How long does SOP review take?

The Essential tier delivers an annotated document within 5 business days of submission. Basic turnaround is 7–10 business days. Enhanced adds a live video consultation scheduled within 3 business days.

Do you rewrite my SOP for me?

No. We mark edits, flag weak arguments, and note where evidence is missing. You implement the changes. This keeps the document in your voice and avoids misrepresentation.

What if my SOP is for a refusal recovery?

Choose the Enhanced tier. A live consultation lets you explain the refusal history and the attorney can flag how the new SOP should address the prior grounds without contradicting the record.

Is this attorney advice?

No. The Basic and Essential tiers are editorial review. The Enhanced tier includes a live consultation with a US-licensed attorney, but this is document-specific guidance, not retained legal representation. For case-specific legal advice, retain an immigration attorney.

Service

Statement of Purpose review for international students

A Statement of Purpose (SOP) is often the only part of a visa or university application where an officer reads your own words. A weak SOP can sink an otherwise strong file. MyCaseworks reviews your draft, marks edits, flags gaps, and—on the Essential and Enhanced tiers—has a US-licensed attorney check visa-relevant arguments for accuracy and consistency with your record.

Attorney review by US-licensed attorneys. Lead US-immigration reviewer is Denise Platter Cabrera (CA Bar #298948).

What is included

Annotated PDF with tracked changes and inline reviewer comments
Structure check: opening hook, evidence sequence, closing argument
Fact-consistency review against your CV, transcripts, and prior filings
Visa-risk flag: arguments that may contradict prior applications or embassy records
Written summary of the three strongest changes and why they matter
Optional live consultation (Enhanced tier) to walk through edits and answer questions
