Three categories. The real USCIS test for each.

Every petition is built against the Policy Manual and the regulation for its category — not a generic template.

FAQ

Questions people ask before starting.

Is Porttus a law firm?

No. Porttus is a technology company that prepares your petition. A licensed immigration attorney reviews each petition before filing, and a case manager works with you throughout — but the platform itself does not provide legal advice.

Is everything done by AI?

AI drafts the petition, letters, exhibits and forms. People decide strategy, review every page, and answer your questions: your case manager is available throughout, and the attorney signs off before filing.

What do I get for free?

An estimated chance of approval for EB-1A, EB-2 NIW and O-1A, the criteria you already meet, an AI analysis of your profile with a PDF report, and a free 30-minute consultation with our team. No payment until you decide to proceed.

Do I need a job offer or an employer?

Not for EB-1A or EB-2 NIW — both are self-petitions. O-1 requires a U.S. employer or agent as the petitioner.

What happens if USCIS issues a Request for Evidence?

RFE support is included: we prepare the response to a Request for Evidence or a Notice of Intent to Deny with the same attorney review as the original petition.

Which languages do you work in?

English and Russian. Documents in Russian are translated and certified in-house.
