Imagility vs. Docketwise
In today’s fast-changing U.S. immigration landscape, meeting client expectations is extremely difficult without the right case management software. Imagility is a comprehensive end-to-end immigration platform that works alongside your legal expertise to give you a competitive edge. Whether your practice focuses on family-based, humanitarian-based, employment-based, or naturalization cases, Imagility equips you to build, analyze, and submit complete petitions directly to USCIS with unmatched speed and accuracy.
Why Immigration Attorneys Choose Imagility Over Docketwise
Immigration attorneys choose Imagility for its end-to-end platform that streamlines petition preparation, automates tasks, and enhances collaboration. With AI analysis and smart workflows, it helps law firms work faster and stay compliant, offering capabilities unmatched by Docketwise.
Petitions vs. Forms
Imagility is much more than forms-building software. It helps users build complete, USCIS-ready petitions, from I-130 family-based filings to I-589 asylum applications. It goes beyond traditional immigration software since it utilizes artificial intelligence to save time. It automatically fills in required data already uploaded in the software and creates accurate petitions within minutes.
Petition Analysis
Imagility AI-based software guides you through the petition analysis process. After creating the petition, you can evaluate it based on 9 critical factors, including filing requirements, missing documents, and beneficiary status eligibility, and make recommendations to improve petitions. For family-based petitions, it checks for relationship proofs and required affidavits. For asylum cases, it validates identity and supporting statements, ensuring stronger, compliant submissions every time.
Effective RFE Responses
When handling complex cases like asylum or family reunification, RFEs can be a major setback. Imagility’s RFE builder tool allows you to create structured, comprehensive responses directly from your petition data, reducing turnaround time and improving approval outcomes.
Ease of Use
The software's modern-age interface makes it easy for new users to understand the platform. They can easily create tasks, allocate tasks to the team members, retrieve documents within a single click, send questionnaires to beneficiaries, and perform other tasks conveniently.
Transparency and Collaboration
Family-based and asylum cases often involve close client collaboration and multiple evidence submissions. Imagility offers complete transparency through color-coded timelines, shared dashboards, and controlled access for team members and clients, ensuring everyone stays aligned from intake to approval.
Customization
Using Imagility, you have the ability to customize the product so that it seamlessly integrates into your current workflows and other requirements. This results in enhanced operational efficiency and accuracy. You can also create personalized workflows for family and asylum based petitions, produce reports, manage permissions and controls, and establish tailored alerts and notifications.
24/7 Customer Support
The support team is always beside you when you need them. You get 24/7 support and get your query resolved within 30 minutes.
AI-Based Model
By utilizing Imagility, you don't have to worry about changes in USCIS forms and rules, especially around family-based and asylum categories. Our immigration software, driven by AI, automatically incorporates changes in the petition-building process as per USCIS updates.
