Know which employment visa leads are worth consultation time
The intake asks whether a U.S. employer is sponsoring the case, confirms current immigration status, and checks that filing fees are covered before a lead ever reaches your calendar. Prospective clients upload their passport and any job offer or sponsorship letter so you can see the shape of the case at a glance.

The questions your team needs answered
Every employment-based immigration intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you seeking a U.S. work visa, a work-based green card, or a change/extension of a U.S. work status? | Confirms the lead is actually pursuing an employment-based matter rather than a family, humanitarian, or other immigration issue outside this intake's scope. |
| Do you have a U.S. employer offering you a job or willing to sponsor you (or are you self-petitioning as an investor or person with extraordinary ability)? | Distinguishes employer-sponsored cases from self-petitions, both of which score as high-value but may need different intake follow-up. |
| Do you have a valid passport and can you provide basic documents about your identity, education, and work history? | A valid passport and basic identity, education, and work documents indicate the case can move forward without an initial documentation gap. |
| Are you currently in the United States? | Determines whether the matter is likely to involve consular processing abroad or an in-country filing, which changes strategy and staffing. |
| If you are in the United States, are you currently in lawful immigration status (or within a short grace period after it ended)? | Lawful status (or a short grace period) for someone already in the U.S. is a strong indicator the case can proceed without an immediate status-violation complication. |
| Have you ever been arrested, charged, or convicted of any crime in any country? | A criminal history doesn't disqualify the lead but flags it as one that may need deeper screening before a consultation is scheduled. |
| Have you ever been ordered removed/deported, denied a U.S. visa, or refused entry to the United States? | A prior denial, refusal, or removal order signals a more complex matter that may still be worth taking but changes how the consultation should be framed. |
| Are you able to pay attorney fees and government filing fees (or will your employer cover them)? | Confirms whether attorney and government fees are covered, which affects both case viability and how the intake should be prioritized. |

Built for employment-based immigration workflows
| Cliont capability | Employment-Based Immigration application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching | The current-immigration-status question only appears when a prospective client confirms they're already in the United States, keeping the form short for applicants who are still abroad. |
| Lead scoring engine | Employer sponsorship, valid status, and fee readiness carry the heaviest weights, while a past denial or criminal history pulls the score down without zeroing it out, matching how these matters are actually triaged. |
| Document capture | Prospective clients upload a passport and any job offer or sponsorship letter directly in the intake, so a case's basic documentary posture is visible before the first consultation. |
| CRM routing | Qualified employment-based leads land in your CRM with sponsorship type, in-country status, and fee readiness attached, so staff can prioritize employer-backed, fee-ready matters first. |
Common employment-based immigration lead scenarios
Employer-sponsored, in status
A prospective client with a job offer, valid immigration status, and fees covered by the employer answers every high-value question the same way, producing a lead worth a consultation immediately.
Self-petitioning without an employer
Someone pursuing extraordinary-ability or investor-based status answers the sponsorship question as a self-petition rather than an employer offer, which the intake treats as a distinct qualifying path rather than a red flag.
Applying from outside the U.S.
A candidate who is not currently in the United States skips the in-country status question entirely, signaling a consular-processing scenario instead of an adjustment-of-status one.
Out of status past the grace period
A prospective client currently in the U.S. but no longer in lawful status or within a short grace period answers the status question negatively, which lowers fit without being disqualifying on its own.
Prior denial or removal order
A lead who discloses a past visa denial, removal order, or refused entry is flagged as lower fit so you can decide whether the matter needs deeper screening before a consultation is booked.

Employment-Based Immigration lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle self-petitioning cases like EB-1 extraordinary ability, where there's no sponsoring employer?
The sponsorship question explicitly includes self-petitioning as an investor or person with extraordinary ability as a valid answer, so those leads still score as high-value rather than being treated as unsponsored and weak.
Does the intake screen out clients who have a prior visa denial or removal order?
No. Prior denials, refused entry, or removal orders are treated as a lower-fit signal that flags the lead for closer review, not an automatic disqualification, since many such matters still warrant a consultation.
How does the form distinguish someone applying from abroad versus someone already in the U.S.?
The intake asks whether the prospective client is currently in the United States, and only asks about current lawful status if they are, which helps separate consular-processing situations from in-country status changes without extra manual triage.
Will the intake flag leads who can't afford fees and have no employer covering costs?
Yes. The ability-to-pay question is weighted as a high-value signal, so a lead answering no with no employer contribution scores lower and can be routed for a different follow-up than a fully fee-ready case.
What happens if a prospective client discloses a past arrest or conviction?
A criminal history answer is scored as lower fit rather than disqualifying, since the catalog treats it as a factor worth attorney review rather than an automatic reason to turn the lead away.
Can I use this same intake for H-1B, L-1, or TN cases specifically?
This intake covers general employment-based inquiries; if your practice wants dedicated qualification flows for narrower categories, H-1B Specialty Occupation, L-1 Intracompany Transfer, TN Professionals, O-1 Extraordinary Ability, and EB-1/EB-2/EB-3 Immigrant Visas are each set up as separate sibling subservices.
