Spotlight - Alma
Alma is tackling one of the most complex and frustrating systems—immigration law—by combining technology, legal expertise, and a deep commitment to client care.
Founded by Aizada Marat, a Harvard Law graduate and immigrant from Kyrgyzstan, Alma stands out with its commitment to speed, excellence, and care. The firm specializes in helping highly skilled immigrants secure talent-based visas, including O-1A, H-1B, and L-1 non-immigrant visas, as well as EB-1A and EB-2 NIW immigrant visas. Their clients range from individual professionals and founders to startups and large companies hiring global talent.
The company stands out for its innovative approach to immigration services:
Free Initial Consultations: Clients get clear, upfront guidance on their visa options.
Rapid Turnaround: Alma prepares detailed visa applications—often hundreds of pages long—in just two weeks.
Attorney-Led Service: Clients always work directly with experienced attorneys to ensure top-notch legal support.
Tech-Driven Transparency: A proprietary web platform offers clients real-time updates and visibility into their immigration process.
The results speak for themselves. Alma has helped clients secure O-1 visas in as little as two months and has garnered $5.5 million in funding from top-tier investors like Bling Capital, Forerunner, Village Global, NEA, NFX, Conviction, MVP and Silkroad Innovation Hub.
