The Challenge
The Challenge
Issues with existing visa intake
Applicants and attorneys faced a manual, unstructured intake process leading to inefficiencies, lack of clarity, and slow case assessments.
01
Manual processes
Intake and document collection were handled manually through email and phone, causing delays and errors.
02
Disconnected tools
No integrated platform existed, requiring attorneys to gather and review scattered documents without automated scoring.
03
Poor user experience
Applicants had no visibility into the progress or likelihood of visa approval during intake.
04
Long intake cycles
Weeks could pass before an applicant learned if their case was viable due to slow manual processing.
