O-1A Extraordinary Ability
An AI researcher builds the system that reads your record. An ex-Kirkland attorney signs the filing. Approved, or your money back. No questions asked.
The AI half
All eight regulatory criteria scored against what you have, with the evidence shown for each and the standard it is measured against. The petition assembles as you upload. The brief drafts with the exhibit numbers already in it. Built by an AI researcher, not bought from a vendor.
The Big Law half
Columbia Law, then mergers and acquisitions at Kirkland and Ellis in New York, then in-house at a startup filing O-1 petitions for founders and employees. Every line is read by her before it goes out, and she answers your questions herself.
Work visas and permanent residence for founders and the people they hire.
The one we have built the deepest. A free assessment reads all eight regulatory criteria against your record, and the petition assembles in front of you as the evidence arrives.
Change of status against consular processing, requests for evidence, extensions, and what happens when a decision does not go your way. These are the stages most firms stop talking about once the petition is in.
The same work for the people you hire. Counsel here has filed O-1 petitions for employees as well as founders.

The two of us came from


Kirkland & EllisWhy this exists
I went to ten or fifteen immigration firms. Most charge $250 to $350 just to tell you whether you have a case. I spent about three thousand dollars, and a lot of evenings, collecting opinions.
Then two well known visa agencies, and eventually one of the best regarded immigration firms in the country.
Small questions took days to come back. That is the part nobody warns you about. There is an asymmetry of anxiety. Your status is your life, your job, whether you can visit your family. For them it is volume, and most of the people working on it have never been through it themselves.
When the petition came back, I found mistakes in it. So I built an AI agent to check it. That agent is this company.

The O-1A guarantee
We only take cases we think should be approved, which is why the assessment is free and why we will tell you to wait if waiting is the right call. If we take yours and USCIS does not approve it, you get every dollar of our fee back. No questions asked, no forms, no conversation you have to win.

What you actually see
A petition is an argument built out of documents. So the draft and the documents sit side by side, and every claim is one tap from the exhibit that supports it, highlighted at the line. Try it.
Petition draft
The beneficiary has made original contributions of major significance to the field of computer science. He designed and shipped a distributed inference system now serving production traffic at scale, work that was independently covered in national legal and technology press. His research on low-latency retrieval was accepted at a peer-reviewed venue and has been cited by researchers outside his own institution.
Source exhibit
Led architecture and delivery of a distributed inference platform. System serves production traffic across three regions at peak load, with sub-100ms p95 latency. Team of six engineers reporting into the role.
The assessment
O-1A asks you to satisfy at least three of the eight. The assessment reads your resume, searches the public record for you, and tells you which three you already have, which are close, and what is missing.
8 CFR 214.2(o)(3)(iii)(B)· three of eight required
Process
That is the only required field. Add a resume and answer six questions if you want a sharper read. No account needed.
All eight criteria scored against your record, each with the evidence found for it, the regulatory standard behind it, and an honest note on what is missing.
Talk to Jiyun and Monica directly about which criteria to build the case around, and what to go collect before anything is filed. If the answer is wait, we will tell you to wait.
The petition assembles as you upload, exhibit by exhibit, with the forms filled from your answers and counsel reviewing every line before it goes out.
Who you work with
Not a ticket queue and not a paralegal reading from a script. You get both of them directly: the founder who has already been the client on an O-1A, and the lawyer. Ask either one anything, including the small procedural questions nobody writes down.

Founder, AI researcher
AI researcher. BS and MS in computer science at Duke, and time in its robotics lab. Approved for his own O-1A after fifteen firms, slow replies, and a petition that came back with mistakes in it. Now builds what he wanted then.
BS and MS, Computer ScienceAsk him what the process actually feels like month to month, how to ask a recommender without it being awkward, and what to check in a petition before it goes out.

Counsel
Columbia Law School JD. Two and a half years in mergers and acquisitions at Kirkland & Ellis in New York, then in-house at a startup handling the full range a company needs, including immigration. She has filed O-1 petitions for founders and for employees.
Juris Doctor
Mergers and acquisitions, New YorkAsk her which criteria your record can carry, whether your company or an agent should petition, and anything on your record you are worried about.
Upload your resume and your LinkedIn. You will get a criterion-by-criterion assessment back, including the parts you will not want to hear.
Free, and there is no commitment attached to it.
