What we check on every case

Why H-1B filings go wrong

The forms look simple. The rules behind them are not, and most of them never appear on the form itself. Every petition we prepare and every case we review is checked against them.

SOC code

The occupation code has to fit the actual duties, not the job title. The wrong code changes the prevailing wage, the expected education level, and whether the job is a specialty occupation at all.

Wage level & SVP

DOL sets the wage level by comparing the job's requirements with what the occupation normally expects (its O*NET Job Zone and SVP range). Extra education, experience or special skills can each push the level up.

Registration must match

Under the wage-weighted lottery, the SOC code, wage level and worksite in the registration must match the LCA and the petition. A mismatch can lead to denial or revocation.

Hard to fix later

A certified LCA can't be edited and a submitted registration can't be changed. Errors found after filing often mean new LCAs, amended petitions, or a lost cap case.

Example

A startup hires a “Data Analyst” and the job posting asks for a master's degree plus three years of experience. HR picks an SOC code, looks up the wage, and registers at Level II. But those requirements are above what the occupation normally expects, so under DOL's wage-level rules the correct level is higher than the one registered and paid. Now the LCA doesn't fit the job, the registration doesn't fit the petition, and USCIS can deny the case after the lottery was already won. Nothing on the forms looks wrong. You only see it if you know the rules behind them.

$600 Independent Case Review

Already have a lawyer? Get a second, independent opinion.

In today's immigration climate, more H-1B cases are questioned, delayed or denied. If you have doubts about how your case is being handled, an attorney with no connection to your employer or its lawyer can review it and tell you plainly where it stands.

H-1B employees

Your employer's lawyer represents the company. You want someone who looks at the case from your side before it's filed, or after something goes wrong.

Employers & HR

You're not sure your current counsel has the strategy right, or you want a check on a high-stakes filing before it goes in.

After an RFE, NOID or denial

You want to know what actually went wrong, whether the response or refiling plan makes sense, and what your options are now.

Flat fee

$600

One flat fee per case. No hourly billing and no obligation to switch lawyers.

IndependentConfidentialReviewed personally by the attorney

We don't contact your employer or its attorney unless you ask us to. This is a limited-scope review of the documents you provide.

  • Petition documentsForm I-129, the LCA, the support letter and the evidence you have, checked for SOC code, wage level and specialty occupation risks.
  • USCIS noticesAny RFE, NOID or denial, read line by line to identify what USCIS actually found missing or wrong.
  • Strategy checkWhether the current plan (respond, refile, amend, transfer or another route) fits the facts and the current rules.
  • Written assessmentA clear summary of risks, ranked by seriousness, with the options available to you and what each one involves.

H-1B employees often don't have every page of the petition. That's fine. We review what you can lawfully share and tell you what else would help.

Startup founders & entrepreneurs

H-1B through your own company.

Since January 2025, founders can hold a controlling stake in the company that sponsors them. It has quickly become one of the most popular ways for international entrepreneurs to build a U.S. company.

Why founders choose it

  • You build your own company instead of waiting for another employer to sponsor you.
  • It fits F-1 and OPT graduates who are starting a company.
  • For founders from countries without E-2 treaty access, including China and India, it is one of the most practical routes.
