports many confirmed EB-1A approvals across fields (IT, the beauty industry, sport, design); she is often recommended by word of mouth and is singled out for strong work on appeals. Things to watch: the main and almost the only recurring downside in reviews is slow responses; it helps to follow up more often and across several channels. A few people noted a reserved manner in consultations.

Pros

  • +Many confirmed EB-1A approvals across fields (IT, beauty, sport, design), some with no RFE
  • +Per reviews, strong on appeals - useful if a case has already been denied
  • +Often recommended by word of mouth; frequently takes on non-standard profiles
  • +Avvo 5.0, a Clients' Choice award and Rising Star (2020); AILA member, about 13 years in practice
  • +A confirmed double approval for one client: EB-2 NIW, then EB-1, both without premium and with no RFE

What to watch for

  • -The main recurring downside in reviews is slow responses; it helps to follow up more often and across several channels
  • -A few people described a reserved, detached manner in consultations
  • -There were cases where an initial inquiry went unanswered for a while; worth re-sending messages
  • -Confirm pricing directly - reviews cite about 6,000 dollars for a case and a consultation around 150 dollars; prices change
  • -Consultations run by phone/messenger without a prior document review; PayPal payment is inconvenient for Russian cards

    Attorney Victoria Ledeneva - I can confidently say she is the best attorney! Both cases were filed without expediting and RFE.

  • Positive From community chats unverified9/9/2026

    I received the long-awaited approval for EB1 without RFE! Specialty - IT, attorney Victoria Ledeneva. I chose her based on recommendations from acquaintances, at least 5 people I spoke to received approvals with her. At first, there were communication problems, but then Victoria hired an assistant, and everything got sorted out. I met all the criteria except for associations and awards, filed from within the USA.

    Hello everyone! It's time for us to write a review! We received approval. EB-1A. Education. Attorney Victoria Ledeneva 💪 - we are all satisfied! We signed the contract at the end of December. We applied for premium. In May, we received a strange RFE sent as if to us, but not to us. 3 criteria did not relate to our experience at all and were addressed to a Trombonist 🤣… 1 criterion was counted… they did not consider good media, wrote about the leftover ones… we responded to the RFE in early September, pointed out the officer's errors - received approval the next day.

    My attorney Victoria Ledeneva is the best! I personally recommend her to everyone as a top-level specialist!

  • Positive From community chats unverified9/9/2026

    I have EB1A. I am a taekwondo coach, sports judge, founder and director of a private sports center. My 'magician' is Victoria Ledeneva. And I am EXTREMELY GRATEFUL to her. I collected and prepared documents for almost 1.5 years. It was premium.

  • Positive From community chats unverified9/9/2026

    Victoria Ledeneva. We received the green card with her + I know about 5 other people who got it. She is amazing.

  • Positive Avvo - reviews6/1/2024

    On Avvo, a 5.0 rating and a large number of reviews (around 89), plus a Clients' Choice award. Clients note that she is always reachable and shares her personal cell with all clients; she graduated from St. John's University School of Law and a law school in Russia. (Summary of the public profile.)

    I got an EB-1 approval, and a year earlier an EB-2 NIW with her too (I could not file for adjustment right away because of the visa-bulletin freeze). Both cases went through without premium processing and with no RFE. The attorney was Victoria Ledeneva, the best choice for me.

  • Positive from the community (Telegram)2/13/2024

    Mine was an EB-1A: a taekwondo coach, sports judge, founder of a sports center. The attorney was Victoria Ledeneva, huge thanks - the case was carried to approval, with premium processing.

  • Positive from the community (Telegram)2/8/2024

    An EB-1A case with Ledeneva: approval on day 12, field - engineer-entrepreneur and inventor, built on his own developments, wide distribution (Europe, Kazakhstan, Russia), role, contribution, media, scholarly works, judging, an award. Many recommendation letters from trusted countries. An acquaintance with an almost-ready case got an approval from her in 4 months without premium.

  • Positive Avvo1/1/2024

    On Avvo, a 5.0 rating, a Clients' Choice award and Rising Star status (2020). A St. John's University School of Law graduate, an AILA member, about 13 years in practice; focus - business immigration. (Summary of the public profile.)

    Got the long-awaited EB-1 approval with no RFE, field - IT, attorney Victoria Ledeneva. I chose her on a friends' recommendation: at least five people I talked to got approvals with her.

  • Positive from the community (Telegram)8/11/2023

    Ledeneva is very good with appeals - people note that specifically. If a case has already been denied, she is worth approaching for exactly that.

Negative (6)

  • Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified3/28/2024

    I spoke with her in a consultation; she seemed fairly reserved and detached, though she may be different in the actual work. I have not come across bad reviews of her.

  • Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified3/18/2024

    I paid for a 45-minute consultation, but on the call the attorney was reluctant to engage and I literally had to pull information out of her; within about 20 minutes it was clear she was not inclined to take my case. Maybe the profile just was not a fit, but the format left a bad aftertaste.

  • Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified3/10/2024

    A mundane but real downside: she takes consultation payments via PayPal, to which no Russian card binds after 2022 - I had to look for workarounds to transfer the money. Budget time for payment if you are not in the US.

  • Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified2/26/2024

    I went to her for a 150-dollar consultation (45 minutes) about my denial and a plan for a second attempt. It was all by phone over a messenger, she does not review documents in advance or show them on the call; we went over the evidence briefly, and to my mind there was no in-depth analysis. For a deep audit of a denial this format may not be enough.

  • Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified2/13/2024

    Slow responses are arguably her only well-known downside. A tip from the chat: just follow up more often and across several channels, and it all works out.

  • Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified1/9/2024

    At first we got an email with a list of what to provide for the work; we sent everything - and then silence. In the end we moved to another attorney. Per reviews this is about slow replies rather than case quality.
