Here at Docketwise, we are thrilled to announce a significant enhancement to our e-filing features. With the H-1B filing season underway, we are proud to introduce seamless e-filing options for Forms I-129 Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker and ETA-9035 Labor Condition Application directly through Docketwise. This addition comes as a testament to our commitment to helping you achieve greatness in your practice by staying at the cutting edge. 

‍The H-1B visa, renowned for attracting skilled foreign workers to the United States, remains highly sought-after. However, the limited quota of 65,000 visas, along with an additional 20,000 reserved for master’s and doctoral degree holders, means that year after year many qualified applicants are unable to successfully obtain this visa. The need to meet the numerous deadlines involved in registering for the H-1B selection process and promptly preparing and filing petitions during the 90-day window underscores the importance of efficiency and speed to immigration firms.

‍With Docketwise's new H-1B e-filing features, immigration law firms can accomplish this process with unprecedented ease, maximizing their chances of securing these coveted visas for their clients.

Unprecedented convenience: H-1B e-filing made effortless

Our development team has dedicated significant resources and worked tirelessly this year to ensure that the introduction of e-filing capabilities was ready during the 90-filing period that began April 1st.  By integrating with the Department of Labor's FLAG system, Docketwise already offers e-filing for form ETA-9035, streamlining your submission of LCAs. Commensurate with the implementation by USCIS of the ability to e-file form I-129 for H-1B cases, we have also just added direct e-filing of I-129 through Docketwise to USCIS.

‍Plus. the LCA  process is further assisted by Docketwise’s integration with the LaborLess platform for automated LCA posting and Public Access File creation and management.

‍Furthermore, in advance of next year's filing season, we are excited to announce that H-1B Registration with USCIS will also be available directly through Docketwise in 2025. This proactive approach reflects our commitment to providing a seamless end-to-end solution for the H-1B season moving forward.

Docketwise is the fourth immigration software I've used in my career. None come close. It's everything I'd wished for in an immigration forms software. Law offices would be well-served to at least give it a try. I've already enthusiastically recommended Docketwise to several colleagues.

This product has increased my law firms productivity ten fold. Before I used to do forms on my own from the USCIS website. Using Docketwise, has caused me to give up paper questionnaires and keeps me from inputting information directly into forms.

I am extremely pleased with Docketwise. This software streamlined my Immigration practice and enabled me to process more cases in less time. Clients (and my staff) love how "user friendly" this software is. Definitely a great value for the money.
