For immigration law firms
Every answer on the form has a source.
Metoikia fills the official USCIS and immigration court forms from one questionnaire per case. A rules engine picks the forms. AI reads the client's story and documents. Nothing prints until your staff confirm it, and only the attorney signs off.
Seven steps, and the app always shows the next one.
Every case sits on the same step bar. The paralegal does most of the work. Steps that need a lawyer's judgment wait for the attorney, and the app says so.
- 1
Intake
Type the client's story. Triage questions ask only what the rules still need.
Paralegal - 2
Approve packet
The rules propose the case type and forms, with risk flags.
Attorney - 3
Form questions
One questionnaire fills every form in the packet.
Paralegal - 4
Documents
A checklist built from the packet. Files are scanned and encrypted.
Paralegal - 5
Review and sign off
Fix the blockers, confirm AI values, then the attorney signs.
Attorney - 6
File
Record how and when each form was sent.
Paralegal - 7
After filing
Receipts, biometrics, interview, and the dates that follow.
Paralegal
Less retyping. More checking that the answer is right.
The client's story becomes facts, and the rules choose the packet.
Staff type the story in the client's own words. The AI proposes facts and shows the sentence it read each one from. The rules engine, not the AI, proposes the case type and forms. The attorney approves the packet.
- Risk flags for the attorney, such as the asylum one-year deadline
- Legal decisions are written rules: an arrest by the persecutor counts as past harm, not criminal history
- Each form in the packet comes with a plain reason the attorney can read
Nothing the AI reads prints until a person confirms it.
A passport number read from a scan waits in a yellow box with its source and confidence. Until every blocker is fixed, each PDF prints as a draft marked "not for filing" on every page. Only the attorney can sign off.
- One answer fills every line on every form that asks for it
- Open a form beside its answers to check it line by line
- The interpreter's part and statement print on every form
Legal dates the firm cannot move stay in front of everyone.
Each case shows where it stands, what blocks it and what comes next. The dashboard counts the asylum one-year deadline and the dates staff enter from a request for evidence, a notice of intent to deny, a hearing notice or a court filing deadline.
- Blockers link to the exact place that fixes them
- Later filings, such as the asylum work permit, get their own eligibility date
- A full activity log on every case
A checklist that comes from the forms, not from memory.
The packet decides which documents the case needs. Staff upload them or mark them received on paper. The AI can read a passport or other identity page into the questionnaire, and those values wait for confirmation too.
- Every file is encrypted and virus-scanned before anyone opens it
- Accept, reject, or mark a file replaced with a reason
- An optional client portal for uploads, messages and status
The work a general immigration practice sees every week.
Each case type has its own rules, stages, triage questions and document checklist.

The official PDFs, with each form's current edition. The G-28 and G-1145 print the attorney's part from the firm's profile.
Built for the attorney who signs the form.
The attorney decides
Only the attorney approves the packet and signs off. Legal judgments are written rules the attorney can read, not choices the AI makes.
A source for every value
Each answer keeps where it came from: the client's sentence, a document scan, or the staff member who typed it.
Client consent for AI
No AI step runs on a case until the client's consent is recorded. A client who says no gets the same service, done by hand.
No data kept by the AI provider
AI requests run with zero data retention at the provider.
Encrypted and scanned files
Uploads are encrypted at rest and virus-scanned before any person can open them.
Drafts look like drafts
Until the attorney signs off, every page prints "not for filing", so a draft cannot go out by mistake.
