Where Your Time Actually Goes

Where Your Time Actually Goes

Let's talk about where your time actually goes on an immigration case. Document organization, cover letter drafting, form completion, client communication. These tasks require attention but not necessarily expertise.

Add these up across a typical caseload, and the math becomes compelling. The question isn't whether AI saves time. It's how to implement it effectively.

You still review everything. You still make the calls on case strategy. You still own the client relationship and the final work product. But you stop spending hours on tasks that technology handles faster and more consistently.

 Implementation ROI

Most implementations achieve positive ROI within 2-3 months. Beyond direct time savings, there are secondary benefits: reduced errors from automated data consistency, faster case turnaround, and increased capacity without adding staff.
