See immigration risk, costs, and priorities in one place
WayLit brings case tracking, employee support, and partner-attorney guidance into one service. HR leaders can review program priorities, expected costs, and the employer decisions that need attention.
HR needs current immigration information to make timely decisions
When cases, deadlines, and employee questions sit across providers and spreadsheets, HR spends time collecting updates and has less time to address emerging risks.
Scattered case information
Case status, deadlines, costs, and documents often sit across email, spreadsheets, and separate provider systems.
Reactive risks
Delays, renewals, and compliance gaps often become visible only when they are urgent, leaving HR little time to respond.
HR becomes the communication layer
HR translates legal updates, answers case questions, and relays information between employees and outside counsel.
One view of cases, costs, compliance, and employee support
Use shared case information to review deadlines, costs, and open decisions. WayLit coordinates case work with partner attorneys; HR retains program priorities, approvals, and employer responsibilities.
Program information in one place
See case status, timelines, renewals, costs, and risks without assembling updates from separate sources.
Consistent case management
Defined workflows and reminders show who owns the next task. Partner attorneys guide legal requirements and filings, while the case team coordinates follow-up.
Employee support
Employees have direct support from the case team and partner attorneys throughout the year. HR stays involved in sponsorship, budget, and employment decisions.
Compliance planning and forecasting
Review upcoming expirations, renewal preparation, expected spend, and open employer actions with the case team and partner counsel.
"WayLit brought organization and structure we never had with a law firm. It was a no-brainer once we saw how much time it saved our team."

Immigration FAQs for HR Leaders
Answers about contracts, data security, global coverage, reporting, and the cost of running an immigration program.
How does WayLit’s platform reduce HR workload?
The platform organizes reminders, documents, deadlines, and assigned tasks. Case managers coordinate next steps and employee updates, while partner attorneys handle legal advice and filings within the agreed scope. HR maintains current company information and completes employer decisions and obligations.
What benefits can we expect?
HR gets a shared view of cases, deadlines, and assigned tasks. The case team coordinates document requests and employee updates, helping HR identify the decisions and employer actions that still need its attention.
How is WayLit different from a law firm?
WayLit coordinates the immigration program through case tracking, document workflows, and employee communication. Partner immigration attorneys provide legal representation, advice, and filing work within the engagement scope. HR can see case status, deadlines, and assigned responsibilities in the platform.
Do I need an internal immigration expert to use WayLit?
No. WayLit provides the platform, immigration managers, and senior attorneys so you don’t need in-house expertise. Your team handles only strategic approvals while we manage day-to-day tasks, employee questions, filings, and compliance.
How much work will transferring to WayLit require from me?
HR provides the employee roster, company information, sponsorship approvals, and access to the relevant case records. WayLit coordinates the handover and case review with the current provider and partner attorneys. The effort and timing depend on record completeness, active deadlines, and the agreed service scope.
Can employees access the platform directly?
Yes. Employees can securely upload documents, track case status, and receive updates directly in the platform. This reduces routine status questions for HR.
Does WayLit support immigration outside the U.S.?
Yes. WayLit supports employer-sponsored immigration across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. HR teams manage their country programs through one platform and one service team.
What kind of human support do we get?
Case managers and an HR success partner coordinate updates and employee questions, with partner immigration attorneys handling legal guidance. Confirm the communication channels, business hours, response commitments, and urgent escalation process in your service scope.
Can we integrate WayLit with our HRIS or ATS?
Yes. WayLit connects with major HR systems to sync information about new hires, terminations, and status changes, reducing duplicate data entry.
How long does onboarding take?
Your onboarding plan sets the scope and timing after the team reviews active cases, available employee information, current provider handover, and required workflows. Agree on owners and milestones before the transition, especially for cases with upcoming deadlines.
Should we switch providers if we are not actively hiring?
It can still be a good time to switch. Between hiring cycles, HR needs to track renewals, maintain records, support employees, and prepare for policy changes or audits. Moving now gives your team time to organize the program before hiring picks up.
What security documentation should we review before using WayLit?
Request current documentation for the service your company will use. Review any certification's issuing body, validity dates, and scope, together with access permissions, encryption, data locations, retention, and incident-handling practices. Have your security and privacy teams assess the evidence and agree on requirements before employee records are shared. Use WayLit's contact page to ask for the relevant documentation.
What kind of reporting or dashboards does HR get?
You’ll see real-time status updates for every case, upcoming expirations, and spend visibility across regions. Reports are automated or can be generated with one click.
How does WayLit help with workforce planning and strategy?
WayLit connects case data with workforce planning. HR can forecast renewals, work authorization timelines, mobility costs, and upcoming hiring needs, giving leaders a clearer view of program risk and budget.
Does the platform replace our current law firm or work alongside it?
WayLit can do either. Most clients fully transition to WayLit’s legal network; some keep their existing counsel and use WayLit for visibility, compliance, and employee communication.
Will we have legal representation?
Partner immigration attorneys provide legal representation and advice within the agreed engagement scope. Confirm the responsible attorney, covered work, and escalation process when your program or case begins.
