What eimmigration does

  • Case management

    Staff build each case from templates for common immigration processes and track every step.

  • Forms

    eimmigration keeps government immigration forms current. Staff enter a client's details once, and the software fills in the related forms.

  • Filing

    A paid add-on submits forms to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and other agencies. The add-on also imports a client's travel history from US Customs and Border Protection.

  • Client portal

    Clients answer questionnaires in any of 13 languages, upload documents, sign forms and pay invoices.

  • E-signatures

    eimmigration's e-signatures are built to meet the ESIGN Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Under both laws, a signature cannot be denied legal effect solely because it is electronic.

  • Deadlines

    eimmigration flags documents such as passports and visas up to 180 days before they expire. Staff get an alert when USCIS updates a case.

  • AI tools

    Built-in AI copies details from passports and other PDFs into case files and translates questionnaires and forms into each client's language.

  • Pricing

    Plans run from $55 to $100 per user a month on annual billing, with no per-case fees. Non-profits and schools get 50% off the standard monthly rate on an annual term.
