Dealing with USCIS and immigration status by herself is on her list of successes. Apart from studying all those subjects and getting those degrees, the experience Olga got while traveling to the U.S taught her what was wrong with the legal immigration process and how to make it more effective and straightforward. Thanks to that, she can now help immigrants have a safer and easier immigration process without spending a fortune on it.
