Attorney Review Before You File
Filing your own EB2-NIW, EB-1 A or O-1 Petition?
Don’t File Blind. Have an Attorney Read and Review Your Petition First.
You’ve spent weeks, maybe months, building your EB-2 NIW, EB-1A, or O-1 petition. Before you hand it to USCIS, have a licensed immigration attorney review it from the perspective of the officer who will actually decide your case.
The Record You File Is the
Record You Live With
- Once your petition is submitted, the record is largely set. You cannot add new information after filing, and when responding to a Request for Evidence, you are limited to addressing what the officer asks about. You do not get to start over.
- USCIS data shows that a significant share of employment-based self-petitions receive Requests for Evidence, and the issues that trigger them are almost always present in the initial submission. By the time an RFE arrives, the weaknesses are already baked in
- A pre-filing review is a practical opportunity to catch those issues while you still have room to fix them.
What You Get
A written issue-spotting memo prepared by an attorney identifying:
- Gaps in evidence measured against the legal standard.
- Inconsistencies across your documents.
- Areas that are underdeveloped or unsupported.
- Potential triggers for a Request for Evidence.
- Structural weaknesses in how the case is framed.
Your materials are read by a human attorney. Nothing is processed through AI tools.
Who This Is For
- Applicants who have drafted their own EB-2 NIW, EB-1A, or O-1 petition and want a professional set of eyes on it before filing.
- People with a near-final draft who want quality control.
- Self-filers who want to reduce risk without retaining full representation.
- Anyone who used AI tools to help draft their petition and wants a real attorney to review the output.

How It Works
You upload your near-final draft. We run a conflict check. You sign a limited-scope engagement agreement. An attorney reviews your materials from the perspective of a USCIS officer. Your written memo arrives.
What This Service Is Not
This is a limited-scope document review. We do not draft, rewrite, or prepare your petition. We do not communicate with USCIS. We do not handle form selection or filing. Your petition should be near final when you submit it for review.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
You can request a consultation. Full representation is a separate engagement with its own scope, strategy, and fee structure. The review does not automatically convert into representation, but it can be a useful starting point if you decide to move forward with counsel.
