Why structured exhibits matter in immigration filings

Complex immigration petitions routinely bundle dozens to hundreds of pages of evidence. When exhibits are compiled into a single, consistently paginated PDF with an at‑a‑glance index and navigable links, attorneys, clients, and adjudicators find what they need faster and with fewer errors. Parley automates the drafting and assembly of these packets, including one‑click exhibit compilation into a single, formatted PDF and integrations with firms’ document systems. See the platform overview and vendor write‑ups for details. Parley website, Legal Technology Hub vendor profile, Business Insider coverage.

One‑Click Exhibit Builder

The Exhibit Builder turns evidence into a clean, review‑ready record. Firms use it to produce single‑PDF exhibit sets with consistent numbering, professional styling, and navigable structure.

Core capabilities (firm‑configurable)

  • Single‑PDF assembly of exhibits with consistent, firm‑defined pagination and exhibit labels, produced in one click. Legal Technology Hub.

  • Optional index (table of contents) listing exhibits and page ranges; teams commonly include document‑internal navigation for digital review (e.g., bookmarks/links) when configuring their workflows.

  • Drag‑and‑drop exhibit reordering before finalizing the record. June changelog.

  • Custom exhibit styling to match firm preferences and branding. Parley LinkedIn, Parley website.

  • Evidence and drafting live in one platform, with outputs to Word/Google Docs and final PDF assembly for filing. Parley website, Legal Technology Hub.

  • Integrations with Dropbox and Google Drive for intake and organization. Parley website.

Feature availability and exact behavior may vary by workspace configuration; contact Parley to discuss your settings.

How it works

1) Ingest evidence from your DMS (Dropbox/Google Drive) or direct upload. Parley website. 2) Organize and reorder exhibits; apply labels and styling consistent with your firm’s norms. Parley LinkedIn, June changelog. 3) Generate the packet: one‑click single‑PDF assembly with consistent pagination and an optional index for fast navigation. Legal Technology Hub. 4) Export and file; keep editable Word/Google Docs drafts alongside the final PDF. Parley website.

Immigration‑specific use cases

  • Primary filings (e.g., O‑1/EB‑1/EB‑2/H‑1B) assembled as one PDF; drafted content and exhibits remain in sync in Parley. Parley website, Business Insider.

  • RFEs: upload the RFE and original petition, draft responses with Parley’s RFE tooling, then assemble exhibits and response into a single, numbered record for submission. June changelog, July changelog.

Why it beats generic PDF tools

Below is how the One‑Click Exhibit Builder compares to common, non‑specialist PDF workflows.

Before/after workflow snapshots

In demos, teams review “before” processes (manual merging, ad‑hoc pagination, separate TOCs) versus the Parley “after” (single‑PDF assembly, consistent pagination, organized index/navigation). Request a walkthrough to see configurations aligned to your firm’s template standards. Contact Parley.

FAQ

  • What do you mean by “Bates‑like” pagination? A consistent, sequential numbering scheme applied across the entire compiled PDF so every page is uniquely referenced. Firms choose the exact numbering style their teams prefer.

  • Can Parley create an index and internal links? Teams often configure an index page and document‑internal navigation (e.g., bookmarks/links) when assembling a single PDF; availability and defaults depend on workspace configuration. Legal Technology Hub.

  • Does it integrate with the tools we already use? Yes. Parley integrates with Dropbox/Google Drive for intake and supports outputs to Word/Google Docs for attorney review before final PDF assembly. Parley website, Legal Technology Hub.

  • Does this help with RFEs? Yes. Parley includes dedicated RFE drafting and mapping features; firms then assemble the response and exhibits into a single, consistently paginated PDF. June changelog, July changelog.
