What LegalOS does

LegalOS is an AI-native immigration law firm that combines cutting-edge technology with 40+ years of legal expertise. We’ve studied 12,000 successful petitions to design our process - which allows us to deliver top-quality visa applications in as quickly as 48 hours. Our specialized AI agents draft petition narratives, compile evidence, and anticipate USCIS objections - work that traditionally takes attorneys weeks, if not months. Every case is reviewed and signed by licensed immigration attorneys with 40+ years of experience, so companies get both speed and reliability. We support O-1, H-1B, L-1A, L-1B, TN, EB-1A, EB-1C, and EB-2 NIW petitions. Our unique approach works. We’ve filed dozens of visa applications and have a 100% approval rate so far. The U.S. processes 1M+ work visas annually - a market where incumbents still operate on fax machines, email, and 1990s case management software. We're building the modern immigration law firm.

The AI-Native Immigration Law Firm

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an AI-native immigration law firm that uses machine learning models trained on 12,000 past successful visa petitions to draft application narratives, compile supporting evidence, and flag potential USCIS objections. The platform produces O-1, H-1B, L-1, TN, EB-1A, and EB-2 NIW visa applications in as fast as 48 hours. Licensed immigration attorneys with decades of experience review and sign off on every case to ensure quality and compliance.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and remote locations. After YC, we'll remain based in San Francisco with distributed team members continuing remote work.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where the legal and tech talent markets intersect. Remote work lets us expand our reach without sacrificing access to key expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real LegalOS YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from LegalOS's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like LegalOS would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
