Organizing the Proprietary Knowledge Immigration Case
Proving specialized knowledge means building two independent evidence records: one for the foreign role, one for the U.S. role. US Immigration AI keeps that work attached to one case record instead of scattered across separate files.

What's Included
What the Platform Handles for L-1B Cases

- Blanket & Individual Petition Tracking
New office petitions get an initial one year period; established office transfers get three years. Both statuses, and their extension requirements, stay visible on the same case record.
- Document Collection Portal
Employers and beneficiaries upload supporting documents, org charts, and job descriptions through a shared portal instead of email threads. Your team sees what's missing without asking.
- Petition Drafting Support
Case details collected during intake carry over into the petition draft. That cuts down on manual re-entry and transcription errors across every form tied to the case.
- 7-Year Cap & Time Tracking
Time spent toward the seven year maximum is tracked per case. That's separate from the five year cap that applies to L-1B. Your team can check standing at any point without pulling out a calendar.
- EB-1C Case History Continuity
Staffing counts, org structure, and decision-authority evidence collected for the L-1A stay attached to the client's record. If an EB-1C filing comes later, that evidence is already organized under the same file.
- Attorney Review Workflow
Every L-1A case routes to a licensed attorney for review before filing. The platform organizes and flags the file; your attorneys make the legal call.
Why US Immigration AI?
Built for Immigration Law, Not Adapted From General Case Management
The platform tracks what actually matters on an L-1B case, like blanket versus individual status and the five year cap. It doesn't bend generic case fields to fit immigration work.
One System From Intake Through Filing
Intake, document collection, petition drafting, and case assembly run on the same platform. Specialized knowledge evidence collected early carries through to the final packet without re-entry.
Built Around the Proprietary-vs-Generic Line
Specialized knowledge is a genuinely subjective standard. Generic case tools don't distinguish proprietary knowledge from ordinary skill. The platform's evidence checks are built around that exact line.
The Difference
Managing L-1B Cases Without US Immigration AI
Proprietary vs. generic knowledge evidence assembled from scratch for each case
Blanket vs. individual filing status, and which standard applies, tracked in spreadsheets
Recalculating time abroad and the 5-year cap by hand
Re-checking petition details before filing, case by case
No single view of the transfer pipeline

How an L-1B Case Moves Through the Platform
- Establish the Specialized Knowledge Basis
The case identifies what makes the employee's knowledge proprietary and company specific. Evidence connects that knowledge to the foreign and U.S. roles independently, since USCIS checks continuity between the two.
- Determine Blanket or Individual Filing
The case is flagged by whether the employer has an active blanket petition. If so, it also flags whether the higher specialized knowledge professional standard applies.
- Collect Supporting Documents
Financials, employment verification, and job descriptions are uploaded through the shared portal. Your team sees what's outstanding without asking.
- Draft the Petition
Intake and specialized knowledge evidence carry over into the petition draft. That cuts down on manual re-entry once drafting starts.
- Route for Attorney Review
A licensed attorney reviews the complete file before anything is filed. This is the last checkpoint before submission.
- File & Track Post Approval
The petition is submitted to USCIS, or the beneficiary proceeds to consular processing under an approved blanket petition. Extensions, time recapture, and the five year cap stay tracked for as long as the case is active.

Before You File
What Separates Specialized Knowledge From Ordinary Skill
Widely taught skills, common programming languages, industry standard methodologies
A job description written like a standard HR posting
Knowledge that doesn't clearly carry over from the foreign role to the U.S. role
Generally Available Knowledge (Doesn't Qualify)
Specialized Knowledge (Qualifies)
Knowledge tied to the company's own products, processes, or systems
A role description showing what this employee knows that an outside hire wouldn't
Knowledge shown to apply directly to both the foreign and U.S. positions
Most of the questions firms ask before bringing an L-1A case onto the platform trace back to this same distinction: between describing the role and proving it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the platform determine whether a role qualifies as managerial or executive?
No. The platform organizes the evidence supporting a personnel manager or function manager argument. A licensed attorney makes the legal determination and reviews every case before filing.
How is L-1A different from L-1B?
L-1A covers managerial or executive transfers, with a maximum stay of seven years. L-1B covers specialized knowledge transfers, capped at five years. The evidence each case type needs is different: L-1A turns on organizational authority, L-1B turns on proprietary knowledge.
Does the platform file the L-1A petition with USCIS?
No. The platform prepares and organizes the petition for filing. Submission happens as part of your firm's normal filing workflow, with an attorney signing off first.
Does a new office petition work differently from an established office transfer?
Yes. A new office petition receives an initial period of one year instead of three. The extension requires evidence that the U.S. operation has developed enough to support the managerial or executive role, and the platform tracks this status separately from standard renewals.
How does document collection work for L-1A cases?
Employers and beneficiaries upload documents through a shared portal built into the platform. Your team always knows what's outstanding without having to ask.
Does the platform track eligibility for an EB-1C green card?
No, eligibility isn't determined by the platform. The L-1A case history stays connected for when a client pursues EB-1C, and a licensed attorney evaluates eligibility independently.
Is client data secure?
Yes. The platform maintains SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification, and every account uses multi-factor authentication and role-based access control. Files are encrypted and access is logged for audit. AI processing also runs on a zero-data-retention basis: files are read only to complete the specific task at hand, never used to train models, and never shared across firms.
What does it cost?
US Immigration AI is priced at $97 per application or $997 per month for unlimited use.
Does an attorney review every L-1A case before it's filed?
Yes, always. No L-1A case reaches filing without a licensed attorney's sign-off.
