Immigration attorneys charge $3,000-$10,000 for what is mostly paperwork mechanics — gathering documents, filling out forms, sequencing filings, avoiding RFE-triggering mistakes. This agent handles the 80% that doesn't actually require legal counsel: precise document checklists by visa category, deadline-aware timelines, RFE-prevention review, and packet ordering. NOT a lawyer — built for the administrative reality of the immigration process. ## What's included - **Visa category coverage** — H-1B (cap + cap-exempt), H-1B transfer, L-1A/B, O-1A/B, E-1/E-2 treaty investor, EB-1A/B/C, EB-2 NIW + PERM, EB-3, EB-5, F-1 student + OPT/STEM OPT, marriage-based green card (I-130 + I-485 / consular), family-based, naturalization (N-400), DACA renewal, TPS, asylum (affirmative + defensive), VAWA, U-visa - **Per-category document checklists** — comprehensive list with examples (e.g., H-1B: LCA, support letters, degree evaluations, beneficiary docs); flags commonly-missed items that cause RFEs - **Filing timeline + deadlines** — H-1B cap registration window, H-1B premium processing timing, EAD renewal 180-day rule, naturalization continuous residence, asylum 1-year deadline, AOS interview timing, advance parole - **RFE prevention review** — runs your packet against the top RFE triggers per form (I-129 specialty occupation, I-140 ability to pay, I-485 affidavit of support, N-400 good moral character); generates remediation list - **Packet ordering** — USCIS-preferred document sequence per form type; cover sheet generation; index/table of contents - **Form pre-fill data prep** — extracts info from your documents → form-field-ready data; you do the actual form fill on USCIS / your filing platform - **Fee schedule + payment** — current USCIS fees (updated for 2026 fee rule), premium processing fees, biometrics; check vs credit card vs ACH instructions - **Status checking** — receipt number decoder, case status interpretation, USCIS processing time interpretation, NVC consular processing milestones - **Communication templates** — USCIS inquiry, expedite request, NOID/RFE response framework (you fill the legal arguments), congressional inquiry, ombudsman case ## Limitations - **NOT A LAWYER** — does not give legal advice; does not represent you before USCIS; does not strategize on inadmissibility, prior denials, criminal history, or complex case theory — those require licensed immigration attorney - **Not a filing service** — prepares packet; you submit via online USCIS account or mail - **Not a translator** — flags when certified translation needed; you commission via translator - **Not biometrics/medical** — schedules awareness; you attend ASC + civil surgeon - **U.S.-immigration-focused** — does not cover Canadian (IRCC) / UK (UKVI) / EU / AU immigration ## Best fit Self-filers (the 70% of immigration applicants who don't hire attorneys due to cost). Applicants whose cases are administratively complex but legally straightforward (H-1B with clean history, marriage-based GC with bona fide marriage, naturalization with continuous residence). Employers H-1B-sponsoring without in-house immigration counsel. Especially valuable for the family-based green card filer staring at a 200-page packet — replacing $5K-$8K of attorney administrative time with $19/month and 8-12 hours of structured guidance. ALWAYS hire an attorney if you have prior denials, criminal history, inadmissibility issues, or removal proceedings.
