Records
Case management, USCIS form automation, client intake, billing, and security for immigration law firms and nonprofit legal aid programs.
eimmigration documents an import that pulls I-94 and travel history records from CBP into the client profile, offered as part of a premium feature. Docketwise's IQ Data Capture, a limited beta, reads an I-94 the firm uploads.
eimmigration, Docketwise, INSZoom, and LegalServer each say they help new customers migrate existing records. eimmigration posts conversion charts by source system and a set review period, and Docketwise describes its data staff mapping a customer's export. Ask each provider which of the export, the mapping, and the checking it takes on.
eimmigration, Docketwise and Mitratech's INSZoom each publish expiration tracking for client documents. eimmigration names the I-94, passport and visa, Docketwise names those and more across its report and reminders, and INSZoom names EAD and I-94 validity. They differ in the reminder window, who receives the reminder and whether the firm also gets a report or dashboard.
eimmigration, Docketwise, and INSZoom each document reports built, saved, and shared inside the product. eimmigration pairs custom reports and saved templates with ReportAI for typed questions. Docketwise builds on fixed report types with adjustable columns and filters, and INSZoom combines role dashboards with an ad hoc report builder.
The costs outside the per-user rate are priced per feature, per gigabyte, per import, per card payment and per custom form, and three contract terms add cost later: renewal pricing, refunds and data export. eImmigration's published amounts show how each one works, including a feature-count table, a storage example and a first-year budget for a six-user firm.
Some immigration case management products include invoicing and a client trust ledger, and the plan decides whether a firm gets them. eImmigration sells Billing & Trust Accounting and card processing as two separate premium features, and Docketwise and LollyLaw document trust ledgers and trust-to-invoice transfers. Billing tracks what the client owes. Trust accounting tracks client money the firm holds, through a client ledger, an account journal and a monthly reconciliation.
eImmigration, Docketwise and ImmiCompliance charge per user per month with no case fee on their published plans: eImmigration $55 to $110 with $0 per case, Docketwise $80 to $140 with unlimited cases, and ImmiCompliance $39 or $59 with unlimited cases. A per-user bill is users times rate times months, so headcount moves it and caseload doesn't. A per-case quote has to define when a case is billed and what the fee covers before it can be compared.
Docketwise, CampLegal, and eimmigration each describe automatic USCIS status updates and Visa Bulletin tracking. LollyLaw documents priority-date tracking, and INSZoom documents a one-click status check. They differ in check frequency, who is notified, and which plan includes the feature.
eimmigration, Docketwise, and CampLegal each document an Outlook connection that puts email on the case record. eimmigration files email sent through a connected account automatically, Docketwise saves messages and attachments through an add-in, and CampLegal attaches a thread to a case.
eimmigration and Docketwise each put a lead pipeline in the same system as immigration case management. eimmigration lists its lead tools as standard features of every plan, and Docketwise's Leads CRM needs a Pro or Advanced subscription. MyCase covers the same stages in general practice software.
ImmiCompliance publishes $39 to $59 per user per month, eImmigration $55 to $110 and Docketwise $80 to $140, with annual terms at the low end. At those three vendors' list rates five users cost $2,340 to $8,400 a year in subscription fees. Data migration, add-on features, storage and payment processing are charged on top, and INSZoom and Clio's upper plans require a quote.
eimmigration documents a RingCentral integration for taking incoming calls inside the product and logging them on client and case records. Clio and Lawmatics, general legal tools some immigration firms use, also document RingCentral call logging. In a trial, call from numbers tied to one record, to two records, and to none, and see where each log entry lands.
Docketwise and INSZoom each document a REST API a firm's developer can build against. eimmigration's professional services team builds custom integrations, and it shares API documentation with firms that build their own. Docketwise and CampLegal also connect through Zapier.
Docketwise, INSZoom, LollyLaw, CampLegal, and eimmigration each connect to Microsoft and Google calendars. Docketwise and INSZoom document two-way sync, LollyLaw syncs one way, and eimmigration syncs its appointment calendar with Office 365 or Google Calendar on every plan.
No. Forms software fills in agency forms from client data. Case management software keeps the matter record: assignments, tasks, deadlines, filed documents and status. Some platforms combine both in one subscription, and eImmigration includes 300+ forms and its core case tools in every plan while selling e-filing and status tracking as premium features. A firm can also pair a forms tool with a general practice system it already runs.
CampLegal advertises a 14-day free trial, and LollyLaw and Docketwise each advertise seven days. eimmigration starts with a guided demo and offers a 14-day free trial on request afterward. Mitratech takes demo requests for INSZoom.
Look for your clients' languages on the list by name, typed answers returned in English, original answers kept beside the translation, and save and resume on a phone. A language count alone tells you none of that. eImmigration and Docketwise publish different amounts of detail on each, and a short set of test entries shows where translation of names, dates and digits goes wrong.
Evaluate USCIS form automation by running one invented case through a live demo and scoring what the software does with it: how intake answers map onto related forms, whether each form is on an edition USCIS accepts on the filing date, how a draft moves when an edition changes, which forms are e-filed and which are only generated, and whether the filed copy can be retrieved. The firm sets a pass standard for each test before the demo.
Docketwise and eimmigration both document a signature request built on an uploaded PDF: Docketwise on its Pro and Advanced plans, eimmigration as the Document Signing premium feature. Mitratech describes a DocuSign integration for INSZoom.
Immigration case management software needs multi-factor sign-in an administrator can require, role permissions for staff and portal clients, encryption, audit logs, point-in-time recovery, immediate offboarding, a full export and a contract deadline for incident notice. The published security pages of eImmigration and Docketwise show what vendors state and which settings to confirm in a demo and in the contract.
