The Problem

An email from a founder in W25 to their immigration law firm (name redacted to protect the guilty)

We’ve talked to enough employers to know dealing with immigration lawyers sucks. Here’s why:

  • Slow response times from lawyers (1-3 business days at least)
  • No help on complex compliance requirements after visa approval
  • Knowledge transfer and communication done via email or janky web forms
  • Confusing questionnaires or document checklists

The Solution

We help US employers spend as little time as possible worrying about H-1Bs and how to be compliant. Here’s how:

  • Fast online data intake process with AI-powered document intake that auto-fills your application
  • Easy to follow tooltips and comprehensive FAQ
  • Automated H-1B compliance for you and your team even after H-1B approval
  • An experienced immigration lawyer handles and reviews each individual case with the same level of scrutiny as a law firm
  • Fast turnaround time for legal questions
  • We use english, no legal jargon

Moving forward

H-1Bs are just the beginning. We’ve already started working on expanding our offering to help both consumers and businesses with other types of visas such as O-1s, Fs, Ks and TNs. The US immigration service market isn’t built for the 21st century, and we believe by using a mix of AI and professionals in the loop we can change that.

Our Ask

Know someone who is hiring or has hired H-1B workers? Whether it’s a startup, SMB, enterprise, university, or nonprofit, we’d love an introduction! You can email us at rahul@getgale.app.

We’d also appreciate it if you could share this post, or our demo video and follow us on LinkedIn to stay updated on our journey!

Team

Rahul (CEO), Rishabh (CTO), and Haokun (CPO) have been building together since middle school and later studied at the University of Waterloo. After working at companies like NVIDIA and Tesla, they experienced the inefficiencies of the immigration process firsthand and decided to automate it end to end.
