Manage immigration alongside the rest of HR
WayLit coordinates documents, employee updates, and case follow-up with partner immigration attorneys. HR can see assigned tasks and deadlines while keeping company information current and making employer decisions.
Keep immigration cases moving with less HR follow-up
HR supports employees and tracks expirations alongside the rest of the people function. Shared case information and assigned owners help HR identify the decisions and actions that need attention.
Chasing case updates
HR often contacts attorneys, employees, and managers repeatedly to confirm status, collect documents, and keep work moving.
Employee questions
Employees turn to you for clear answers even when the process and timing sit with outside counsel or government agencies.
Case information in too many places
Expirations, documents, and timelines can sit across several tools, making it difficult to see what needs action.
Clear ownership for routine case work
The case team coordinates routine follow-up and employee communication. Partner attorneys guide legal requirements; HR provides employment information and completes company approvals and employer actions.
Clear visibility
Check timelines, case status, expirations, and required HR actions in one place.
Consistent case follow-through
WayLit follows up on documents, tasks, and case movement so HR can focus on decisions that require its input.
Employee confidence
Employees receive case updates, document instructions, and guidance from the team and partner attorneys throughout the year.
Planned renewals and compliance work
Track upcoming expirations and preparation steps, confirm case-specific requirements with partner counsel, and complete the HR tasks assigned to your team.
"I don’t have to chase anyone anymore. If something needs to happen, it happens — and I finally trust the process. Our employees finally had visibility, and HR wasn’t stuck relaying updates between them and the lawyers."

Immigration FAQs for HR Professionals
Practical answers to common questions about cases, employees, compliance, and working with WayLit.
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.
Can I talk directly to the attorneys representing us?
Yes. You can contact your attorneys by email or schedule a call when you need legal guidance or help with an escalation. Your HR success partner coordinates communication and keeps the appropriate people informed.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
