The horror stories are real.
So is the relief.

Immigration petition drafting is notorious for ballooning costs, lost links, and weekends spent renumbering. We don't hide that — we built the alternative.

The usual nightmare
"I paid $11,000 and waited six weeks for a first draft that was basically a template with my name pasted in."

Engineer, O-1A

The usual nightmare
"My attorney's paralegal emailed me three times asking for links I had already sent. One exhibit was 'Exhibit 17' in the index and 'see attached' in the brief."

Researcher, EB-1A

The usual nightmare
"I spent a whole weekend renumbering citations after adding one new paper. The PDF broke at page 48."

Founder, NIW

With visaworker.ai
"First real draft the same afternoon. My lawyer reviewed the substance instead of fixing formatting for two days."

ML lead, O-1A

With visaworker.ai
"Dropped my Google Scholar links, and the agent pulled the citations into every criterion. The exhibit index was already numbered."

Scientist, EB-1A

With visaworker.ai
"$249 vs. the $9K retainer I was quoted. I used the difference to hire counsel to actually review the filing."

Designer, O-1A

Questions

Questions, answered.

Do I still need a lawyer?

visaworker.ai is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation. The platform is a drafting tool: it structures your evidence, writes criterion-by-criterion arguments, and compiles a filing-ready packet. Many users take that packet to an independent immigration attorney for final review and filing. Others choose to self-file. Either way, the decision about whether your background is ready for USCIS, and whether to proceed with or without counsel, is yours.

Am I qualified for an exceptional ability visa?

The fastest way to find out is to book a free strategy call. We will talk through your field, career stage, evidence of recognition, and timeline, then rank every viable route — O-1A, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and others — with the trade-offs for each. If a route fits, we can start your case prefilled with what you told us. You can also create a free account and run the built-in assessment; the agent will ask the same questions a lawyer asks first and give you an honest read on which petitions are worth pursuing.

What happens on the strategy call?

It is a real voice conversation, not a form. We start with who you are, what you are building or researching, where you are based, and what you want to achieve. Then we walk through the structured questions that determine which visa categories fit: your awards, publications, press, leadership roles, commercial impact, and future plans in the United States. At the end you get a ranked shortlist with trade-offs — for example, O-1A may be faster but requires sustained recognition, while EB-2 NIW is self-sponsored but needs a clearer national-interest story. We currently draft O-1A, EB-1A, and EB-2 NIW petitions; if L-1, E-2, or H-1B make more sense, we will point you to a partner attorney. The call is guidance, not legal advice.

How fast is a first draft?

Most users have a serious first draft the same afternoon they open a case. The agent works in real time: you paste links to papers, patents, press, or profiles, and it captures them as numbered exhibits, then drafts each criterion in your voice with citations already wired in. The first version is rarely final — you will iterate with the agent, add exhibits, and refine the legal argument — but the starting point is usually far enough along that you can see whether the petition is viable within hours, not weeks.

Do you offer refunds or guarantee approval?

You can start for free, which gives you time to assess whether your application is viable before you pay the $249 unlock. We do not offer refunds once a case is opened, because the drafting work is performed immediately and the compiled packet is delivered. We also do not guarantee approval: USCIS decisions depend on facts outside our control, and we do not evaluate whether your background is ready for adjudication — that is between you and your attorney. We are a drafting tool, not a law firm, and not a substitute for legal counsel.

Where does my data go?

Your workspace is isolated to your account and never used to train any model. All traffic is encrypted in transit, and access is scoped per case. You can export your draft and exhibits at any time, and if you delete your account we remove your data according to our retention policy. We use enterprise-grade infrastructure and do not sell or share your information with third parties except as needed to provide the service, such as sending your draft to a partner attorney if you explicitly choose that option.

How does the partner lawyer network work?

We partner with independent immigration law firms who can review and file your draft at a pre-negotiated partner rate. You are never required to use a partner — you can self-file the compiled PDF, and many customers do. If you want attorney review, we introduce you to a firm that matches your route and location; any attorney-client relationship is between you and that firm. visaworker.ai does not supervise or control their work, and we do not take a referral fee that is hidden in your bill.

Can I self-host or use my own API key?

Yes. The core product is open-source and you can run it on your own infrastructure for free, including with your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key. If you prefer the hosted version, you can also bring your own key and pay nothing for model usage. The $249 one-time unlock only applies if you want hosted drafting without supplying your own API key. Companies and law firms can also choose a managed workspace with seats, billing controls, and support.
