How Our Paralegals Manage I-140 Petition Preparation for Attorneys?

Two top immigration attorneys are reviewing an EB-2, I-140 case. The job qualifies, but the employer’s financials raise concerns. With deadlines looming and risk of an RFE, they rely on their dedicated virtual paralegal team to prepare accurate forms, gather evidence, and draft compelling support letters – freeing the attorneys to focus solely on legal strategy and client success.

A Conversation Between Two Top Attorneys: John Doe and Jan Doe:

John Doe:
“This EB-2 case is solid on qualifications, but have you seen the employer’s tax returns? Low net income, inconsistent W-2s, it’s a classic ability-to-pay concern. We’re inviting a Request for Evidence if we don’t package this right.”

Jan Doe:
“I saw that. But don’t worry – I’ve already sent it to our I-140 paralegal team. They’re digging into the financials, checking consistency across prior filings, and drafting the employer support letter. They’ll format it to highlight the employer’s total compensation structure, just like they did for the logistics firm last month.”

John:
“That one got approved without an RFE, right?”

Jan:
“Exactly. The paralegal caught that the company had fluctuating net income but strong cash reserves, and included supporting statements from the CFO. USCIS didn’t ask a single question.”

John:
“That’s the kind of thinking we need – not just box-checking. Honestly, I used to spend five or six hours just prepping these files. Reviewing LCA details, matching SOC codes, checking for job title mismatches…”

Jan:
“I know. Now, we just review and refine. They send us everything – organized folders, labeled exhibits, completed I-140 forms. We focus on strategy and review, not grunt work.”

John:
“I can’t imagine going back to doing it all myself. They even remind me about deadlines now.”

Jan:
“And if there’s an RFE? They already have a draft waiting. Honestly, these I-140 petition preparation services are like having an elite in-house paralegal, without the overhead.”

John:
“Agreed. Let’s file this one confidently – and move on to the H-1B cap cases without losing momentum.”
