Extraordinary Talent.
Evidence-Driven Cases.
DossierIQ turns your awards, publications, press, and patents into a scored, gap-analyzed extraordinary-ability dossier — powered by live USPTO patent data, Crossref publications, and NewsAPI press coverage, all mapped to the official USCIS extraordinary-ability criteria.
See it in under a minute
From a rough idea of your chances to a dossier you can hand to your attorney — here's the whole flow.
The machinery
Real evidence integrations — not screenshots. Each source feeds specific USCIS criteria, and every automated hit is suggested for your confirmation before it enters your dossier.
USPTO Open Data Portal
Patent records — what it contributes. Searches the live USPTO Patent File Wrapper API (api.uspto.gov) by exact-phrase inventor name and keeps granted patents — patent number plus grant date — for Criterion 5 (Original Contributions of Major Significance).
Crossref
Publications — what it contributes. Queries the official, keyless Crossref REST API (api.crossref.org) for publication metadata — title, DOI, journal, publication date, and your author position — feeding Criterion 6 (Authorship of Scholarly Articles).
NewsAPI
Press — what it contributes. Searches press mentions by beneficiary name via NewsAPI.org (v2/everything) for Criterion 3 (Published Material About You). The key is registered and stays server-side only — never in URLs, logs, or client code.
Google Scholar
Citations — what it will contribute. Citation counts and h-index would strengthen Criteria 5 and 6. This integration is planned, not yet live — and we label it honestly here and in-app rather than counting it before it ships.
End to end: intake to dossier
Five stages, one continuous pipeline. You can stop after the free assessment — or go all the way to the watermarked dossier.
Intake
Describe your achievements in plain language, or connect a data source. Two minutes, no account needed.
Evidence analysis
Every item is mapped to the USCIS criterion it supports and scored against a documented rubric, factor by factor.
Gap analysis
The exact criteria below threshold are named, with what's missing stated plainly — no hand-waving.
90-day plan
A concrete action plan ordered by effort-to-impact, so the next three months close the gaps that matter.
Watermarked PDF dossier
An indexed, attorney-ready PDF — licensed to your email, watermarked on every page, ready to hand over.
Who it helps
Built for everyone who touches an extraordinary-ability petition.
O-1A / EB-1A applicants
See exactly where your case stands before you spend thousands on filing fees — and know precisely what to do for the next 90 days to strengthen it.
Immigration attorneys
Receive a scored, gap-analyzed file instead of a shoebox of PDFs. The fifteen minutes you'd spend organizing become fifteen minutes of legal judgment.
Talent evaluators
A reproducible, rubric-scored read of an extraordinary-ability record — every score traceable to documented factors, never a black box.

Competitor facts from each company's public website (timelineofyou.app, xtraordinarypetitions.com, ailaw.ai) as of October 2026. “Not stated” means the feature is not publicly claimed — not that it is absent. Attorney retainers for O-1 / EB-1A petitions commonly run $5,000–$15,000+; DossierIQ is priced as a preparation tool, not a substitute for counsel.

Questions
What is DossierIQ?
DossierIQ is a document-preparation tool that compiles your achievements into a structured O-1A / EB-1A extraordinary-ability evidence dossier: per-criterion scoring, a gap analysis, and a 90-day action plan.
Is DossierIQ a law firm?
No. DossierIQ is a document preparation tool, not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. All petition materials should be reviewed by a licensed immigration attorney before filing with USCIS. Use of this tool does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Which data sources does DossierIQ connect to?
Three evidence APIs today: the USPTO Open Data Portal for patent records (Criterion 5), Crossref for publication metadata (Criterion 6), and NewsAPI for press mentions (Criterion 3). Google Scholar citation data is planned. Every automated hit is suggested for your confirmation — nothing enters your dossier without your say-so.
What does the $249 cover?
One case, one payment: full criterion-by-criterion scoring with factor-level explanations, a gap analysis, a 90-day action plan, and a watermarked PDF dossier licensed to your email, ready to hand to your attorney. No subscription, no upsells.
What happens to my documents?
Your documents are never used to train models and are automatically deleted 30 days after processing. We never sell or share your data. Prompts are loaded from AES-256-encrypted environment variables, and every API call carries a JWT token scoped to your paid case.
Can DossierIQ guarantee an approval?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. USCIS adjudicates every petition on its own merits. What DossierIQ guarantees is rigor: every criterion scored against a documented rubric, every gap named, every next step planned.
Do I still need an immigration attorney?
Yes. DossierIQ organizes and scores your evidence so you — and your attorney, if you have one — can see exactly where your case stands. All petition materials should be reviewed by a licensed immigration attorney before filing with USCIS.
