Vitalii Maliuk
Виталий Малюк (Arvian Law Firm)
Vitalii Maliuk is an immigration attorney and the founder of Arvian Law Firm, with offices in Irvine (California) and Chesterfield (Missouri). The firm's site gives his Missouri licence No. 73573; US immigration law is federal, so such cases are handled nationwide. The firm works on EB-1A and EB-2 NIW green cards, O-1 and L-1 visas, political asylum and family immigration, and its site and consultations are available in Russian. The community chats have many reports of approvals, including after an RFE and in sports cases, but also sharp criticism: that clients barely talk to the attorney himself and that a field was chosen wrongly.

Positive (8)
- Positive from the community (Telegram)July 2026
The EB-1A was approved after an RFE; the author notes convenient contact through Telegram and quick replies from the staff. The firm then filed the I-485, and after an interview in Los Angeles the family received green cards.
- Positive from the community (Telegram)June 2026
An EB-1A in sport (judo and sambo). The first consultation was free, consultations during the work were set up quickly, and the athlete got a discount. At first the officer accepted none of the criteria, but the firm prepared a detailed RFE response and the petition was approved.
- Positive from the community (Telegram)June 2026
The author filed for EB-1A with this firm: the work was clear and well organised, the I-140 was approved, and then the author and her husband received green cards.
- Positive from the community (Telegram)May 2026
The author worked with this attorney on a work visa and was pleased. In her words he also handles L-1A visas.
- Positive from the community (Telegram)May 2026
The first consultation was free, and everything about the case was explained in detail. The author recommends them.
- Positive from the community (Telegram)December 2025
A sport EB-1A: 8 of the 10 criteria were documented at filing. The RFE only asked about plans to keep working in the US; the firm prepared a structured response, and the I-140 was approved. The author recommends the firm to athletes and coaches.
- Positive from the community (Telegram)July 2025
An EB-2 NIW in software and ML: filed with premium processing, an RFE came, and after the response and a pause in processing the petition was approved.
- Positive from the community (Telegram)July 2025
The EB-1A was approved six days after filing; the status adjustment took about six months (there was a request about the earlier student documents). The author recommends them: everything was professional.
Negative (1)
- Negative from the community (Telegram) unverifiedDecember 2025
The author filed for EB-1A and writes that in a year of work the attorney never contacted her, everything went through paralegals and managers, and the field was chosen wrongly: per the RFE, the officer assessed her as a business executive rather than in fashion. She moved to another attorney, the RFE response was redone, and the petition was approved. The firm disagreed with her account in the chat and gave its own version.
