Took it for a quick spin with a sample profile and the gap analysis actually flagged things I would have missed before sending to a lawyer. The structured profile export looks like it would save my attorney a lot of back-and-forth too.
@elanuru3dt Thank you so much for trying it with a sample profile and sharing this feedback. This is exactly what we hoped Meritocrat would help with: catching gaps early, organizing the profile clearly, and reducing the back-and-forth before attorney review.
The structured export is especially important to us because attorneys should be able to see the applicant’s achievements, evidence, and weak areas in one organized view instead of reconstructing everything from scattered documents.
I really appreciate you taking the time to test it and share this.
How does the evaluation actually work under the hood, like are you pulling from USCIS AAO precedent decisions or more general criteria checklists, and how often is that underlying reference updated?
@recep755n Great question. Meritocrat does not simply run a generic checklist.
We prepare the evaluation question framework with input from immigration experts, including former adjudication professionals and attorneys. The framework is built around USCIS regulatory criteria for EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1, then organized into structured questions that help capture the applicant’s achievements, evidence, impact, and gaps.
Attorneys can also set or adjust the evaluation framework based on their own case strategy. That means the platform can support both applicant self-preparation and attorney-led review.
For reference context, we use publicly available USCIS policy guidance, regulatory criteria, and relevant AAO decision patterns where useful. We do not treat AAO examples as automatic rules because every case is fact-specific.
The underlying framework is versioned and reviewed periodically. We update it when USCIS guidance, forms, policy language, or meaningful adjudication patterns change, and we also refine it based on attorney and expert feedback.
So the short answer is: it is expert-informed, criteria-based, evidence-driven, and attorney-configurable. It helps applicants prepare better before attorney review, while keeping legal judgment with the attorney.
The evidence organization feature saved me hours sorting through recommendation letters and publications. Wish I had this when I was putting my own NIW together.
@muzafferl2sx Thank you so much. This means a lot, especially because you have gone through the NIW process yourself.
That is exactly why we built Meritocrat: to make evidence organization and profile preparation less overwhelming before attorney review.
Really appreciate your support.
