Founders shipped petitions in days, not months.
Six rec letters drafted in my recommenders' voices, in an hour. Two of my professors said they only changed a single paragraph before signing.
Anya R.
Founder, AI infra (YC W24)
Quoted $22K and 12 weeks by a top immigration firm. VisaPilot took $3K and 11 days. Same outcome — approved on Premium Processing.
Mateo G.
CTO, fintech (Seed $4M)
The evidence-gap analyzer found two criteria I would've left on the table. One press placement and one program-committee invite later, I had a stronger case.

Solo founder, devtools
Questions, answered straight.
Are you a law firm?
No. VisaPilot is a technology company. We do not give legal advice. Every petition we draft is reviewed and signed by a licensed U.S. immigration attorney at one of our partner firms before it is filed with USCIS.
Will my petition actually get approved?
Our internal approval rate across design-partner cases is 95% on first filing (small sample, not a statistic to bet on). USCIS adjudication ultimately depends on your underlying qualifications. We do not promise approval — but we do guarantee a refund if your petition is denied on the Lawyer-Reviewed and White-Glove tiers.
Who writes the recommendation letters?
You and your recommenders, with our AI agent as the first-draft author. The agent reads your profile and drafts each letter in the right register for that recommender's tier (independent, peer, colleague). Your recommender then reviews, edits, and signs.
How fast can I really file?
The median Lawyer-Reviewed case in our design-partner cohort filed 14 days after intake completion. The bottleneck is almost always getting recommenders to send their final signed letters, not us.
Do you handle RFEs?
Yes. The $99/mo monitoring add-on includes one full RFE-response draft. Additional RFEs are billed at $499 per response if needed.
Stop paying $20K to type your own rec letters.
VisaPilot drafts the petition; a partner law firm files it. You get the same outcome at a tenth of the cost, in a tenth of the time.
