Four steps. AI speed, attorney judgment.

AI that does the grunt work. Attorneys who do the legal work.

The unfair advantage no solo attorney can replicate.

Every AI feature in our platform operates under attorney supervision. We've automated the 80% of immigration work that's mechanical — so our attorneys spend 100% of their time on the 20% that actually requires legal judgment.

Enterprise-grade protection

Immigration-grade privacy, by design.

Your passports, financials, and PII are among the most sensitive data that exists. We built our security infrastructure before writing a single line of application code. SOC 2 Type II certified, end-to-end encrypted, and attorney-client privileged.

Your case data never trains any public AI model — not ours, not Anthropic's, not anyone's. Attorney-client privilege means we couldn't use it for training even if we wanted to.

The moat
Why chatbots get people deported — and we don't

An AI tool can't save you. A licensed attorney can.

Dozens of AI immigration tools have flooded the market. Not one of them can sign your petition, respond to a USCIS officer, or put a licensed attorney on the hook. When they're wrong, you lose your visa — and they lose nothing. We built what they can't: an AI platform backed by independent, licensed attorneys who can.

For whom
Built for people who don't fit the old mold

If the old way felt out of reach, this is for you.

Cohort 01

The AI engineer

You shipped a research paper, published a model card on Hugging Face, or led a launch at a recognized AI lab. The post-2023 talent surge means thousands of you qualify for O-1A and don't know it.

Fits: O-1A · EB-1A · EB-2 NIW
Cohort 02

The YC-shaped founder

You raised seed-to-Series-B, hired a critical engineer, and need to sponsor their H-1B without losing twelve weeks to a boutique firm's billables. Or you're the founder, and your own O-1 is overdue.

Fits: O-1A · H-1B
Cohort 03

The academic researcher

You've got publications, citations, peer-review history, and grant funding. You're closer to an EB-1A self-petition than your university's immigration office will tell you, because they only know employer-sponsored work.

Fits: EB-1A · EB-2 NIW

FAQ
Common questions

The honest answers.

Is VisaSherpa.ai a law firm?

No. VisaSherpa.ai is an AI-powered immigration software platform — not a law firm — and we do not provide legal advice. We connect you with independent, bar-licensed immigration attorneys who review and sign your petition and act as your counsel of record. The software is how the work gets done faster; all legal services are provided by the licensed attorney you engage.

Who actually reads my petition? An AI or a person?

Both — and that combination is our edge. First, our industry-first immigration AI, trained on 10,000+ real visa outcomes, builds your petition: it surfaces your strongest arguments, anticipates exactly where cases like yours get challenged, and grounds every claim in real precedent — AILA Policy Memoranda, USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) decisions, and our corpus of prior approvals. This isn't autofill or a template; it's genuine legal intelligence doing the heavy analysis a great attorney would.

Then a bar-licensed immigration attorney reads the entire draft line by line in a review console, sharpens the strategy, asks you any clarifying questions, and signs off as your counsel of record. The attorney is the legally responsible party; the AI makes that attorney faster, sharper, and impossible to out-research. AI intelligence for rigor and speed, an experienced attorney for judgment and accountability.

What happens if USCIS denies my petition?

You get a full refund of your flat fee, processed automatically through Stripe within five business days of the denial notice. Government filing fees paid directly to USCIS are not refundable (those go to the government, not to us), but our portion comes back to you in full.

You also keep your case file. You can take it to another firm or use it to re-file later. We don't hold your data hostage.

Do you handle marriage green cards or family-based immigration?

Yes. We handle family-based immigration — including marriage-based green cards (Form I-130 with I-485 adjustment of status), fiancé(e) K-1 visas, and petitions for spouses and relatives of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. The same engine powers these cases: our immigration AI assembles and pressure-tests your filing, flags the issues that trigger RFEs and interviews, and an independent, bar-licensed immigration attorney reviews and signs every petition.

Tell us about your situation in the free eligibility check and we'll map the right path for you and your family.

What's the AI trained on? Is my data used to train it?

Our proprietary immigration AI is the industry's first intelligence model built specifically for U.S. immigration. It has studied 10,000+ real-world outcomes — complex denials, hard-won approvals, and USCIS & AAO judgments — alongside public AILA Policy Memoranda and precedent decisions. That depth is why it reasons like a seasoned practitioner: it knows which evidence persuades officers, anticipates where petitions typically fail, and grounds every argument in real precedent rather than guesswork.

Your data stays yours. We do not train our AI models on your personal information, your evidence, or your petition — not ever. Your case data is encrypted, SOC 2-controlled, and never used to train any public or third-party model. And where attorney-client privilege applies between you and the attorney you engage, your information is protected further still.

Can I talk to my attorney, or is this all chatbot?

You can. Every paid case gets at least one scheduled video call with your attorney, plus async messaging through the platform. The Concierge subscription includes a dedicated Slack channel with your attorney for faster turnaround on questions. We're not trying to replace the lawyer-client relationship — we're trying to make the lawyer's time go further so the relationship is affordable.
