🙏🏻SPONSORS🙏🏻

Producing a comedy show is fun, but it's a lot of work and is expensive. It would simply not be possible without these amazing sponsors:

- One of the industry's most established immigration case management platforms. Mitratech’s INSZoom and Tracker I-9 solutions offer immigration lawyers a comprehensive, cloud-based platform that automates high-volume case management and provides an industry-leading, zero-fine track record for I-9 compliance.

- Park Evaluations is one of the most comprehensive providers of foreign credential evaluations, combining complete foreign credential evaluation services with PERM Advertising and certified translation services in almost every language.

- Visalaw.ai is an AI-powered legal technology platform designed specifically for immigration lawyers and legal teams. It streamlines immigration practice by enabling rapid drafting of petitions, legal research using authorized databases (backed by AILA/AILALink), document analysis, summarization, and translation.

- MobSquad provides a "white-glove" Canadian H-1B alternative that enables immigration lawyers to secure their clients' top-tier tech talent, offering a turn-key solution to relocate foreign nationals to Canada in 4-6 weeks—with pathways to permanent residency in under a year—while they continue to support U.S. clients remotely

. The Build Fellowship provides immigration lawyers with a turnkey, cap-exempt H-1B alternative boasting a 99% approval rate, allowing you to secure year-round work authorization for high-skilled clients and retain them for U.S. employers without relying on the H-1B lottery.

🖥 (my company! 😊) - we provide electronic LCA posting and PAF management as well as electornic PERM NOF posting and management for immigration lawyers and H-1B employers.
