VisaNow.AI combines AI document preparation with independent immigration attorneys. You get structured guidance, organized evidence, and attorney review.
Check My Eligibility for Free
The eligibility check takes about 12 minutes. You answer questions about your degrees, publications, awards, leadership roles, and salary. We map your answers against the criteria USCIS actually uses for O-1, EB-1A, and EB-2 NIW. At the end you see which categories your background can support, which criteria you likely meet, and where the case is thin and needs work before filing.
The check is free, the report is yours regardless of whether you continue, and no attorney sees it unless you ask them to. If you do not pass, we tell you why and what would need to change. That is more useful than a generic "thank you for your interest."
Based on the eligibility output, we match you with an independent immigration attorney from the partner network. Match logic favors attorneys whose recent case load looks like yours, not whoever is least busy that week. You take a 30-minute consult, the attorney reviews your file, and you both decide whether to file.
The attorney can say no. Good ones do this regularly when the evidence is thin or the framing will not survive current USCIS standards. A no in the consult saves you the government filing fee and three months of work. If the answer is yes, you sign a retainer with the attorney directly. That retainer is what creates the attorney-client relationship. VisaNow.AI is not party to it.
This is the heavy lift and where most of the timeline goes. You upload evidence into the workspace. We generate the exhibit list, draft reference-letter templates with prompts specific to each recommender, track which documents are missing, and flag inconsistencies before the attorney sees them. When the attorney requests a revision, the workspace shows exactly what changed and why.
Most cases hit a wall somewhere in step 3. A reference letter writer goes dark for two weeks. A citation tracker shows fewer hits than expected. A "leading role" claim turns out to be hard to document because the company restructured. This is normal. We have a process for each of these specific failure modes because we have seen them dozens of times.
Anonymized case. A founder of a 30-person AI startup wanted to file EB-1A in two months. After the consult, the attorney said the "critical role" criterion needed an independent letter from someone at a comparable Series B company confirming the role's significance. The founder did not know anyone at that level personally. We helped him draft a cold outreach to three industry contacts using a template tuned for USCIS-relevant letters, and one of them agreed within ten days. Filed in week eleven, approved on first review.
The attorney does the final review, signs the cover letter, and files the petition with USCIS. From this point forward, every communication with USCIS goes through the attorney. We keep the document trail organized so if a Request for Evidence arrives, the attorney is not hunting for the original exhibits. They are already indexed and tagged.
Standard processing for I-140 currently runs roughly 6 to 14 months depending on service center. Premium processing (Form I-907, $2,965 as of March 2026) brings the adjudication clock to 15 business days. Premium speeds adjudication, not outcome. An RFE during premium restarts the 15-day clock after you respond.
Eligibility check is 12 minutes. Attorney consult is usually scheduled within a week. Document preparation is anywhere from four to eight weeks for clean cases, several months for cases with evidence gaps. USCIS adjudication is 15 business days with premium processing, 6 to 14 months without. Total realistic timeline from first consult to approval: about three months with premium, eight to fifteen months without.
Yes, and for some cases that is the right move. The platform earns its fee when there is a lot of evidence to organize, multiple recommenders to coordinate, or a deadline that does not allow for attorney hours on document prep. A simple O-1 renewal with one employer and three exhibits does not need us.
You keep the eligibility report and any documents you uploaded. You can revisit when something material has changed: a new publication, a new role, a new award, a year of additional work in the field. We do not bill again for the next consult.
The attorney. Always. We never tell anyone whether to file. That is a legal decision and it belongs to a licensed lawyer who has reviewed your file.
12 minutes, free, and at the end you know whether the case is even worth a consult.
