Published outcomes
98.6% petition success rate
We publish a 98.6% success rate so finance and HR can compare providers with a clear definition — not a vague “high approval” claim.
How we calculate it
- Numerator: H-1B I-129 petitions prepared and filed through h1bfiling.com that receive an approval notice — including approvals after we respond to an RFE.
- Denominator: Those same petitions that reach a final USCIS decision (approval or denial) while still under our filing.
- Excluded: Lottery-only work, H-4 filings, withdrawn cases, and petitions moved to other counsel before decision.
What this does not mean
Adjudication is case-specific. Wage level, job duties, degree fit, and worksite facts still drive outcomes. We screen for common RFE triggers before filing and put a lawyer on every petition — that process supports the published rate; it does not eliminate USCIS discretion.
FAQ
What does the 98.6% success rate measure?
Approvals of H-1B petitions (Form I-129) that h1bfiling.com prepared and filed, including cases approved after a Request for Evidence (RFE) response. Lottery registrations are not counted as petition outcomes.
What is not counted?
Withdrawn petitions before adjudication, cases transferred to other counsel mid-process, lottery-only registrations, and H-4 dependent filings. Government fee payments and USCIS processing times are outside this metric.
Can you guarantee my case will be approved?
No. USCIS decides each petition on its facts. Specialty occupation, wage level, worksite, and evidence quality all matter. The published rate describes historical outcomes for petitions we prepared and filed — not a promise for any single case.
