For Talent · For Petitioners · For Agents

The petition is filed. The opportunity is waiting. USCIS is silent.

When a notice goes missing or the case status stops moving, the work doesn't stop with it — but the recovery has to be run methodically. This is the recovery track for talent whose petitioner is already inside our network. One flat fee, one intake, and a case lead who works the channels until the file comes back.

The four patterns we see

i
Delivered. Not charged. Not receipted.
FedEx or UPS confirms the lockbox received the package. The card was never hit. The receipt notice never came. The case may not have been intaked.
ii
Charged. Not receipted.
Payment cleared. USCIS opened a case in its internal system. The paper notice — the receipt number itself — never arrived.
iii
Receipted. Later notice missing.
The I-797C came. Something later — an approval, an RFE, a transfer, a denial — was issued and never reached you.
iv
Premium Processing past the clock.
Fifteen business days have run. No action of any kind. Refund and inquiry both come into play.

What the recovery actually does

Recovery is operational, not legal. It's a sequence of channels — each USCIS-specific, each with its own format and timing — worked in the right order for the case's posture. The case lead diagnoses the bucket, opens the correct channel first, escalates when needed, and maintains the written trail that becomes the record of the work.

Questions

Why a flat fee instead of hourly?
Because the work has a defined shape — diagnose, open the right channel, follow up, document. Hourly billing on operational work creates an incentive to drag, and the value is in the resolution, not the hours. The fee is set for the work; the work runs until the case lands.
Is this a law firm?
No. This is an administrative recovery service. It is not the practice of law. There is no attorney-client relationship. If your case turns out to need legal work — a response, a motion, an appeal — it is referred out and quoted separately.
My petitioner is not in your network. Can I still use this?
No. This service is for cases where the petitioner is already a service partner of the recovery provider, which is what makes the $250 price possible. If the petitioner is an outside entity, that case goes through DC Federal Litigation under a separate, $500 limited-scope legal engagement.
How will I get updates?
By email, weekly. Same-day responses and phone consultations are not part of this service. The cadence is set so the case lead can do the work; the cadence is not set so you have to wait.
What if USCIS produces nothing?
The fee is for the work, not the outcome. USCIS pace is outside any service provider's control. The work runs through the available channels, the documentation is built, and the path forward is identified — including, if appropriate, escalation to legal counsel.

Innovative Global Talent Agency is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. This page describes an administrative recovery service for the beneficiary of a USCIS petition where the petitioner of record is part of our service network. The service is operational and is not a substitute for legal representation. No attorney-client relationship arises from this page, the payment of the fee, or the completion of the intake. For RFE response, motions, appeals, or federal court matters, engage immigration counsel. Internal correspondence: foia@dcfederallitigation.com.
