The interest letter is the whole of what we ask an employer to do. Here is exactly what it is — and everything it is not.
The interest letter is the entire ask. Everything else on this site exists so that writing one feels as routine as it is.
Four short paragraphs: (1) your company and what it does; (2) the role or project and why this candidate fits it; (3) your intent to engage them if authorized; (4) contact details of someone USCIS could reach. We provide a skeleton when you respond to a candidate, and your counsel can review it in minutes — the legal read belongs to your attorney; the drafting mechanics are handled.
Why so small an ask works: the O-1 requires evidence that real engagements await the candidate. A page from a real company carries that weight. Five minutes of your time is often the difference between a world-class person getting to work and their case waiting another year.
A short, non-binding statement that your company would engage the candidate if they are authorized to work. It is not an offer, not a contract, and not a petition. See the full description.
The letter is non-binding. Hiring decisions stay yours, on your paper, at your pace.
