Turn immigration risk into strategic advantage.
WayLit handles immigration end-to-end so your HR team gets visibility, predictability, and fewer fire drills. Without adding more work to your plate.
You are accountable for outcomes, but buried in the busywork.
HR is expected to keep immigration compliant, predictable, and employee-friendly. But traditional processes leave you tracking deadlines, chasing attorneys, translating emails for employees, and uncovering risks.
Too many moving parts
Immigration lives across emails, spreadsheets, and scattered tools, creating unnecessary work, confusion, and tracking nightmares.
Reactive risks
Delays, renewals, and compliance gaps surface only when urgent, pulling HR into fire drills. Lack of transparency and forecasting always keeps you on the back foot.
Double as a paralegal
HR becomes the bridge between attorneys and employees, translating legal language, fielding case questions, and carrying the emotional load when employees need clarity or reassurance.
Less chasing. More leading.
Give your HR team structure, foresight, and support, without growing headcount.
Clarity without digging
One place for status, timelines, renewals, and risk. No more digging through legal threads.
Predictable operations
Clear workflows, automated reminders, and attorneys who keep cases moving.
Employee support
We guide employees year-round, so HR isn’t the middle. But stays fully in the know.
Compliance & forecasting
Automated monitoring, renewal planning, budget visibility, and risk prevention
"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."

How does WayLit’s platform actually reduce HR workload?
WayLit automates the admin that clogs HR time — reminders, document tracking, compliance checks, and task follow-ups — while our team of attorneys and case managers handle filings and employee questions. You get visibility without being the one chasing progress.
What benefits will I see?
People leaders have reduced their immigration workload by up to 80%. You get time back and control forward — no more manual tracking, no more stress about things falling through the cracks. We surface what needs action, add context so you can make informed decisions, and keep employees supported. What would you do with 100+ additional hours?
How is WayLit different from a law firm?
Law firms just file cases, leaving you to do the heavy lifting. WayLit manages the entire immigration function — combining experienced attorneys with a platform that gives HR visibility, automation, and employee support all in one place.
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 be for me?
Very little. We handle data migration, active case reviews, and employee communications for you. You approve the plan — we execute it. Most teams are fully transitioned within two weeks without interrupting any ongoing cases.

Our team syncs employee data, reviews active cases, and helps define your immigration policy. A dedicated onboarding manager guides your team through every step.
We’re not actively hiring — does it make sense to switch providers?
Yes. Immigration management isn’t just about active filings — it’s about keeping records compliant, renewals on track, and employees supported year-round.WayLit helps HR stay ready for hiring surges, policy changes, and audits — so when things pick up, you’re ahead instead of starting from scratch.

WayLit connects immigration data to workforce planning.We help HR forecast renewals, work authorization timelines, and mobility costs — turning immigration from a reactive process into a strategic advantage for talent planning and leadership visibility.
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?
Yes. Every client is represented by senior-level immigration attorneys who oversee all filings and ensure every case meets government standards.
