Accelerate O‑1A petition drafting with evidence‑aware first drafts, Word‑native editing, and one‑click exhibit assembly—built for attorney‑in‑the‑loop review.

Resources

Introduction

O-1A petitions are evidence-heavy and time-consuming to draft. Parley automates first-draft generation directly from source-of-truth documents, assembling persuasive, USCIS-aligned narratives and exhibits that attorneys refine in Microsoft Word. This page details how evidence-driven first drafts work for O-1A, shows before/after timelines, maps O-1A criteria to Parley automations, and links to live samples. See the broader overview at /o1-petition-drafting-automation. For platform capabilities and security, see the Parley website, Privacy Policy, and independent coverage in Business Insider and Legal Technology Hub.

What “evidence‑driven first drafts” means

Parley converts attorney-provided files and structured info into a complete first draft for attorney review:

  • Evidence ingestion: Upload resumes/CVs, offer letters, publications, media clippings, awards, contracts, prior petitions, and more to create a single source of truth. Parley website

  • Automated research enrichment: The AI Research Agent augments the file set with media metrics, industry context, and salary/market benchmarks where needed. About Parley

  • Targeted drafting: Parley drafts the petition body, reference/support letters, and exhibit lists with quotes pulled from the evidence and correctly attributed inline. Parley website

  • Word-native editing: Attorneys iterate in Microsoft Word via Parley’s Word integration/plug‑in; outputs also support Google Docs. Legal Technology Hub profile

  • One‑click assembly: Exhibits are combined into a single, styled PDF package with consistent pagination and labeling. Parley website

  • Security by design: SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance support firm and enterprise adopters handling sensitive client data. Parley website, Privacy Policy
