Three stages from risk score to autonomous drafting.

The wedge: RFEs cost employers $4–8K and 60+ days. The signal lives in the petition packet itself. Each stage builds the data flywheel for the next.

Overall Petition Strength

Specialty Occupation Nexus

62 · Weak

Support letter does not establish that the role requires a specific specialty degree. USCIS officers in TSC look for explicit statutory language.

Likely officer flag · Cited in 41% of similar RFEs

Degree Relevance

71 · Borderline

Mathematics degree is adjacent but not directly listed in DOL handbook for SOC 15-1252. Recommend strengthening with coursework mapping or expert opinion.

Likely officer flag · Common at adjacent-field petitions

Employer-Employee Relationship

89 · Strong

Org chart, payroll, and direct reporting structure clearly evidenced. No third-party placement risk.

No officer flag predicted

Wage Compliance

94 · Strong

Offered wage exceeds prevailing wage for Level II by 8%. LCA filed correctly.

No officer flag predicted

Evidentiary Completeness

64 · Borderline

Missing: industry letters confirming degree-requirement parallel. Diploma translation present but not certified.

Likely officer flag · Easy to remediate

The copilot doesn't just flag — it drafts the fix inline.

Re: H-1B Petition · Beneficiary [Name]

Dear USCIS Officer,

We respectfully submit this petition on behalf of [Company] to classify the above-named beneficiary as a temporary worker in a specialty occupation pursuant to INA §101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). The beneficiary will be employed as a Senior Software Engineer.

The position of Senior Software Engineer requires advanced technical knowledge1, including proficiency in distributed systems and cloud architecture. The candidate's background makes them well-suited to perform these duties at a high level.

The beneficiary holds a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from a recognized university2, which we believe qualifies them for this role given the analytical demands of modern software engineering.

The beneficiary will work at our corporate offices under direct supervision3, performing duties consistent with the job description filed with the LCA. We have attached supporting documentation, including the offer letter, organizational chart, and beneficiary credentials.

Sincerely,
[Petitioner Counsel]

Alma Copilot

1 SPECIALTY OCCUPATION · HIGH IMPACT

Vague specialty occupation language

"Requires advanced technical knowledge" is generic and triggers RFEs in 41% of similar petitions. Officers want explicit statutory criteria.

Drafted Replacement

"The position of Senior Software Engineer is a specialty occupation requiring theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge — specifically, a U.S. bachelor's or higher degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related field — as a minimum requirement for entry, satisfying 8 CFR §214.2(h)(4)(iii)(A)(1)."

2 DEGREE NEXUS · MEDIUM IMPACT

Adjacent-field degree without bridge

Mathematics → Software Engineering is a defensible adjacency, but the letter doesn't articulate it. RFE risk: 2.3x higher than direct-match petitions.

Drafted Bridge Paragraph

"The beneficiary holds a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, a field directly applicable to software engineering. Their transcript reflects coursework in algorithms, discrete mathematics, and computational theory — competencies recognized by the DOL Occupational Outlook Handbook as qualifying preparation for SOC 15-1252 roles. See attached Exhibit F (course-to-duty mapping)."

3 EMPLOYER RELATIONSHIP · LOW IMPACT

Worksite language could be tightened

Current phrasing is acceptable but boilerplate. Officers in some service centers prefer named worksite address and right-to-control specifics.

Drafted Refinement

"The beneficiary will work in-person at the petitioner's headquarters located at [address], under the direct supervision of [Manager Name, Title]. The petitioner retains exclusive right to hire, fire, supervise, and direct the work of the beneficiary, satisfying the right-to-control standard articulated in Defensor v. Meissner."
