Consulting company special issues

The USCIS has recently changed their approach to H-1b visas sponsored by consulting companies.   This is largely due to the high rate of perceived fraud that the USCIS found involving certain consulting companies.   Unfortunately, they now view all consulting companies in the same light as the few bad apples and have started issuing massive, boiler plate requests for evidence that ask for everything under the sun and more. 

Our firm has found that our formula for filing H1b petitions for consulting clients has had success.   Our formula is based on both a thorough understanding of the regulations as well as our experiences with recently filed cases.  We monitor trends and take note of what they USCIS has requested in other cases and this allows us to apply those trends to our current filings.    

We have found that a lot of adjudicator’s do not understand how consulting companies work and what documents can be produced by middle layer vendors and end-clients.  With this in mind, we try to simplify the presentation of the evidence so that nothing is overlooked unintentionally.  It is fatal to assume that these adjudicators understand how consulting relationships work, so we try to make it as easy as possible for the adjudicator to understand the various levels of vendors.  

We will work with your consulting company to create a solid presentation in order to avoid requests for evidence or denials.
