- "Approval or Refund®"
When we review your credentials and decide you have significant objective credentials such that we are certain your case will be approved with our assistance, your case will be prepared under our "Approval or Refund®" service where if the case is denied, the attorney fee will be refunded. The refund policy is specified in the retainer agreement and is legally binding to us. - "Approval or Refund®" with Conditions"
Some clients have good credentials and great potential of a strong case but still lack certain credentials for their case to be 100% safe. In this situation, we provide guidelines for them to improve their credentials and put a condition in the retainer agreement. If the condition can be met, our refund policy will apply. If the condition cannot be met, the client can use our regular service. - "Regular"
As a firm with close to 99% of approval rate, we only take cases we see a good chance of approval. Sometimes, the nature of a petition makes it difficult for us to determine if the case is strong enough to be approved. For example, we generally are not able to review all business documents for an EB1C (Multinational Executive and Manager) case at the stage of free evaluation so we can only provide our regular service for EB1C cases. In another situation, we do not see overwhelmingly strong objective credentials of the case but believe with our assistance, the potential client still has a good chance of case approval. - Recommendation Letters Drafting Service
For EB-1B and O1 cases, some employers do not allow outside law firms to prepare the entire petition package and file the case. In this case, we can provide the service of drafting up to seven recommendation letters to support your case. If you retain us for this service, we will provide consultation help you pick experts supporting your case, drafting up to seven recommendation letters, and revising the recommendation letters to your satisfaction.
