H-1B Didn't Select You. There Are Better Paths.

O-1A, EB-2 NIW, and H-1B transfer strategies for tech professionals

Only 30% of H-1B registrations were selected in FY 2025. We've helped 1,800+ engineers pivot to O-1A extraordinary ability visas — which carry a 92% approval rate — or self-petition through the EB-2 National Interest Waiver. No lottery. No employer dependency. We read your case before we quote your options.

Family Sponsorship

Expired Visitor Visa. Separated Family. Solvable.

I-130 petitions, adjustment of status, and waivers for families across borders

An overstayed visitor visa or a denied extension doesn't end the story. We've reunited 900+ families by navigating adjustment of status filings, I-601A unlawful presence waivers, and consular processing. The process has more routes than USCIS's website suggests — we know which route fits your family's timeline.

Sponsoring Your First Foreign Hire Shouldn't Take a Legal Team.

EB-5 investor visas, PERM labor certification, and employer sponsorship

Small business owners face the same PERM labor certification requirements as Fortune 500 HR departments — with none of the in-house counsel. We've managed 500+ employer sponsorships, from the initial prevailing wage determination through I-140 approval, making the process predictable for businesses filing for the first time.

O-1A Extraordinary Ability
I was rejected in the H-1B lottery for the third consecutive year. VisaCounsel mapped me to the O-1A pathway in our first call — I had my approval in 4 months. I didn't know that was even possible for a software engineer.
O-1A Approved — 4 months

Family-Based I-130
My mother's visitor visa expired during COVID. We were told to expect a two-year wait. VisaCounsel found a consular processing route that reunited us in eight months. The clarity they brought to what felt like an impossible situation was worth everything.

Employer Sponsorship
We needed to sponsor our first foreign hire — a logistics software architect from Poland. I had no idea where to start. VisaCounsel handled the entire PERM process and had us through to I-140 approval without a single RFE. I run a 12-person company. I couldn't have done this alone.
PERM + I-140 Approved — no RFE
