Your visa shouldn’t put your plans on hold.

01

Opaque

Most founders can’t tell which visa they qualify for — or how strong their case really is.

02

Unpredictable

Open-ended scopes and hourly billing make the total cost hard to know in advance.

03

Slow

Evidence gathering drags on for months across email threads and shared folders.

We built a different way to get your petition filed.

Don’t buy legal hours.Buy completed work.

You’re paying for a well-prepared petition, filed — not for the hours someone spent assembling it.

Five visas. One accountable team.

Founder and talent visas, each scoped, priced and owned by a licensed attorney before work starts — plus a strategy review when you’re not sure which fits.

All services

AI does the work. Attorneys own the judgment.

AI doesn’t replace immigration lawyers here. It handles the evidence and the paperwork — so attorney time goes to strategy, argument and the filing itself.
