How Visa Engine works for talent petitions, skilled-work routes, and visitor visas — cases, AI analysis, preparation, drafts, RFE help, eligibility, and plans
Visa Engine is an AI-powered visa readiness tool. You create a case for a specific visa type, upload evidence documents, and see how those documents map to immigration criteria or visitor checklists — plus readiness scoring, preparation tools, and draft generation.
It is an educational and analytical tool, not a law firm and not legal advice. Analysis is checked against published immigration rules, not a generic chatbot.
A case is your file for one visa route (for example O-1A or UK Standard Visitor). You upload evidence files; Visa Engine reads the text, identifies document types, and evaluates how each file supports the criteria or checklist for that route.
You can re-upload a better file and keep the latest version. Only the latest version counts toward readiness by default.
When you upload a document, Visa Engine:
Talent / work routes show a criteria grid. Visitor / tourist routes emphasize a checklist and refusal-risk style readiness (ties, funds, purpose, temporary intent) — Drafts and RFE tabs stay hidden on those routes.
The Prepare tab walks you through per-criterion (or checklist) narrative answers with prompts, guidance, and examples from preparation templates. An AI document reviewer acts as a writing coach on your responses — it does not replace attorney review.
On supported talent routes, Drafts can generate petition-oriented documents (for example support letters or cover narratives) from your case context. You can edit drafts in-app and export to Word. Draft generation depends on your plan (typically Starter and Pro).
If you receive a Request for Evidence, Visa Engine helps you organize the RFE text, map issues to evidence, and draft a response plan. Availability depends on visa type and plan.
The public Eligibility check asks a short set of questions and returns a ranked shortlist of visa routes that may fit your profile. It is a starting point for exploration — not an approval prediction.
The Guide Library covers visa overviews, criteria deep-dives, document guides, a glossary, and FAQ. This page is the product guide; visa-specific guides explain how each route works under the law. How those guides are researched — regulation versus agency policy versus a Visa Engine score — is on the methodology page.
Immigration firms can share cases with attorneys, paralegals, and other staff, plus track new leads. Individual applicants can use Visa Engine without joining a firm.
Plans are Free, Starter, and Pro. Free includes analysis, readiness tracking, prep tools, and guides; drafts and some advanced features unlock on paid plans. See Pricing for current limits and features.
No. Visa Engine helps you understand requirements and assess evidence against published criteria. For advice specific to your situation, consult a qualified immigration attorney. Guide and chat content are for informational purposes only.
