Why people choose Abigail

What sets us apart from law firms, form-prep tools, and AI-assisted attorney services.

01

AI drafts, not blanks

Petition narrative, support letter frameworks, and cover letter are generated from your actual facts — substantive output, not templates.

02

Attorney review is optional

Self-serve the full package, or layer on Ivy / BigLaw-trained attorney review. You decide what the case needs — not a billable-hour model.

03

Flat fees, no surprises

Published prices for every case type. No hourly billing, no retainers, no scope creep.

04

You see everything

Every form field, every supporting document, every line of the petition narrative — fully visible before anything is filed in your name.

05

5-day prep target

AI-native preparation runs in parallel with evidence collection. Your package is ready when your last document arrives — not weeks later.

RFE-ready from day one

If a Request for Evidence arrives, the AI already has full case context — making RFE responses faster and more accurate.

Researcher · academia

Postdoc or PI with publications

You have peer-reviewed papers, citations, and probably some peer-review service. The screener will usually surface O-1A and EB-1B / EB-1A as top candidates.

O-1A EB-1B EB-1A EB-2 NIW
Founder · startup

Building a company in the US

Press coverage, fundraising milestones, and product traction are all evidence. Self-petition paths usually win for founders who don't want to be employer-tied.

O-1A EB-1A EB-2 NIW
Engineer · senior IC or lead

Senior engineer at a US company

Strong salary, patents, talks, and open-source contributions can support extraordinary-ability paths — often a faster route than waiting for the H-1B lottery.

O-1A H-1B EB-1A EB-2 NIW
Student · F-1 OPT expiring

OPT clock running out

Most students default to the H-1B lottery. With strong publications, awards, or salary, O-1A may be a viable backup or replacement.

H-1B O-1A Cap-exempt H-1B
Cross-border employee

Transferring within a multinational

If you've worked at a related entity abroad for 1+ year, an intracompany transfer is the cleanest path. L-1A for managers, L-1B for specialized knowledge.

L-1A L-1B
Canadian or Mexican professional

Working under USMCA

If your role is on the TN occupation list and you're a citizen of Canada or Mexico, TN is the fastest and simplest path. Renewable indefinitely.
