Elevate Your H-1B Practice Through Self-Sponsorship Referrals

  • Steady Inflow of Highly Motivated Clients

  • Comprehensive Governance Oversight

  • Conflict-Free Arrangements

  • Mutual Referrals

You’ve built a strong reputation in the H-1B space. But as self-sponsored and entrepreneur-led H-1B petitions gain momentum, the line between representing an employer and a beneficiary can blur—risking conflicts of interest. That’s where we come in.

Why Partner with Us?

Comprehensive Governance Oversight

  • We ensure the petitioner (the startup) has a legitimate employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary.

  • We conduct monthly or quarterly governance reviews, maintain minutes, and coordinate changes in job duties or wages.

This level of detail spares you from delving into corporate governance complexities—enabling you to maintain razor-sharp focus on the immigration petition.

Mutual Referrals

In addition to sending you qualified entrepreneurs seeking self-sponsored H-1Bs, we invite you to refer your startup clients who need board structuring or compliance management. Our monthly governance service (e.g., $1,000/month) meets the USCIS requirement for a bona fide employer-employee relationship. You can rest assured that your clients receive top-tier compliance without infringing on your attorney-client relationship.

Conflict-Free Arrangements

When founders sponsor themselves, the employer-employee dynamic can cause ethical and legal complications if handled by a single counsel. Our model separates the governance requirements from the legal representation:

  • You focus on immigration filings, strategy, and client advocacy.

  • We provide the board structure and employer oversight essential for USCIS compliance.

Steady Inflow of Highly Motivated Clients

We attract foreign entrepreneurs seeking to form and sponsor their own U.S. businesses through H-1B self-sponsorship. These motivated founders regularly need dedicated, conflict-free attorneys—creating a valuable new pipeline of prospective clients for your firm.

FAQs

  • We manage the board of directors or advisory board that exercises true oversight over the beneficiary’s role—meeting USCIS’s requirement for a legitimate employer-employee relationship. This includes scheduling board meetings, recording employment-related votes, and ensuring any wage or role changes are documented.

  • No. We do not provide legal advice or share in the attorney-client relationship. Our focus is purely on governance and compliance oversight.

  • Absolutely. If you have a client exploring self-sponsorship who lacks a bona fide board structure, refer them to us. We’ll coordinate governance, leaving your legal representation intact and conflict-free.
