About PassRight

We have been
where you are.

PassRight was started by people who went through U.S. immigration themselves.

We know how it feels to put your career and your family's future into one application. That is why we built a team that plans every case properly, treats you with care, and keeps you informed at every step.

Our story

From our own visa to
2,000+ cases.

Like many companies, PassRight started with our founders' own story. We went through U.S. immigration ourselves.

The process is important and life-changing, yet most people go through it without guidance, updates, or a clear sense of what happens next. We believed it could be done with far more care and far more structure.

  1. 2016

    The beginning

    PassRight starts helping international founders connect with experienced immigration attorneys.

  2. 2018

    Building our method

    Connecting people was not enough. We built our own tools and process to organize each case around a clear plan.

  3. 2023

    One dedicated law firm

    We chose to work with one law firm, the Law Offices of Jacob J. Sapochnick, so every client keeps the same legal team from start to finish.

  4. Today

    Strategy first

    Every case starts with a plan from your attorney, and our team makes sure it is carried out, step by step.

Head of operations

Inese designs the systems behind every case: checklists, timelines, and updates. Her goal is simple: nothing falls through the cracks, and you always know what comes next.

What we believe

Fewer clients, more care.

Time for every case

We take on a limited number of cases, so each one gets the attention it deserves.

Technology where it helps

We build our own tools to stay organized. Your petition is written by people, because USCIS looks for specifics, not generic text.

Your plans come first

We plan your immigration around your life and business: a fundraise, a new role, or a move with your family.

  • 100+ countries
