1. The employment based conversion to a green card process.
2. The current setup seems to be designed from the perspective of someone who is being sponsored by a U.S. citizen (marriage or family based). E.g. I went through the process of selecting "Adjustment of status". Now the AoS happens in situations other than sponsorship. E.g. I got a diversity lottery and then did an adjustment of status here in the U.S.
In general, if you really have a background of well qualified immigration attorneys, you really need to leverage that know how in the process. The visa process is as much art as it is science. E.g. when I went for the visa interview, the only question he asked me was for my pay stub. Not really a super necessary document in this situation because I was eligible (by virtue of having a Masters degree) for this process. This sort of preparation comes not from reading the application but having know how through experience.
Also $79 is rather low if the objective is "End to end Green card application support". I frankly would be skeptical as to how good the support will be. This is not to say that there aren't lawyers who take $10K and do nothing. But you really need to up your price point to take into account the fact that there is a psychological belief that the best lawyer is an expensive one.
Thank you! Yes, we are likely going to raise prices due to perception. We offer free review by an immigration attorney or paralegal as well, but people seem to be in disbelief at our current prices. Seems odd, but raising prices is something we've considered.
We're thinking about entering the employment based space as well.
Also, I don't know how good you guys are as lawyers but really you should emphasize the hell out of that more: connect to avvo reviews, background information. Right now, the site looks like a DIY guide to the green card. While that may be the intention, you should probably rejig it such that the lawyer bit gets emphasized.
It also depends on your target demographic. If your target demographic is nice clean cases of U.S. citizens sponsoring their wives or whatever, then I think you are good. If not, make it look more "lawyery" will only help.

Thanks again for the advice.
