Bilingual EN/RU immigration lawyer for Tallahassee & North Central Florida — academic H-1B/O-1/EB-2 NIW, family green cards & citizenship. (305) 315-3425.
North Central Florida is anchored by Tallahassee — the state capital and a major university town — surrounded by the rural Big Bend and Suwannee River communities. It is a region of academics, government professionals, and agricultural families. Fitenko Law PLLC, founded by Ekaterina Fitenko, Esq., serves the capital region in both languages — part of our all-Florida practice.
Our practice reaches Leon, Gadsden, Wakulla, Jefferson, Madison, Taylor, Lafayette, Dixie, Gilchrist, Levy, Columbia, Suwannee, and Hamilton counties, including Tallahassee (the state capital, home to Florida State University and Florida A&M), Lake City, Live Oak, and Quincy.
The regional economy centers on state government, Florida State University and Florida A&M University, healthcare, and agriculture. The strong academic and research presence makes faculty and scholar visas a natural focus of our North Central Florida practice.
FSU and FAMU faculty, researchers, and postdocs often qualify for H-1B, O-1, and EB-2 NIW status.
We assist Big Bend families with marriage green cards, family petitions, and naturalization.
Your case is handled by the USCIS field office in Tallahassee. We determine the governing field office for your county before submitting anything. Everything from consultation to filing is handled remotely and securely.
