We review and reposition your role, qualifications, and documentation multiple times to align with evolving USCIS expectations and address potential weaknesses early.

Long-Term Case Ownership

Our consultants remain accountable throughout your H-1B journey from strategy and filing to RFEs, audits, and next-step planning rather than treating it as a one-time submission.

Strategy-First, Consultant-Led Execution

We lead with eligibility analysis, role positioning, and evidence strategy before filing so your H-1B petition is built for scrutiny, not just submission.

Our Method

Our 5-Stage H-1B Visa Strategy

We structure job duties to demonstrate specialized knowledge, align wage levels with role complexity, and position the employer–employee relationship clearly for adjudication.

3. Expert-Driven Case Development

A dedicated power team including a Program Manager, Researchers, Writers, and an Attorney handles up to 90% of the workload, including RFE-ready documentation.

4. Attorney-Vetted Filing & Quality Control

Every petition is reviewed by an experienced immigration attorney to ensure accuracy, compliance, and consistency before submission.
