What it is
AgoraVisa is a US immigration services company operated by Agora Works LLC. Its site describes it as a technology and operations company, and states clearly that Agora is not a law firm and that its owners and managers are not lawyers. Legal work on each case is handled by independent licensed attorneys under a separate engagement agreement, and the company says it is not affiliated with USCIS, the US Department of State or any other government agency. The site focuses on professionals from Africa, Asia and the Philippines.
What it offers founders
The site lists help with employment-based green cards, including the EB-1A for people with extraordinary ability, the EB-1C, the EB-2 NIW and the EB-3, as well as nonimmigrant work visas such as the O-1 and the L-1A new office visa, plus B-1 and B-2 visitor visas. For O-1 and EB-1A cases, the site describes a case strategy built around the applicant's profile, help organizing evidence and drafting recommendation letters, filing through its network of independent attorneys, a dedicated case manager, support if USCIS issues a Request for Evidence, and a secure online portal for documents and progress updates. The EB-1A page notes that it especially serves entrepreneurs and business leaders, since the EB-1A is a self-petition that does not require an employer.
Free tools and guides
A free eligibility check asks a few short questions about your background and accomplishments and returns an eligibility snapshot with suggested areas to strengthen. The site says it takes under five minutes, needs no login, and is for information only, not legal advice or a guarantee of eligibility. The Insights section publishes articles on O-1A, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW and O-1B strategy, recommendation letters, monthly immigration news recaps and the US Visa Bulletin.
Pricing and how to engage
The site does not publish AgoraVisa's own service fees. The O-1 page cites government costs, including a $460 I-129 filing fee and $2,805 for premium processing. To engage, the site suggests taking the eligibility check, booking a free consultation called a Clarity Call, and then starting a case through the client portal. General questions go to info@agoravisa.com.
Why it matters in the DMV ecosystem
Many founders in the DC region are immigrants weighing a work visa or green card path. AgoraVisa is one option for organizing an O-1 or EB-1A case, but because it is not a law firm, founders should get case specific legal advice from a licensed attorney.
