Where are you in the process?
Six situations cover most of the calls we take. Find the one that sounds like you and go straight to the detail.
“I have a job offer, or I’m being transferred.”
H-1B, L-1, O-1, TN and E-3. Your employer or agent files the petition, and the case is built on the role, your qualifications and the company's own records.
Work visa documentation“I want to study in the U.S.”
F-1 and M-1 documentation, financial evidence, and the CPT and OPT paperwork that follows once you are here.
Student visa documentation“I’m investing or expanding my business here.”
B-1 business trips, E-1 trade, E-2 investment and L-1 transfers. In these cases the corporate, financial and ownership record is the case.
Business visa documentation“I’m ready for permanent residence.”
Family, employment and investor routes: I-130, PERM and I-140, self-petitions such as EB-1A and EB-2 NIW, EB-5, and the adjustment or consular step that follows.
Green card documentation“I’m already here and need to switch status.”
Visitor to student, student to worker, worker to dependent. I-539 and I-129 filings, with your filing window checked before anything else.
Change of status“I just became a U.S. citizen.”
Indian renunciation and surrender certificate, then OCI registration for you, and first OCI cards for children born here.
OCI & renunciationHiring or moving people as a company?
We support U.S. employers with Form I-9 and E-Verify processes, and HR teams moving several employees at once through global mobility documentation.

Documentation is the whole business
Preparing complete, consistent petition files is what we do all day. It is not a side service bolted onto something else.
Every file is checked twice
Nothing leaves our desk on one person's read. Forms, evidence and dates are checked against your checklist a second time before you see the package.
Flat fees, quoted in writing
You see the scope and the price before work starts. Government fees are separate and you pay them directly.
An honest first answer
If your facts don't support the route you came in asking about, we tell you at the consultation, not after you've paid.
One file that follows you
Extensions, dependents, a change of status, a green card years later. Each one starts from a record we already hold, so names, dates and job titles stay consistent.
Built on the assumption there may be no second chance
Under USCIS policy updated in August 2026, officers may deny a filing that is missing required evidence without first sending a Request for Evidence, and response windows are shorter (USCIS Policy Manual, Vol. 1, Part E, Ch. 6). We assemble every package as if it has to stand on its own.
In-House Advantage
An expert panel for cases that turn on expert opinion
O-1, EB-1, EB-2 NIW, P and L-1B specialized-knowledge cases often depend on independent expert opinion letters. We don't start that search from scratch when your case arrives. We keep a panel of 350+ professors and industry experts across science, engineering, medicine, business, the arts and athletics.

Professors and industry experts across science, engineering, medicine, business, the arts and athletics.
Matched to your field
A letter carries weight when the author's standing is relevant to your work. Matching comes first.
Evidence mapped to criteria
We index what you have against what the category actually asks for, then tell you plainly where the file is thin.
One story across the package
Same facts, same figures, same job titles in every document. Contradictions read as credibility problems.
Expert letters are one piece of evidence among many. No letter or provider can guarantee an outcome; USCIS and the consulates decide every case.
Working Process
Four steps, no surprises
For timing, we send you to the official USCIS processing times tool rather than promise a date.
Free consultation
Your situation, your dates, and an honest read on which routes are open.
Written scope & flat quote
What we will prepare and what it costs, agreed before any work or payment.
Documents & drafting
A checklist built for you, then drafting, indexing and an internal second review.
Your review, then filing
Nothing goes anywhere until you have read and approved it. Afterwards we track notices and help you prepare documents for any RFE.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
No. NAIS is an immigration documentation service. We do not give legal advice or represent anyone before a government agency. If your situation needs a lawyer, we will tell you so plainly at the consultation.
About 20 minutes on your situation, your dates and the documents you already have. You leave knowing which routes your facts appear to support and what we would prepare. If you want to go ahead, we send a written scope and a flat quote.
One flat documentation fee, quoted in writing before any work starts. There is no hourly billing. Government filing fees are separate and you pay them directly to the agency.
No, and nobody honestly can. USCIS, the Department of Labor and the consulates decide every case. What we control is whether the file in front of them is complete and consistent.
No. Most clients work with us remotely by phone, video and secure document upload. If you are in the New York area, you are welcome to meet us at the office by appointment.
It depends on the category, the office handling it and current workloads. We point you to the official USCIS processing-times tool rather than quote a number nobody can stand behind.
