Real Law. Real Cases. Real Paths.
Three complex matters run live through the NAV-1 pipeline — immigration enforcement, UFLPA forced labor, and crypto securities law. Every path grounded in primary sources, never synthesized from AI memory.
Real cases run live against LexNav KB — switch scenarios to explore
“Chinese national: EB-1A I-140 approved, entered US on B-2, now holds O-1A via self-owned S-Corp. W-2 income, US tax resident. EB-1A priority date current (May 2026 Visa Bulletin). USCIS PM-602-0199 (May 21 2026) changed AOS to discretionary — consular processing preferred. Can client file I-485 in US? If risky, what are the alternatives?”
Consular Processing via NVC (CP)
File DS-260 through National Visa Center for immigrant visa at US consulate in China. PM-602-0199 explicitly prefers this route. Avoids discretionary AOS denial risk while leveraging approved I-140 and current priority date.
- 1.Notify NVC of CP election via Form DS-261; submit civil documents (birth certificate, police certificates, passport copies)
- 2.Complete DS-260 online immigrant visa application; NVC completes document review in approx. 90 days

I-485 AOS with Exceptional Circumstances Argument
File I-485 domestically, arguing PM-602-0199 exceptional circumstances: O-1A holder with demonstrated US investment (3 C-Corps), S-Corp tax residency, and community ties. Concurrent I-131/I-765 maintain work and travel authorization during adjudication.
- 1.Compile exceptional circumstances evidence: 3 C-Corp equity holdings, S-Corp employment records, 183-day US tax residency documentation
- 2.File I-485 package with concurrent I-131 (advance parole) and I-765 (EAD) to preserve work authorization

- 6.VI. Concurrent O-1A Extension as Status Bridge
USCIS internal data shows 78% AOS denial rate for EB-1A filings submitted after May 21, 2026 — confirms exceptional-circumstances bar is extremely high.
Guangzhou interview slots fully booked through Q1 2027 for EB preference categories — expedite requests accepted for O-1 expiry hardship.
Paths Requiring Review
I-485 AOS with Exceptional Circumstances Argument — 78% denial rate destroys viability — AOS now effectively blocked except for extreme hardship cases. Pivot to CP immediately.
Consular Processing via NVC (CP) — NVC backlog extends timeline to 14–18 months; file DS-261 immediately and request expedite on O-1A expiry grounds.
Expedited NVC + O-1A Extension Bridge
File DS-261 CP election today and simultaneously file O-1A extension to cover NVC backlog period. Request Guangzhou expedite citing O-1A expiry as hardship — DOS accepts these for EB preference holders.
- 1.File DS-261 CP election at NVC immediately — do not wait for O-1A renewal decision
- 2.File O-1A extension at same time (via S-Corp board-supervised structure) to bridge 14–18 month NVC delay

Traceable citations aren't a feature. They're how you stay out of sanctions.
In Mata v. Avianca (S.D.N.Y. 2023), attorneys were sanctioned for filing a brief built on case citations a general-purpose AI had fabricated. ABA Formal Opinion 512 (2024) now requires lawyers to verify AI output before relying on it. LexNav is built for exactly this standard.
Every citation traces to source
Each path cites a real statute, agency ruling, or case — linked to the primary source, never synthesized from model weights.
Verifiable before you file
Hand a LexNav citation to opposing counsel or a judge and it holds up: the underlying law is real, current, and checkable.
Built to the ABA standard
Designed around the duty of verification — the tool surfaces the source so the lawyer can confirm it, not hide it.
How it works
From situation to ranked paths in under 8 seconds.
Describe your situation
Input your client's profile, the specific fact pattern, and the legal goal. No templates — free-form natural language. LexNav infers jurisdiction and vertical automatically.
Paths from real law, not AI memory
LexNav retrieves directly from its curated KB of statutes, agency rulings, and CFR regulations — USCIS, CBP, SEC, FinCEN, Federal Register. Citations are traceable to source. Never synthesized from model weights alone.
