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
Blanket or individual filing status stays on the case record. So does whether the higher "specialized knowledge professional" standard applies for blanket cases. Your team checks one place instead of a separate list.
- Document Collection Portal
Employers and beneficiaries upload supporting documents 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.
- 5-Year Cap & Time Recapture Tracking
Time spent toward the five year maximum, plus recapturable time abroad, is tracked per case. That's separate from the seven year cap for L-1A. Your team checks standing anytime, no calculator needed.
- Attorney Review Workflow
Every L-1B 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 Managerial or Executive Capacity Basis
The case identifies whether the personnel manager or function manager argument applies. Evidence builds around subordinate staffing, org structure, and decision authority.
- Determine New Office or Established Office Status
The case is flagged as either a new office petition, subject to the one year initial period, or an established office transfer. That status carries through to every later extension.
- Collect Supporting Documents
Org charts, job descriptions, and employment verification are uploaded through the shared portal. Your team sees what's outstanding without asking.
- Draft the Petition
Intake and capacity 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 once approved. Extensions, time toward the seven year cap, and EB-1C eligibility flags 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

Specialized Knowledge
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
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the platform determine whether a role qualifies as managerial or executive?
No. The platform organizes the evidence distinguishing proprietary from generally available knowledge. A licensed attorney makes the legal determination and reviews every case before filing.
How is L-1B different from L-1A in terms of duration?
L-1B allows a maximum stay of five years, compared to L-1A's seven. An employee promoted to a qualifying managerial or executive role can potentially change status to L-1A to access the longer period.
Does the platform file the L-1B 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.
Can L-1B cases use a blanket petition?
Yes. Blanket based cases must meet the higher "specialized knowledge professional" standard: a bachelor's degree, on top of specialized knowledge. Individual filings don't carry that same degree requirement.
How does document collection work for L-1B 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.
Are extensions and amendments supported for L-1B cases?
Yes. Extension and amendment filings run through the same case record as the original petition, so supporting evidence and case history carry forward instead of starting over.
Is client data secure?
Yes. The platform holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification. Every account requires multi-factor authentication and role-based access control. Files are encrypted, and access is logged for audit. AI processing runs on a zero-data-retention basis: files are read only to complete the 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-1B case before it's filed?
Yes, always. No L-1B case reaches filing without a licensed attorney's sign-off.
