Many immigration practices are mixed: a family docket of I-130s, K-1s, and adjustments alongside a business docket of H-1Bs, L-1s, and PERM cases. The two sides look very different on paper. Underneath, they create the same operational problem.
Different forms, different clients
Family cases turn on relationships and admissibility: the I-130 relationship evidence, the I-864 Affidavit of Support, the I-485 adjustment, the interview. The client is an individual or a couple.
Business cases turn on the job and the beneficiary's qualifications: the LCA, the I-129, the specialty-occupation support letter, the SOC code, prevailing wage. The client is often an employer, with the beneficiary as the person being sponsored.
Same repetitive work
Despite the differences, both dockets share a core: extract data from documents, populate a set of overlapping forms consistently, assemble a labeled package, and catch inconsistencies before filing. On the family side it is five forms that repeat the same names and dates. On the business side it is the LCA, I-129, and support letter that all have to agree.
That repetitive layer is where firms lose hours and where avoidable RFEs come from, on both sides of the practice.
One platform for both
A mixed practice does not need two systems. ParaLeagle drafts petitions across both dockets: I-130, K-1, I-485, and I-751 on the family side, and H-1B, L-1, O-1, TN, and PERM on the business side. The AI reads the documents, populates the forms, and assembles the packet. Your attorneys review and sign.
Pricing follows the same simple model for both: $80 a month for the platform, then $50 per family petition and $75 per business petition. No per-seat fees, and the tool connects to the case management, storage, and AI tools your firm already uses over the Model Context Protocol.
The result is one workflow for a two-sided practice, so taking on more family cases does not mean hiring more paralegals, and neither does taking on more business cases.
