AI tools for US immigration lawyers (2026)

The tools US immigration attorneys, firms and DOJ-accredited representatives are looking at in 2026, what each one actually does, and which kind of practice it suits.

Last updated: 18 October 2026

Four kinds of tool

"AI for immigration" covers very different products. It helps to know which job you are trying to speed up:

• Case management and forms platforms: the system that holds the matter: forms, client portal, deadlines, billing and, often, e-filing. Docketwise, eimmigration, INSZoom, Neutrinet and Filevine work here, and most now add AI that reads documents.
• AI form filling from documents: reading the client's documents and filling the government form. Aion, Lexfill and Parley work here.
• Research and drafting: finding authority and drafting petition letters, briefs and declarations. Visalaw.ai works here, and Parley covers drafting too.
• General practice management: matters, time and billing for firms of any practice area, with AI added. Clio.

Most firms will end up with tools from more than one group. A form filler does not replace your case management system, and a research tool will not fill a USCIS form.

At a glance

Aion

What it does: Aion fills the official, current-edition USCIS PDF from the client's own documents. Your team uploads passports, prior filings, I-94s and questionnaires as files, a folder or a .zip. Aion extracts everything into one summary and flags anything missing or contradictory. Your firm checks and edits the summary, then Aion fills the form field by field, with your attorney or preparer details copied exactly from your firm profile so they match the G-28.

Anything the documents do not answer is outlined in red on the PDF and listed in the app with a note. Your team can type the answer in the app, or mark a value "correct as is", and download a corrected PDF, or edit it in Acrobat. Aion returns an unsigned draft. It never signs, never files, and never logs into myUSCIS or any USCIS account.

Forms: 28 USCIS forms: I-130, I-130A, I-864, I-129F, I-485 with Supplement A, I-765, I-765WS, I-131, I-693, I-140, I-129 (H-1B and H-2A), I-907, I-539, I-539A, I-90, AR-11, I-912, N-400, N-336, N-565, N-600, N-600K, I-589, I-821, I-821D and G-28. Each form's fields are checked box by box against the printed USCIS form before it goes live. For a client who needs several, such as the I-485, I-765 and I-131, you pick them all at the start: the documents are read once and each form comes back as its own PDF, using one credit per form.

What it does not do: case management, a client portal, e-filing, document generation beyond forms, or legal research. It is a form filler.

Data: documents are stored in a private, encrypted AWS bucket in us-east-1 (N. Virginia). Each application runs in its own single-use isolated container, which is destroyed afterwards. Original documents are deleted as soon as extraction succeeds, everything else within 24 hours, with a 2-day bucket deletion rule as a backstop. Aion uses Anthropic's Claude through the commercial API, which does not train on customer data. Aion does not hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification yet and is reviewing both. It will complete security questionnaires and share its risk assessment on request. See the security summary.

Pricing: in US dollars, with no hidden fees. Solo is $999.99 a month for 20 forms ($50.00 each) or $9,990 a year. Team is $2,499.99 a month for 50 forms ($50.00 each) or $24,990 a year. Firm is $4,499 a month for 100 forms ($44.99 each) or $44,990 a year ($37.49 each). Annual billing is two months free. Unused monthly credits roll over while you are subscribed. Pay as you go is $250 per form with no subscription. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial; a card is required up front and nothing is charged during the trial. Current prices.

Suits: firms and DOJ-accredited representatives who file a steady volume of the forms above and want the PDF filled from documents rather than re-keyed, alongside whatever system they already use to run matters.

Docketwise

What it does: Docketwise is cloud case management software built for immigration, owned by 8am (formerly AffiniPay) and founded in 2016. Its Smart Forms combine any number of forms into one multilingual questionnaire that the client completes by email or text, and the answers populate the forms. Its help center lists more than 100 USCIS, DOL, DOS and EOIR forms. Around that sit a client portal, USCIS case status updates, tasks, calendar, time tracking, invoicing, trust accounting and CRM.

AI: its IQ tools include a Document Assistant, which its site says extracts data from scanned passports, green cards, EADs and I-94s and enters it into Smart Forms, and a Writing Assistant for editing and translating client communications. Its pricing page lists both from the Pro plan up.

E-filing: on Pro and Advanced, Docketwise e-files forms with USCIS (I-129, I-130, I-765, I-907, G-28, N-400 and H-1B electronic registration), DOL FLAG and DOS CEAC.

Pricing: per user per month with unlimited cases. Its pricing page lists Basic at $80 or $90, Pro at $100 or $120 and Advanced at $120 or $140, depending on yearly or monthly billing. It offers a free trial.

Suits: firms that want one system for the whole matter, from intake to e-filing and billing. See our side-by-side comparison.

eimmigration

What it does: case management software from Cerenade for law firms and non-profits. For forms, you select the forms a client needs and a preferred language, and its AI-assisted forms compile the questionnaires and forms into one packet, translate it into 13 languages, and populate the forms as the client answers. Clients can review their completed USCIS forms in their own language.

AI: its AI Workmates include an Extractor that populates client and case profiles from passports, intake forms, USCIS receipts and other PDFs, including handwritten ones. Others translate, answer plain-language reporting questions, and summarize documents. Its site also lists e-filing, e-signature, case tracking, a client portal and billing.

Pricing: per user per month, with no per-case fees. Starter is $55, Essentials $82 and Complete $100 billed annually, or $60, $90 and $110 billed monthly. Its pricing comparison says e-filing is one of the premium features, of which Starter includes one, Essentials four and Complete all. It lists a 50% discount for registered non-profits.

Suits: law firms and non-profits that want a full immigration practice system with multilingual client intake.

INSZoom (Mitratech)

What it does: INSZoom is Mitratech's immigration case management platform for law firms, corporations and non-profits. Mitratech's pages describe a library of 2,000+ forms and questionnaires, government e-filing integrations, expirations tracking, workflow and task management, document management, billing, and employer and employee stakeholder portals.

AI: Mitratech's GovNoticeIDP reads scanned USCIS receipt and approval notices and routes the data into case records. In June 2026 Mitratech announced INSZoom integrations with Visalaw AI, Lawfully and Candle AI, and previewed a client portal that extracts data from uploaded documents into client and case records. We found no description of INSZoom filling a form from client documents, so it has a cross in the table above.

Pricing: not published. Its packages page lists features but no prices. Mitratech has a demo request page.

Suits: firms and corporate immigration teams that need a large forms library and government e-filing integrations in one platform.

Neutrinet (AILaw)

What it does: immigration case management from AILaw Inc., built for immigration practice since 2018. Its site cites 388 federal form templates, more than 80 USCIS and DOL form types and more than 89 prebuilt case templates. Clients complete one Smart Worksheet and Neutrinet reuses the answers across supported forms. It prepares filing data for the USCIS, CEAC and FLAG portals, and your attorney reviews and submits on the government site. Clients get an 18-language portal at no charge.

AI: Neutrinet Agent runs software steps from plain-language requests. Its site says the Agent can also "fill out forms, draft letters, or review evidence across documents" and bring the result to an attorney for review.

Pricing: per named user. Premium is $1,000 a year and Pro is $1,600 a year billed annually, with month-to-month billing at higher rates. Ultra, a whole-firm annual plan, is by quote. Agent credit packs start at $500 for 100 credits.

Suits: immigration firms that want case management, shared client worksheets and an AI agent in one system.

Filevine ImmigrationAI

What it does: ImmigrationAI is a companion app to Filevine's case management system. Its site says it can "fill out USCIS forms in seconds by extracting information from any document in any language", generate the forms and questionnaire a client needs, translate questionnaires into up to 170 languages, and show real-time USCIS and NVC case status. You review, finalize and submit in the same place.

Limits it states: the translations are not human-translated, and the site says the technology is used "to minimize errors, not avoid them entirely". We found no list of supported forms on the page. It says form updates reach the app within 72 hours of a government change.

Pricing: not published. The page offers a demo.

Suits: firms already on Filevine who want form filling inside it.

Lexfill

What it does: Lexfill describes itself as "the AI paralegal for immigration attorneys". Its assistant, Lex, runs guided client intake in English, Spanish, Turkish or Arabic, reads passports and certificates, fills the profile and the form, traces each value back to its source, flags inconsistent answers, requests missing documents and assembles filing packets with exhibits. Attorneys approve or reject each upload, and its site says nothing is filed automatically.

Forms and cases: the forms it names include I-130, I-485, I-765, I-140, I-129, I-589 and N-400, across marriage and employment green cards, asylum, O-1, OPT, naturalization and family petitions. The firm back office adds a client portal, invoicing, scheduling, an EOIR case tracker, and a Clio sync.

How documents reach the form: its help center describes two starts, a questionnaire link sent to the client or a document upload. Uploaded documents fill the client profile, which you confirm, and the forms fill from the profile. It says Lex "doesn't yet read the other parties on a case, such as a spouse or sponsor", so their details come from the questionnaire or your team. The help center counts thirteen USCIS forms.

Data: its site lists SOC 2 Type II as in progress, so the certification is not complete.

Pricing: the first 3 cases are free with no credit card. Full pricing is on request.

Suits: small and mid-sized practices that want intake, form filling and packet assembly from one assistant. Lexfill is the closest product to Aion on this list, and it goes further into intake and practice operations.

Parley

What it does: Parley, from Parley Technologies, Inc., started in immigration and now describes itself as a legal agent for legal teams. Its site says the agent can draft, research and fill forms, with Microsoft Word and Outlook integrations. For immigration it says it auto-fills I-129, I-140, I-907 and G-28 from passports, I-94s, I-797 receipts, offer letters and company documents, flags missing data, and has an attorney approve each field before export to a PDF packet.

Data: its site lists SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, zero data retention and no AI model training.

Pricing: Starter is $500 a month, usage-based with a set amount of AI credits and up to 10 shared seats. Enterprise is on request. It offers a free trial.

Suits: practices that draft petitions in Microsoft Word and file employment-based forms such as the I-129 and I-140.

Visalaw.ai

What it does: an AI research and drafting platform built for immigration law, with answers that carry citations and draw on AILA and AILALink content. It also extracts data from client documents, organizes case documents into shared projects, and drafts petition letters and briefs from the documents on a matter. Its site says it is SOC 2 Type II certified with no data retention.

Form filling: its site does not mention filling government forms. It integrates with other systems; eimmigration and Mitratech's INSZoom both list it.

Pricing: Core is $220 a month per license and Pro is $480 a month, both billed annually. Pro is one Core license plus 10 petition and brief drafts a month. Drafts are $150 each pay as you go. Enterprise is custom. Its site offers a 2-week trial after a demo.

Suits: research and drafting work such as petition letters, briefs and RFE responses, rather than form preparation.

Clio

What it does: Clio Manage is practice management software used across practice areas, and Clio Work is its legal AI product. Clio's immigration page describes custom intake forms, custom fields for details such as passport numbers, document templates filled from those fields, and deadline calendaring.

Form filling: that page says to sync Clio with tools like Docketwise or PrimaFacie to prepare immigration forms. We found no claim that Clio fills USCIS forms itself.

Pricing: from $49 per user a month across four plans: Starter, Core, Signature and Elite. Its site says it is SOC 2 Type II certified.

Suits: firms that handle several practice areas and want AI inside the system that runs the rest of the firm.

Services, not software

Two names you may see in search results are law firms, not tools your firm can license. Casium describes itself as "the alternative to the traditional law firm", where its attorneys file visas for employers and individuals. Alma calls itself "a modern immigration law firm" for companies and individuals. They compete for the same clients as you do, so they are not in the table.

What to ask any vendor

The American Bar Association's Formal Opinion 512 (July 2024) sets out the duties lawyers carry when using generative AI, including competence, confidentiality, communication and supervision. State bars add their own guidance. Before you upload a client's file anywhere, ask:

1. Is the vendor our service provider under a written data processing agreement?
2. Where are documents stored and processed, and which sub-processors see them?
3. How quickly are originals and extracted data deleted?
4. Is client data used to train any model?
5. Does the vendor hold SOC 2 Type 2 or ISO 27001, and will it share the report?
6. Does a person at our firm review every field before anything is signed or filed?
7. Can the tool ever sign or file with USCIS on its own?

We go through these in more detail in Is it safe to use AI for US immigration forms?
