Specialty occupation criteria
The position must meet at least one of four criteria (bachelor's degree requirement, degree common in the field, complex duties, etc.) — each evidenced or the petition does not release.
The most rigorous H-1B, L-1, O-1, PERM, and I-140 petition package a mid-market employer can file.
Employment Immigration Petition Engine assembles a documentation-complete, RFE-resistant petition package — every regulatory element, every required exhibit, the attorney-signed filing — checked against the exact criteria of the governing regulations before a licensed attorney releases it.

Why petitions fail
A single missing element can trigger an RFE or denial.
A mid-market employer's immigration petition is only as strong as the evidence behind it. Miss one of the five required exhibit categories, skip a required regulatory criterion, misstate a wage level, or fail to address a potential weakness — and the petition can be hit with a Request for Evidence (RFE), delayed, or denied outright.
Most employers rely on boutique law firms that bill $2,500–$10,000 per case at artisanal speed, or self-serve SaaS that dumps the assembly work back on an overstretched HR team. Neither option guarantees completeness.
Employment Immigration Petition Engine exists to close that gap with a single, exhaustive standard applied identically to every file.

The benchmark
Measured against the letter of the regulations — subsection by subsection.
We do not summarize the law and hope. Every petition is scored against a versioned rule pack tied to the exact text of 8 CFR §214.2(h) and related parts. These are the provisions each petition is held to.
Beneficiary qualifications
The beneficiary's education, experience, and licensure are verified against the position's requirements; equivalency evaluations are sourced and checked.
LCA compliance
The certified Labor Condition Application is matched to the petition: wage level, worksite, occupation code, and validity period — all reconciled before filing.
Required wage
The offered wage is verified to meet or exceed the prevailing wage determined by the DOL Occupational Employment Statistics or an alternative survey.
Employer-employee relationship
Evidence of the petitioner's right to control the beneficiary's work is assembled: supervision, work product, hiring/firing authority, and off-site work policies.
RFE red-teaming
Every petition is stress-tested against the top 10 RFE patterns (specialty occupation, beneficiary qualifications, wage level, etc.) and a mitigation memo is drafted before filing.
How a petition is built
Intake to attorney release, with deterministic gates the AI cannot overrule.
AI extracts and drafts. Deterministic rules — running as code, outside the model — decide what is complete. A licensed immigration attorney reviews and signs every release. That order is never reversed.

Why Employment Immigration Petition Engine
Built to be the most thorough option a mid-market employer has.
Documentation-complete, by design
The deliverable is completeness itself — every regulatory element and evidence item accounted for or explicitly exception-coded. Nothing is left implicit.
Deterministic, not vibes
The gates that decide completeness are code, not a model's opinion. A drafting error cannot slip past a regulatory requirement.
In its lane, on purpose
We prepare documentation and run searches as your clerical agent. We never give legal advice, contact USCIS on your behalf without authorization, or make eligibility determinations.
Engagement
Flat fee, per released petition. No hourly billing, ever.
Simple, predictable, and aligned with a documentation standard — not a cut of any recovery.
- A free Gap Scan before you commit — see exactly what is missing.
- One flat fee per released petition package; disclosed pass-through evidence costs.
- Optional fixed-fee attorney review for complex or high-value cases.
- Optional Premium Processing add-on for 15-day USCIS adjudication.
FAQ
Questions, answered precisely.
Is Employment Immigration Petition Engine a law firm?
No. Employment Immigration Petition Engine, a service of Your Deputy, Obuke LLC, provides documentation-completeness services. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not represent you in any legal matter. Attorney review is available and recommended for complex or high-value cases.
Do you contact USCIS or the beneficiary?
Only as your authorized representative and only with your written consent. We never contact the beneficiary directly. The employer remains the petitioner and the party responsible for all filings.
What makes a petition 'complete'?
Completeness is defined by the regulations: the required forms, support letter, exhibit set, evidence of specialty occupation, beneficiary qualifications, LCA compliance, wage level, employer-employee relationship, and RFE red-teaming — all present and verified by deterministic gates before attorney release.
How fast is it?
The standard SLA is five business days from complete intake to an attorney-released petition. The free Gap Scan is returned much sooner and tells you exactly what is still needed.
How are you priced?
A flat fee per released petition, plus disclosed pass-through evidence costs. No hourly billing and no percentage of any outcome.
