WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for immigration firms
with a real methodology — not generic workflows.
Most founders try freelancers, AI tools, or stretch their small team. It starts fast — then breaks down.
Boutique Immigration Firms
For solo, boutique, and small mid-size immigration firms with 1–50 staff and a clear way of handling cases.
Flat-Fee Visa Work
Best for firms handling O-1, EB-1, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, L-1, H-1B, EB-5, or E-2 cases on a flat-fee model.
Proprietary Methodology
Your questionnaires, scoring logic, evidence checklists, and review process are your IP — we turn them into software.
Growing Case Volume
Designed for firms processing 30+ similar cases per year and looking to scale with paralegals without losing quality.
Repeatable Case Types
Best for firms with predictable visa workflows where the same steps, documents, and decisions happen again and again.
Lean Legal Teams
Built for small teams that need software to replace manual coordination, scattered files, and repetitive admin work.

What we actually deliver
THE
SOLUTION
We build a working system around your intake process, evaluation framework, document workflows, and team operations — so your firm can handle more cases without lowering quality.
Client intake & qualification
Multi-step intake forms with conditional logic for different visa types, lead routing, and pre-screening before consults reach your calendar.
✓ Pre-screening that filters out unqualified consults before they hit your calendar
Evaluation Framework
Your scoring criteria — such as O-1A factors or EB-1A evidence categories — encoded into reviewable AI-assisted evaluations.
✓ Edge-case flagging for cases that need your personal judgment
Document Parsing & Evidence Sorting
Clients upload passports, awards, letters, employment records, and other evidence. The system classifies documents and highlights gaps.
✓ Gap analysis: what evidence is missing for the strongest petition
Paralegal-Ready Workflow
Attorney defines the methodology. Paralegals follow a structured workflow with checkpoints, audit trails, and consistent case logic.
✓ Audit trail of every decision (CYA + training data)
Petition & Letter Drafting
The system generates first drafts for cover letters, support letters, petition narratives, and case summaries using your firm’s structure and language.
✓ Attorney-reviewed drafts that save hours without replacing legal judgment
Case Dashboard & Team Visibility
Every case has a clear status, assigned tasks, missing documents, deadlines, and next steps — so attorneys and paralegals stay aligned.
✓ One shared workspace instead of scattered docs, emails, and spreadsheets
HOW WE WORK
From methodology audit
to launched MVP in 6–10 weeks
Methodology Audit
We map your case types, intake flow, scoring logic, document taxonomy, and where your team loses time or consistency.
Architecture & Scope Lock
We define the technical architecture, modules, weekly demo schedule, and fixed project price before development starts.
Build
Our team builds the system in weekly iterations: intake, auth, database, scoring engine, document parsing, dashboards, and workflows.
Launch & Handoff
We deploy the MVP, train your team, provide post-launch support, and hand over the full source code.
Technical capabilities

Proof of work
Gate-O1 — turning a 12-year immigration methodology into a scalable AI system
For Eisenberg Law Firm, we built an AI-powered intake and evaluation system that encodes Lisa Eisenberg’s O-1A methodology into a structured product.
The Firm
NJ-based immigration practice focused on work-related visas for tech founders, investors, and artists.
The Challenge
Lisa’s methodology lived in Word docs, templates, questionnaires, and her own expertise. Intake took 2–4 hours of attorney time per applicant.
What We Built
Multi-step intake, AI scoring per O-1A criterion, document parsing, evidence classification, attorney review dashboard, and paralegal handoff workflow.
The Outcome
60–80% reduction in manual intake and evaluation time, faster qualification, shorter paralegal ramp-up, and a methodology preserved as firm-owned IP.
Quote placeholder
“They didn't try to teach me their way of doing immigration law. They learned mine, then built it.”
Why It Matters
The firm can scale its O-1A process without turning Lisa’s expertise into generic prompts, scattered documents, or inconsistent paralegal judgment.
WHY ITEAM
Why immigration firms choose iTeam for custom AI MVPs
We Structure Before We Code
Before development starts, we turn your implicit methodology into explicit workflows, scoring logic, and product architecture.
We Build Systems, Not Features
This is not a chatbot or a prompt wrapper. We build intake, document, scoring, review, and team workflows as one system.
We Understand MVP Risk
With 170+ MVPs launched, we know how to avoid scope creep, broken architecture, and expensive rebuilds.
You Own the Product
No SaaS lock-in. You own the code, the data, the workflows, and the IP behind your methodology.
Addressing Your Concerns
The longer your methodology stays manual, the harder it is to scale.
Every month your intake, evaluation, and evidence workflows stay inside Word docs, Excel sheets, emails, and attorney memory, your firm loses time that could be spent on qualified cases. AI-native competitors are moving fast — but your advantage is not generic AI. Your advantage is your methodology. Turning it into software makes it scalable, repeatable, and harder to copy.
