Deliverables core capabilites we built

Client Data

Files, forms, and account details live in the portal, not scattered across inboxes and shared drives.

Synced accounts

Plaid keeps banking and credit data current, so the numbers in the system match the numbers at the bank.

Workflows

Billing, task assignment, reminders, and approvals follow rules your firm sets once and adjusts when it needs to.

AI context

RAG searches across reports, invoices, and client records, and returns each answer with its source document attached.

Outputs

Reports, filings, and client-ready insights come out of the same system that holds the underlying data.

The problem

IMMIGRATION WORKFLOWS, MANUAL

Applicants often relied heavily on lawyers for document preparation, eligibility guidance, and petition drafting. Managing supporting evidence manually made the process slow, expensive, and difficult for individuals to navigate independently.

For law firms, handling multiple client cases, reviewing documents, and managing communication created additional operational overhead.

Manual document preparation

Forms, evidence, and exhibits assembled by hand for every case.

Complex USCIS evidence requirements

Each visa category demands its own proof, and the rules shift.

Heavy reliance on legal support workflows

Routine steps still needed an attorney or paralegal to move them.
