Which category might fit?
Answer two questions to see the categories we usually review first for a profile like yours. This is a starting point for a consultation, not a legal opinion.
From first call to filing.
A typical employment-based petition follows these stages. Timelines depend on the category, premium processing and how quickly evidence comes together.
Assessment
We review your résumé, company records and goals, then recommend categories with the strengths and risks of each.
Evidence plan
You get a checklist tied to each legal criterion, and we draft requests for expert and support letters.
Drafting
We write the petition letter and legal brief, assemble exhibits and send everything to you for review.
Filing and follow-up
We file, track the case, and prepare any RFE response and the next step, such as adjustment or consular processing.
