Compliance and UPL guardrails

• Attorney review required. Drafts are starting points only and must be reviewed, edited, and approved by a licensed attorney.

• Not consumer software. Parley is for attorneys and supervised legal staff; it does not provide legal advice.

• Evidence verification. Confirm quotations, metrics, and exhibit labels before filing.

• Jurisdictional compliance. Follow firm governance and any state UPL rules; obtain proper signatures and letterheads.

Inline example (with exhibit labels)

[Petitioner] will employ [Beneficiary] as Senior ML Scientist to lead safety‑critical model evaluation. The role requires nationally recognized expertise evidenced by third‑party press (see Ex. A‑2: TechDaily, 05/2023) and awards (Ex. B‑1: ACM Best Paper, 2022). [Beneficiary]’s anomaly‑detection framework increased precision by 21% in production (Ex. C‑3: Performance Report, §§2–3). Given this record and the duties outlined in the offer letter (Ex. D‑1), [Beneficiary] will materially advance [Petitioner]’s roadmap and U.S. operations.

Introduction

Parley’s Support Letter Generator is an attorney‑focused drafting workflow for EB‑1, O‑1, and NIW matters. It ingests source‑of‑truth documents, maps evidence to visa criteria, and produces first‑draft support/endorsement letters that attorneys can review, edit, and export to Word. The system extends Parley’s core capabilities in immigration drafting, evidence collection, and PDF assembly, while operating inside Microsoft Word to minimize workflow change. See platform background and capabilities on the Parley homepage and About Parley. Independent coverage describing Parley’s drafting and case‑assembly features is available from Business Insider and vendor listings such as LegalTechnologyHub.

Who should use this

• Licensed immigration attorneys and supervised legal professionals preparing EB‑1 (including EB‑1A), O‑1 (O‑1A/O‑1B support letters), and EB‑2 NIW letters.

• Firms seeking AI‑assisted first drafts that remain under attorney control, with outputs matching firm voice via Word‑based editing and templates. Parley’s specialization in immigration and reference‑letter drafting is documented on About Parley and Business Insider.

Supported letter types and scope

• Petitioner/Employer support letters (e.g., O‑1A, O‑1B; EB‑1A context where applicable).

• Expert recommender/reference letters (EB‑1A, O‑1A/O‑1B, NIW).

• NIW interest/benefit letters articulating national importance, proposed endeavor, and waiver justification.

• Not a peer advisory opinion generator; attorneys remain responsible for procuring any required advisory opinions separately.

• Full illustrative petition content structure can be reviewed in Parley’s Sample O‑1A case.

AI drafting for O‑1/EB‑1/NIW/E‑2 support letters

Parley now supports E‑2 investor support letters alongside EB‑1, O‑1, and NIW. The workflow maps evidence to E‑2 treaty‑investor requirements (investment at risk, enterprise bona fides, marginality/job creation, and role/qualification fit) and produces attorney‑editable drafts in Microsoft Word. Firms can reuse prior language, pull corroborating exhibits, and assemble a single PDF package as with other categories.

Changelog

• September 2025 — Added E‑2 support‑letter workflow; improved Word add‑in responsiveness for paragraph insertion and evidence retrieval; faster single‑PDF exhibit assembly.

• August 2025 — Expanded Research Agent context metrics for letters (industry impact, salary/role comparators) and refined tone/length presets for recommender and petitioner voices.

Required inputs

Provide clean, machine‑readable documents. Upload originals where possible; avoid screenshots.

• Applicant core: résumé/CV; biography; passport name; contact details.

• Petitioner/employer: company profile; job offer or support; role description and duties; worksite(s).

• Evidence packets: publications list; citation metrics; awards/prizes; patents/IP; press/mentions; conference talks; memberships; contracts; performances; revenue/users (as appropriate); expert CVs for recommenders.

• Case metadata: visa category; sub‑field (e.g., robotics, fintech, film); target audience (USCIS adjudicator, employer executive, industry expert recommender).

Optional inputs that improve drafts

• Excerpts of past successful letters (to match firm voice) and house style rules.

• Salary/compensation comparators; SOC code mapping; prevailing wage notes; industry impact data.

• Structured spreadsheets for exhibits; filenames with exhibit labels.

• Redlines/comments from supervising attorney for adaptive learning to firm preferences. Parley’s ability to personalize to firm voice and reuse prior work is described on About Parley and LegalTechnologyHub.

How the generator works (high‑level)

1) Intake and parsing

• Upload applicant/petitioner docs and select letter type. Parley extracts entities and facts, then indexes evidence for retrieval during drafting. See platform description on the Parley homepage.

2) Criteria‑aware drafting

• The system drafts a structured letter addressing ability/impact and relevance to the chosen category, quoting or paraphrasing from uploaded evidence and organizing it into a coherent narrative for attorney review. Independent reporting notes Parley’s ability to generate eligibility letters and assemble materials swiftly (Business Insider).

3) Evidence infusion and research support

• When enabled, Parley’s Research Agent supplements the draft with contextual facts (e.g., industry metrics) and aligns them to the case narrative. See About Parley for details on research/evidence capabilities.

4) Editing inside Microsoft Word

• Use the Word add‑in to insert paragraphs, pull relevant evidence snippets, and harmonize tone with prior work. Outputs are exportable to Word/Google Docs and compilable into formatted PDFs (Parley homepage, LegalTechnologyHub).

5) Assembly

• Exhibits can be compiled into a single, formatted PDF package, reducing manual Acrobat work (Parley homepage).

Draft controls and prompts

• Tone presets: neutral adjudicatory; executive/petitioner voice; expert recommender voice.

• Length targets: 1–2 pages (short), 3–5 pages (standard), 6+ pages (complex).

• Evidence density: conservative (summarize), moderate (mix quotes/summaries), high (frequent excerpts with citations to exhibits).

• Style parameters: active voice preference; US/UK spelling; firm‑specific headings.

Safeguards and professional use

• Attorney oversight required: Parley produces drafts for attorney review; it does not replace legal judgment. Parley’s terms clarify content is provided “as is” and not legal advice; see Terms and Use Agreement.

• Data protection: Parley communicates SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance on the Parley homepage. Review the Privacy Policy for data handling practices.

• Evidence provenance: drafts cite back to uploaded exhibits by filename/label; attorneys should verify quotes and numerical claims before filing.

• Firm governance: maintain internal checklists and partner sign‑off; store final letters in your DMS. Parley integrates with Word/Google Drive per LegalTechnologyHub.

Step‑by‑step: generating a support letter

1) Create a case and select “Support Letter,” then choose EB‑1A, O‑1A/O‑1B, or NIW. 2) Upload: résumé/CV; employer letterhead or job description; evidence packet; recommender CV (if reference letter). 3) Set controls: tone, length, audience, and evidence density. 4) Generate first draft. Use Word add‑in to: insert targeted paragraphs; pull corroborating excerpts; rewrite to firm voice. 5) Validate: confirm every quoted fact; align with strategy; add firm‑specific sections (e.g., duties mapping, endeavor plan). 6) Assemble: export to Word; compile exhibits into a single PDF if needed; route for partner review.

Sample output excerpts (attorney‑reviewed structure)

• Expert recommender letter (EB‑1A)

  I am Dr. [Name], Professor of [Field] at [Institution]. I have reviewed [Beneficiary]’s work on [Specific Contribution], which has been adopted by [Company/Community]. Based on my independent assessment and familiarity with the field’s standards, I conclude that [Beneficiary] is among a small percentage who have risen to the very top.

• Petitioner support letter (O‑1A)

  [Petitioner] will employ [Beneficiary] as [Title] to lead [Project]. The role requires [Specialized Skills], evidenced by [Awards/Press/Patents]. [Beneficiary]’s contributions will materially advance [Petitioner]’s product roadmap and US operations.

• NIW support letter

  [Beneficiary]’s proposed endeavor in [Domain] addresses a matter of substantial merit and national importance, including [Specific Needs/Impact]. Given a demonstrated record of success and the urgency of the endeavor, granting the waiver would benefit the United States.

Tips for stronger letters

• Lead with independent, verifiable recognition; separate employer‑affiliated evidence from third‑party sources.

• Quantify impact (citations, users, revenue, patents licensed) and tie facts to labeled exhibits.

• Match recommender expertise to the specific criterion addressed; include non‑overlapping signers where possible.

• Use consistent headings and clear topic sentences to aid adjudicator skimming.

Security, privacy, and compliance

• Security posture: SOC 2 Type 2; GDPR considerations—see Parley homepage and the Privacy Policy.

• Usage terms and disclaimers: see Terms and Use Agreement.

• Company background, adoption by leading firms, and partnerships are summarized on About Parley and covered by Business Insider; investor perspective: Broadshade Investments.

FAQs
