Key answer
Petition and RFE analysis involves four checks of the same text: by the criteria rules without AI, with AI, for RFE risk, and for Advisory Opinion letter compliance for O-1. You upload a file or paste text to see what is covered and what the officer may interpret as missing.
When to use
Before submitting, to spot weak points in the petition while there's still time to address them. Also after receiving an RFE to analyze the request and understand which criteria elements are being challenged.
How to use
Upload a PDF, scan, or photo, or paste text and choose a tab:
- By rules (no AI) - compares with O-1 / EB-1A criteria rules: what's counted, what's questionable, what's missing.
- AI analysis - the same text reviewed by the AI model, useful for seeing how the wording comes across rather than just formal features.
- RFE risk - likely typical officer objections to this text.
- Advisory Opinion (O-1) - checks the professional organization's letter for mandatory elements.
Why it matters
The by-rules analysis is deterministic: it doesn't create conclusions, but matches the text to the unpacked criteria rules, so you always get the same result on identical text. Your file is read in your browser, and only the extracted text is sent to the server. This is a guideline based on formal features, not legal advice: the USCIS officer makes the decision.
Frequently asked questions
What does the rule-based, non-AI analysis do?
It compares your text to the unpacked O-1 and EB-1A criteria rules: which parts of each criterion are covered, which remain questionable, and what evidence is missing. The result is deterministic - the same text always gets the same analysis.
Where does the uploaded file go?
Your file is analyzed in your browser: PDFs are read locally, scans and photos are processed by local OCR. Only the extracted text is sent to the server to check it against the rules.
How does the 'RFE Risk' tab differ from the rule-based analysis?
Rule-based analysis shows what is currently covered in the text. RFE risk assessment looks at it another way: what common officer objections are likely and what should be improved before submission.
Does this replace a specialist's review?
No. This is a formal checklist, not legal advice or an approval guarantee. The final case decision is made by a USCIS officer.

«If you're the founder yourself and there's basically nobody else in the company, you need to at least set up a board of directors that has the authority to hire or fire you, that is, so your employer is distinct from you.»

«That's what I did. My cofounder is my nephew and of course he couldn't care less what I do. You can be/live anywhere and register a company here. And yes, that's the whole catch, your cofounder has to have the ability to fire you, otherwise your position is sort of not genuinely an employee one.»
