Facts and data boundaries
A company's self-description does not constitute independent verification of qualifications or results. Check on the official website.
According to its website description, Meltzer Hellrung bills itself as a corporate immigration law firm that combines high-touch expertise with its Voyager® proprietary technology platform. The firm says it makes immigration “easier, more transparent and more efficient” for employers, employees and families.
According to its website, the firm works with companies and entrepreneurs in a wide range of industries and offers flexible services that can change as a company's staffing needs change. Among the announced client categories are Fortune 500 companies, venture capital unicorns in FinTech, ERP, EdTech, a large insurance company, a large US regional airline, and a large accounting and consulting firm.
The firm describes its process in three stages: assessing and analyzing a client's immigration program, creating a corporate immigration policy as a "single source of truth" and implementing a program management structure with stakeholder education.
The official website lists the following areas: US Immigration, Global Immigration, I-9 and Immigration Compliance, Immigration Litigation, as well as Consular Processing Services and In-House Immigration Specialist. These same directions are duplicated in the service navigation.
On global immigration, the site claims the ability to obtain work visas and permanent residence for employees and their families in 100 countries; This is an official statement by the company and not an independently verified fact.
Consular services are described as separate paid packages: DS-160 review and interview preparation. It is stated that the DS-160 review service does not include a response to a 221(g) request and does not guarantee a result at the consulate.
In the sources studied, there is no confirmed information that the company provides services in Russian. The official pages of the site included in the sources studied are presented in English; in historical facts the language is indicated as EN.
The reviews in the sample also do not contain evidence of Russian-language service. Therefore, the question of the language of communication should be clarified with the company directly before concluding a contract.
According to the description on the website, the work is carried out in three stages: (1) assessment and analysis of the client’s immigration program with the setting of short-term, medium-term and long-term goals; (2) creating corporate immigration policy as a “single source of truth”; (3) implementation of a program management structure, stakeholder training, and program benchmarking.
The site states an internally measured response time for communications is one business day, with a company average of 4.5 business hours; It also states that H-1B change of employer petitions must be filed within 10 calendar days. These are official company statements and have not been independently verified as part of the package.
The Voyager® platform is described as a tool with dashboards, submission deadlines, process updates, custom workflows, centralized data and document storage, and educational materials. Voyager® is listed as a registered trademark of Meltzer Hellrung Software LLC.
What is worth clarifying before starting work: exactly how tasks are distributed between the lawyer and the paralegal, how deadlines are fixed, what communication channels are used, how access to Voyager works and who on the client’s side gets access.
The sources studied have confirmed prices only for consular packages: DS-160 Review - $450; Interview Preparation - $195.00. Both prices are indicated on the official page of consular services.
According to the DS-160 Review, it is stated that the applicant enters the data into the form himself, and the firm reviews the form before submission; verification includes consistency with the USCIS petition and current facts, as well as prior immigration history and previously filed DS-160s. If the applicant's employer is not represented by the firm, a copy of the I-129 petition is requested. The service does not include a printed interview package and does not include a 221(g) response.
The cost of corporate programs, global immigration, compliance and litigation was not disclosed in the sources reviewed. The terms of the contract, the procedure for payment and refund are not described in the sources studied - these are questions for clarification from the company.
