Detailed Documentation Guidance

The system provides a checklist of required documents, including employment verification letters, job descriptions, financial statements, and corporate ownership documentation. This helps applicants submit complete and correctly formatted paperwork.

Fee Calculation

The AI calculates relevant government fees, including the I-129 filing fee, fraud prevention fee, premium processing fee, and Public Law 114-113 fee if applicable. This helps applicants budget for their visa applications.

Extension and Renewal Assistance

For those seeking to extend or renew their L1 visas, the AI offers guidance on the necessary steps and documentation, helping to ensure compliance with USCIS regulations.

Comparative Analysis of L1A and L1B Visas

The AI system provides a clear comparison between the L1A and L1B visa categories, helping applicants understand the differences and choose the appropriate category.
