We were the customer.
VisaPilot was started by a founder going through his own O-1. After paying a top immigration firm $22,000 and spending three months typing his own recommendation letters in Google Docs, the math became obvious: the work that mattered — the legal judgment — was about 5% of the bill. The remaining 95% was paralegal drafting that a language model can now do at superhuman speed.
So we built that paralegal. It reads your CV, maps every line item to the 8 O-1A regulatory criteria, and drafts your letters in each recommender's voice. A partner law firm then reviews and signs the petition — same outcome as the $22K firm, in a fraction of the time, at a tenth of the cost.
What we believe
The U.S. immigration system is a giant filter on global talent. It is also the part of American infrastructure that has changed the least in the last 30 years. Every additional week of paperwork is a week a founder isn't building. We are here to compress that interval.
Who we are
Engineers and immigration lawyers. The technology team has shipped AI systems at hyperscale; the legal team has filed petitions for some of the largest tech firms in the U.S. We are a small, full-stack team and we treat every petition like it's our own.
What we are not
We are not a law firm. We do not give legal advice. We are a software company that partners with independent licensed attorneys, who carry their own malpractice insurance and own the legal responsibility for every filing.
