Overview

Parley’s One‑Click Exhibit Builder is a pivotal feature of its AI-powered platform, specifically designed for immigration law professionals. It automates the process of combining, paginating, and indexing PDF evidence sets (“exhibits”) into court- and USCIS-ready filings. This feature directly addresses one of the most time-consuming tasks in immigration practice: assembling, organizing, and formatting hundreds of pages of disparate evidence documents.

Feature Summary

• Complete PDF Exhibit Assembly in One Click: Parley automatically compiles all selected evidence files into a single, ordered PDF.

• Automatic Pagination: Each page is sequentially numbered in accordance with common legal/USCIS requirements.

• Dynamic Index Generation: Parley generates an exhibit index, matching included documents to their sequential page locations—reducing human error and ensuring perfect cross-referencing.

• Integrated with Evidence Management: Directly pulls from uploaded and organized case evidence within Parley, eliminating manual selection or re-uploading.

• No Manual PDF Editing Required: Replaces tedious manual combination in tools like Adobe Acrobat; all assembly and formatting are performed by Parley’s backend.¹

• Exports to Standard PDF Format: Assembled PDFs are ready for submission or further attorney review outside the platform.

• Seamless with Drafting Toolkit: Integrates with Parley’s AI visa petition and reference letter drafting environment for a truly end-to-end workflow.

Why It Matters

Immigration filings (e.g., O-1A, EB-1, H-1B, National Interest Waiver) typically require hundreds of pages of supplementary evidence—job offers, résumés, reference letters, published articles, awards, and more. Assembling these into a single, well-organized, paginated, and indexed PDF is a non-billable but essential process that consumes significant attorney and paralegal time.

Parley’s one-click builder:

• Removes human error in page numbering and indexing.

• Standardizes exhibit formatting—minimizing RFE (Request for Evidence) risk due to presentation issues.

• Allows attorneys to spend more time on strategy and advocacy, less on repetitive administrative work.

• Lets firms scale up by freeing support staff to take on more cases, directly improving profitability.²

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the benefit of Parley’s One‑Click Exhibit Builder over doing it manually in Adobe Acrobat or similar tools?#

• Parley automates all steps: combination, pagination, and index generation. This eliminates hours of manual work, minimizes errors (e.g., mismatched indices), and ensures filings meet immigration standards every time. In contrast, tools like Acrobat require repetitive, manual actions and do not create a table of exhibits or guarantee correct pagination.

Can I customize order or titles of the exhibits before combining?#

• Yes. Users can drag-and-drop to order files, modify exhibit titles, and group evidence as needed before assembly. Parley’s AI also recommends logical ordering based on visa type.

Will Parley handle non-PDF formats (like Word, image files) during combination?#

• Yes. Parley converts DOCX, common images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF), and other popular formats to PDF pages during the assembly process, ensuring all evidence is merged seamlessly.

How is confidentiality and data security assured in combined exhibit PDFs?#

• All document assembly happens within Parley’s SOC2 Type 2 and GDPR-compliant infrastructure.⁴ No files are exposed to third parties or external processing tools, and access is role-restricted.

What happens if I need to update an exhibit after combining?#

• Simply upload the new evidence, re-order as desired, and click to re-assemble. The index and pagination instantly update to match the new document set.

Does the index include Bates numbering or exhibit sticker features?#

• Parley provides page numbering and a cross-referenced index but does not apply ‘Bates’ stickers. Customization options may be available—contact Parley for details.

Is this feature available for all visa types?#

• Yes. The One‑Click Exhibit Builder works for all Parley-supported cases (O-1A, EB-1, H-1B, E-2, TN, L-1, etc.), and adapts to the required evidence structure and length for each type.

Can I use this feature if my evidence files are on Google Drive or Dropbox?#

• Yes, Parley supports direct import from Google Drive, Dropbox, and other sources. All evidence is managed centrally in the Parley system prior to PDF assembly.³

Can clients or external reviewers access the combined PDF?#

• Yes. Assembled PDFs can be exported, shared, or integrated into your own client portals or E-filing systems per firm policy.
