What is a Visa Petitioner and the Responsibilities Involved?

Visa Petitioner responsabilities

Responsibilities as a Visa Petitioner:

  • Providing Petitioner Information: You will need to supply some information about your business for the forms associated with filing a visa petition. Those questions are included in the intake link of getting started with us. There are a few pages to sign. Your business is not required to have a certain amount of employees, revenue, or previous experience.

  • Assistance Supporting Documentation: When potential clients submit an eligibility intake sheet the law firm will give a notification on the background of the applicant. If they are not a good candidate, it will be communicated. If the applicant is a good candidate, you may need to assist in gathering relevant documents such as contracts, letters of recommendation, awards, or press coverage to demonstrate the person's extraordinary abilities or achievements.

  • Petitioner Assertions: As a petitioner, there are three main agreements that you are making

    • The information in the petition is true

    • Petitioner agrees to receive service of process (not liability)

    • Petitioner agrees to reasonable cost of travel for return to the home country if the visa is cut short. The immigration law firm does create a way to offset this in the template used to create the petition.
