eimmigration documents an import that retrieves a client's I-94 and travel history from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and adds the records to the client profile. Docketwise's IQ Data Capture takes a different route: it reads an I-94 that the firm or the client uploads and saves a US entry on the contact, and it is a beta limited to selected accounts. One product fetches the government's record and the other reads a document the firm already holds.
