Real-Time Paralegal Assistance with Employer Ability-to-Pay Issues in I-140 Petitions

John and Jan are working on an I-140 petition with employer ability-to-pay issues. They rely on their paralegals to gather and verify financial documentation, draft necessary explanations, and prepare the petition quickly.

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

John:
“Jan, this I-140 is coming along, but the employer’s ability to pay could be tricky. How are we handling the financial docs?”

Jan:
“Our paralegals are on it. They’ve already gathered the tax returns, W-2s, and financial statements. They’re double-checking everything and drafting explanations for USCIS.”

John:
“That’s great. How are they managing everything in real-time?”

Jan:
“They’re updating the documents as we go, making sure we have a clear narrative for the adjudicator. They’re also preparing cover letters to tie it all together.”

John:
“Perfect. With them on top of this, we can focus on the legal strategy. This will be ready fast.”

Jan:
“Exactly. Their help is key to keeping everything organized and timely.”
