The full story of Guido

3 min

When Guido Tagliavini started exploring his visa options in the US, he stumbled upon a tool that would point him toward the best US visa route for him. That initial encounter left a lasting impression: “My first experience with Tukki was via the Visa Match Tool. It was very intuitive, clean, and smooth,” says Guido.

Uncovering an EB-1A visa opportunity

When Guido began his US visa process, he didn’t expect to qualify for an EB-1A visa.

“I didn’t know I would be eligible for it; that was a complete surprise. I always assumed the EB-1 was for people who’d won Nobel Prizes or Pulitzers,” he admits.

No chasing lawyers

Guido’s interactions with Tukki’s platform deepened his appreciation for the US immigration service. “The technology always felt polished, well thought-out, and carefully planned. You can see the Savely (Tukki’s CTO) touch in there,” he shares.

The streamlined workflows have been designed to create a hassle-free user experience, with no room for errors, and Guido picked up on every detail: “Tukki’s flows make it impossible to upload information with inconsistencies, which I absolutely love,” he adds. Small details make a big impact.

“I never experienced a session timeout with Tukki, and I never had to log in again unexpectedly. Those seem like small things, but they’re important.”

Building trust through excellent service

From the outset, Tukki’s commitment to accuracy and customer care reassured Guido. Adding to this, having Tukki’s legal team review every detail before proceeding further reassured him.

“The communication was excellent. I really appreciated how quick and easy it was to reach the paralegals and lawyers. Being able to send a message and get an answer in a matter of minutes or hours helped relieve a lot of anxiety,” he reflects.

Guido’s experience has set a high bar for any future legal collaborations: He told us he hopes that the next time he works with a lawyer, if it’s not Tukki, he can replicate this experience.

Falling in love with his adoptive home

Needless to say, this US visa hopeful hopes to stay in the US long-term now that he has completed his PhD in Computer Science. Far beyond personal gain, Guido’s goals align with contributing to the US: “This country has invested in my education. Now it’s time for me to give back to the economy,” he reflects.

His plans include using his Computer Science PhD working in hardware–software co-design at Google, and completing his STEM Optional Practical Training.

A seamless path to EB-1A visa success

Guido’s journey with Tukki highlights the value of a well-designed platform combined with exceptional service. By leveraging Tukki’s technology and legal expertise, he not only secured his EB-1A visa but also enjoyed a smooth and reassuring process. For Guido, Tukki set a new standard in immigration support—one that’s polished, intuitive, and profoundly impactful.

Tukki team’s support was fast and responsive. I literally had someone responding in a couple of hours—sometimes even within minutes—so whenever I was a bit lost, there was always someone to help me out.
