Everything We Talked, Was so Clear.

At the beginning of 2023, I started learning and reading to understand about the O-1 Visa. Contacted many lawyers that left me more confused than I was🙃.  So I decided to keep trying by myself when I found a Youtube video from Elektra and immediately called and scheduled the consultation. From the first meeting everything we talked, was so clear. She made me understand how the visa worked and also stated how she had worked in the past.
