Specialized in talent, business, and investment immigration to the USA, Shamayev Business Law Corporation recently marked its 10th anniversary. With this milestone, we have surpassed 3,400 approved cases, consistently achieving over 90% approval rate and holding one of the highest reputational positions according to client reviews on Google and Avvo.
SBL was founded in Florida, U.S., in October 2015 by Stanislav Shamayev, a licensed attorney.
Back then, it was a small office with only three people providing legal support for talented individuals seeking to move to the USA. With seemingly easy entry for these visa categories, the process requires careful legal guidance, long hours of work, and a detailed and structured immigration strategy. Dealing with documents and petitioning without an attorney is too complex, time-consuming, and, more importantly, not very productive, as there is a high risk of denial. Even if the case is full of evidence, it needs a legal perspective.
SBL’s founder, Stanislav Shamayev, spotted the complexity of this niche, creating his own approach to filing and strategy, which further evolved into the corporate SBL method. The success of the first approvals attracted new clients and helped to identify the company’s mission — making immigration to the USA easy and accessible. We break down complex legal requirements into simple and straightforward knowledge, aiming to bring 10,000 top talents, investors, and businessmen to the USA by 2030.
As the legal business is led by its attorneys, the SBL is named after its leading attorney and founder, Stanislav Shamayev.
Team with no borders
At its 10th anniversary, SBL Corporation is represented by 10 departments with 120 professionals spread around the world. The power of a legal corporation is in its teamwork, as a team of professionals is capable of delivering much stronger results than one attorney. Our experts conduct in-depth research on client cases, presenting it in a structured analysis, as well as supporting research on precedents, recent legal changes, and new laws in immigration affecting our niche. The team stands behind document checks and a range of other services. Our reputation is not only in the top-level of attorney expertise but also in this teamwork supporting attorneys’ day-to-day routine.

Educational Resources
As one of the leading law firms in the U.S. talent immigration, we are not only serving our clients, but also spreading the knowledge. Whether it is a legal change, a new trend in U.S. immigration, or a client case approval, we explain those events for the general public on our social media, blog, tutorials, webinars or presentations.
When attorneys rarely speak up in public, SBL’s leading attorney, Stanislav Shamayev, shares updates on the industry weekly! Stanislav hosts webinars and livestreams and some of those formats allow direct personal questions, so you have an opportunity to get advice from a licensed immigration attorney completely free of charge.
We also collaborate with other projects and public organizations to promote easy access to information on U.S. talent immigration. Often, you can meet our attorneys among the speakers at immigration-related conferences.

SBL’s educational effort is provided free to our audience, and a dedicated team works to pack this valuable information into content accessible to everyone. By doing so, we promote equal access to information on U.S. talent immigration and help individuals from around the world to escape misconceptions and mistakes in this complex matter.
Client-centric approach
A client is the center of all our work. At SBL, we set all our internal mechanics to ease the client’s part of collaboration in the case filing and deliver the highest level of service and results. We manage the highest standard via proactive communication, a structured approach, and deep expertise that helps us tailor solutions to clients’ specific situations.
All the cases we lead are about our clients. To make our routine individual, we assemble a team working on each case based on the case specifics. So our clients work with a team of 7–10 experts specializing in a particular type of visa and with deep knowledge of past precedents. Apart from that, there is a 24/7 customer support chat as well as a special service of quality control.
Our strategy is based on the following principles and values.
Regular and clear communication
Effective communication is a key to tailoring services. At SBL, we maintain open and regular communication with our clients for timely updates. We have a special department that is always in touch with a client and responsible for quality control and communication — Quality Control.
We also have a separate team, entirely dedicated to interactions with the U.S. Embassies — Department of Communication with the Embassies. SBL’s internal experiences in dealing with governmental bodies and official institutions allow us to escape prolonged answers and costly mistakes when this communication is taken by a client. Our team is always ready to navigate you through the correspondence with the U.S. National Visa Center, handling the translation and filing specific forms, as well as helping to prepare for a final interview at the Embassy.
Efficiency and a systemised individual approach
SBL corporation has proprietary systems and processes in place for higher efficiency and top results. SBL owns a unique approach for case evaluation and immigration strategy, allowing significant cost and time cuts for our clients.
When every law firm continues to rely on industry-standard attorney consultations, we do not provide them. We review case potential via a profile evaluation form, and deliver this service completely free of charge. The reason why we do this evaluation for free is that we filter potential clients for viability before financial commitments. Profile evaluations are a great tool for anyone considering immigrating to the USA. This option is not available at the majority of legal firms, where you have to pay for a review even if your profile does not fit the criteria.
Upon receiving a free profile assessment at SBL, a client faces the next step dilemma — building an immigration strategy. So the standard for the legal industry is still the same; strategy is made based on individual consultations, which can last hours and become very costly. SBL takes a different turn, presenting more than a strategy, but a Complex Immigration Planning (CIP), accessible to everyone at a minimum cost of 400 USD. More importantly, this cost is deducted from your future legal contract if you decide to work with us on your case filing and petition.
Technological innovation and process improvements
At SBL, we integrate technology to streamline processes and enhance the client experience. The cases we are working on can be quite large in volume, so we use specifically designed templates and forms, guarded by top-notch IT security to structure large amounts of information.
We always seek feedback from our clients, which allows us to adapt case management systems to further improve communication, accessibility, and efficiency. For these goals, SBL uses its system of information management, designed by our team. SBL corporate instruments include our unique enhancements for a stronger case, including a four-layered document check to guarantee the case filing is made in full accordance with official requirements.
SBL’s four different types of legal services for complete case filing and petitioning allow our clients time and money flexibility. Depending on the contract option chosen, you will have to spend more or less time on the routine tasks. The premium solution in this range has proven itself to be the most popular, as it frees the client’s schedule the most.
The core values of the company are always part of its reputation. On its 10th anniversary, we can say that we are known on the market for both the quality legal competence and unique insights in the U.S. talent and business immigration niche, and the highest standards in client service. Our office in Florida is open as per the USA business hours, and the SBL team operates globally with 24/7 support from different time zones and geo locations.
