FAQ

Questions immigration buyers ask.

Does it auto-fill USCIS forms?
It extracts the data from your supporting documents (passports, paystubs, prior I-797s, etc.) into structured JSON. Auto-filling the USCIS PDF form itself is your responsibility (or via your case-management system's import). We don't submit forms to USCIS — that's your bar-licensed attorney's job.
How does it handle non-English documents?
If you have an original + a certified English translation on the same page, the mixed-language mode (HW-ML) runs the appropriate engine per script + returns both. If you have original-only, it extracts in the source language; you can chain it with a translation step downstream if needed.
What identity verification systems do you integrate with?
Output JSON is shaped for direct submission to Persona, Onfido, Veriff, Jumio, Stripe Identity. Custom format on request. We don't do the identity verification ourselves — that's a separate trust + KYC layer.
PII / privacy?
Same privacy posture as the rest of the platform. For Healthcare-adjacent immigration work (medical exams, HIV tests), add the Healthcare addon for BAA + PHI redaction. For pure immigration paperwork, the standard data handling applies.
How current are the USCIS form templates?
We monitor uscis.gov for form revisions. Updated templates ship within 30 days of a USCIS form revision. The dashboard surfaces a "template update available" banner when a new version drops; existing extractions continue to work on the old version until you upgrade.
Can a paralegal use this directly?
Yes — the visual field-picker means no coding required. A paralegal uploads a sample I-797, draws boxes around the fields they want extracted, saves the template, then processes hundreds of similar forms in batch. Most immigration teams have a paralegal-led template-builder workflow + a senior associate reviewing edge cases via the Review queue.
