In April 2025, Ms. J was working at a management company in California. With her OPT about to expire, she faced the risk of having to leave the United States if she could not secure a change of status quickly. Upon a friend’s recommendation, she entrusted the Law Offices of Han Shu with her work visa application.
After reviewing her case, Attorney Shu’s team developed a dual strategy: expedited processing combined with meticulous preparation of supporting documents. While premium processing guarantees a decision within 15 calendar days, true “fast-track approval” depends on ensuring that every document is flawless from the start.
On the very same day Ms. J signed the representation agreement, Attorney Shu held a video consultation with her to gain a detailed understanding of the job duties, company background, and Ms. J’s academic and professional qualifications. He immediately began drafting the position description and aligning it with the O*NET occupational classification to demonstrate that the role legally qualified as a “specialty occupation.”
Within just a few days, all supporting evidence was collected, carefully reviewed, and subjected to dual cross-checks to ensure compliance with USCIS requirements in terms of language, data, signatures, and dates. Attorney Shu then submitted the Labor Condition Application (LCA) to the Department of Labor on behalf of Ms. J’s employer. As soon as the LCA was certified, it was incorporated into the complete H-1B petition package, which was then filed with USCIS under premium processing.
A mere 17 days after filing, Ms. J received her official work visa approval notice—without any Requests for Evidence and without delay.
