You have drafted your own O-1, EB-1A or NIW petition. Before it goes to USCIS, an immigration attorney reads it the way an officer will — criterion by criterion, exhibit by exhibit — and tells you exactly where it breaks and how to fix it.
Review only. You keep the file, you keep control, and you do the filing. We do not take over your case unless you ask us to.
Citation counts are shown, but nothing in the record demonstrates independent impact on the field beyond your own institution.
Four of five articles are about the company, not about you. Two have no listed author.
Two criteria hold. One is repairable with evidence you already have. Six priority fixes, ranked, in the full report.
Most petitions are not denied because the person is unqualified. They are denied because the record does not prove what the person actually did.
The evidence is strong and you want a professional read before you commit to a filing you cannot take back.
The petition letter reads well but nobody has checked whether the exhibits actually support the argument.
You are entitled to a second opinion on a document that will decide where you live. We will give you an honest one.
You need to know what the officer is really asking for and whether the response you have drafted answers it.
Every review produces the same structured report, so nothing gets assessed by mood or by whichever page happened to be open.
Each regulatory criterion you claim is marked documented, at risk, or unsustainable, with the specific exhibit failure named. EB-1A and O-1A under the eight and ten criteria; O-1B on distinction; NIW against all three Dhanasar prongs.
Meeting three criteria is not the same as winning. We assess your record against the second step of the Kazarian analysis, where most well-built petitions actually fall apart.
What is missing, what would fill it, and whether you can realistically obtain it. Each gap is ranked by how much it moves the outcome, not by how easy it is.
Letters are read for independence, specificity, and whether the author is actually positioned to say what they are saying. Template language and circular praise get flagged.
Whether every factual assertion is tied to an exhibit an officer can find in under ten seconds, and whether the argument survives being read out of order.
Whether you are filing in the right category at all, whether premium processing helps you, and whether waiting two months materially improves the case.
Standard turnaround is seven business days from the day your complete package arrives.
Your petition letter, exhibit index, and all exhibits as one PDF, plus the letter in an editable file. Upload link comes with your engagement letter.
We confirm no conflict, confirm the category, and confirm what you want out of the review. Payment is due at this point.
Your file is read against the criteria and against approved petitions in your field. You receive the written findings report before the call, not during it.
A recorded video call to work through the findings, decide what you will fix, and set the order you fix it in. You leave with a written action list.
Flat fees, quoted before you pay. The review is limited-scope work: we review and advise, you file.
Half of what you pay for the review is credited against our full petition fee if you retain the firm within 90 days. The review is designed to help you file it yourself. If it shows the case needs more than that, you are not starting over.
Every file is read by an experienced immigration attorney at Sapochnick Law Firm whose practice is concentrated in extraordinary ability and national interest cases — EB-1A, O-1, and EB-2 NIW. These are the only categories this team works in. The review is not delegated to a paralegal or produced by a form generator.
You are paying for judgment about your specific record, from attorneys who have watched thousands of these cases come back from USCIS. That judgment includes telling you when the case is not ready, or when a different category is the better filing. Nobody benefits from a polished petition that gets denied.
Yes. That is most of the value. A report that tells you everything is fine is worth nothing, and we would rather lose the follow-on work than let you file something that will come back as an RFE or a denial.
Only if you want us to. The review is limited-scope: we review, score, and advise, and you keep the file and do the filing. If you later decide you want the firm to prepare and file the petition, half the review fee is credited toward that engagement for 90 days.
O-1A, O-1B, EB-1A, and EB-2 NIW. We also review RFE and NOID responses in those categories. We do not review family-based or removal matters through this service.
The complete package exactly as you intend to file it: petition letter, exhibit index, and all exhibits combined in a single PDF, plus the petition letter as a Word or Google Doc so it can be marked up. Turnaround starts when the complete package is received, not when you book.
No, and any firm that tells you otherwise is selling something. USCIS officers vary, policy shifts, and the final merits determination is discretionary. What a review does is remove the failure modes that are within your control before an officer sees them.
For the petition as filed, largely yes. But if you are expecting an RFE or have already received one, the RFE response review is the right service, and the response is where most of these cases are actually won.
Request a review and we will confirm the category, run a conflict check, and send your engagement letter and upload link the same business day.
