Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL) Disclosure

Last updated: March 2025

What we do

EB1A Path provides:

• Software tools to help you assess and organize your professional achievements against the publicly-stated EB-1A criteria used by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
• Consulting services focused on profile-building: identifying which of your achievements may be relevant evidence, organizing documents, drafting non-legal supporting content (such as biographical narratives, recommendation letter starter drafts for your recommenders to refine, and engagement materials).
• Introductions to licensed immigration attorneys we have worked with previously.
• Educational content about the EB-1A category, published as articles and resources on our website.

What we do NOT do

We do not, and we will not:

• Provide legal advice, opinions, recommendations, or analysis as to whether you qualify for any visa category under U.S. immigration law.
• Determine which visa or immigration classification (EB-1A, EB-1B, EB-2 NIW, O-1, etc.) is legally appropriate for you.
• Prepare, complete, sign, certify, or file any USCIS form, petition, application, or supporting documentation that constitutes the practice of immigration law.
• Represent you before USCIS, the Department of State, the Department of Labor, immigration courts, or any other government agency.
• Establish an attorney-client relationship with you or hold any confidence under such a relationship.
• Provide any service that constitutes the practice of law under federal regulations (8 C.F.R. §§ 292.1, 1.2) or the laws of any state.

The role of your independent attorney

Filing an EB-1A petition requires the involvement of an attorney admitted to practice law in the United States. We strongly recommend that you retain a licensed immigration attorney to:

• Analyze your specific situation under current immigration law and USCIS policy.
• Determine which visa category is legally appropriate.
• Draft the legal arguments, the I-140 petition, and the supporting brief.
• Review all evidence for legal sufficiency before filing.
• Sign and file the petition with USCIS as your attorney of record.
• Respond to Requests for Evidence (RFEs), Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs), or any other communications from USCIS.
• Represent you in any related immigration matter.

The attorney-client relationship is solely between you and the immigration attorney you choose. We do not select, hire, employ, supervise, or share fees with any attorney. We do not accept referral fees from attorneys. If we introduce you to an attorney, you alone decide whether to engage them and on what terms.

About AI-generated content

The software portal uses AI (Anthropic Claude) to generate drafts of:

• Profile readiness scores and reasoning.
• Monthly roadmap plans of suggested profile-building activities.
• Starter templates for recommendation letters, personal statements, cover letters, and other non-legal documents.
• LinkedIn posts and press pitches for visibility-building purposes.

All AI-generated content is a draft for your own review, editing, and use. It is not legal advice. Before submitting any AI-generated document to USCIS, a recommender, an attorney, or any other party, you should:

• Verify the accuracy of every factual claim.
• Have your immigration attorney review the content for legal appropriateness.
• Personally approve and own all content you sign or submit.

The EB-1A Readiness Score

The Readiness Score is a directional self-assessment heuristic intended only to help you organize your profile-building efforts. It is not:

• A legal opinion or analysis of your eligibility for EB-1A.
• A prediction or guarantee of USCIS approval.
• A substitute for an attorney's review of your case.

USCIS adjudication is discretionary and depends on the totality of evidence, the adjudicator, and the legal sufficiency of the petition. No score, no AI assessment, and no service of any kind can predict or guarantee an outcome with USCIS.

What you can do if you have a concern

If at any point you believe our staff has crossed the line into providing legal advice, please stop and notify us at hello@eb1apath.com. We will review the interaction, refer you to your own attorney for the legal question, and take corrective action internally. We take this responsibility seriously.

Acknowledgment

By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this UPL Disclosure, that we are not your attorney, and that no statement we make should be relied upon as legal advice. You agree to independently retain a licensed immigration attorney for legal advice and for the actual filing of any immigration petition.
