About PetitionHQ
Rebuilding how EB-2 NIW applicants find out where their case stands — before spending five figures on an attorney.
The problem
The first step of every EB-2 National Interest Waiver case is the same: an applicant pays $300–$500 for a consultation with an immigration attorney to find out whether their profile is even worth filing. The answer usually arrives after the attorney has already pitched them on a $6,000–$15,000 engagement. The result is a market where applicants commit to filing without an honest, framework-based read on whether their case is actually ready — and attorneys spend their highest-leverage hours on intake calls that should have been a structured form.
The product
PetitionHQ scores your profile directly against the three Matter of Dhanasar prongs — the controlling USCIS framework for EB-2 NIW adjudication — and returns an honest tier rating, prong-level gap analysis, and AI-drafted evidence dossier. In five minutes, for free, with no sales pitch. Roughly one in three applicants who complete the assessment receive a tier that says "not yet ready" with concrete guidance on which evidence to build before filing. We consider that the most useful answer we can give.
What we are
PetitionHQ is software. We help applicants assess their case, build their evidence package, and reach the right attorney. We are not a law firm. We do not give legal advice. Every applicant who proceeds to filing engages a licensed U.S. immigration attorney for the legal representation portion of the case.
What we value
- Honest scoring. We tell you when you are not ready. Roughly one in three assessments end in "not yet."
- Framework-anchored. Built directly on Matter of Dhanasar and the evidence patterns USCIS has historically rewarded. No marketing heuristics.
- Citation-traceable AI. Every line of every AI-drafted output traces back to your real credentials. No invented publications. No inflated claims.
- Consent-first data handling. Encrypted storage. Revocable sessions. Nothing shared with any attorney without your explicit, scoped approval.
Roadmap
V1 is EB-2 NIW only. EB-1A and O-1 are on the roadmap; we will not ship them until the underlying scoring engine is as rigorous as it is for NIW. Other employment-based and family-based categories are out of scope.
