"Throughout the whole process, Legalpad answered my numerous questions with great detail. I got an overall positive feeling about my application, encouraging me to put extra effort into it. When Legalpad presented me with the final packet, I was impressed with how well it had come together. Looking at it, I felt confident that it would go through approved and it did! I would highly recommend Legalpad for EB-1 and O-1 applications. The whole process of preparing the application took just a couple of months, which is much faster than what I hear from others!"

| Legalpad | US Work Visa and Immigration Services"The entire process was possibly the most expedited admin work I've gone through, and it can all be attributed to the Legalpad team I was set up with. I have never heard of a 3 business day turnaround for petition acceptance, and I know multiple people who have gone through similar processes. From engagement to acceptance, I estimate it took a little under 3 months, which is amazing." Viren Mohindra
