How to choose between immigration AI drafting tools

Selecting between AI systems that draft immigration filings comes down to verifiable capabilities, workflow fit, and security posture.

Side‑by‑side summary (publicly verifiable)

How to run a fair side‑by‑side test (How

To) 1) Pick one recent case (e.g., EB‑2 NIW or L‑1) with consent to use documents for vendor evaluation. 2) Prepare the same evidence set (CV, degrees, letters, I‑94, job offer, company docs) for both tools. 3) In Parley, upload the evidence and generate: primary support letter, expert/reference letters, and a compiled exhibit PDF. Use the Sample Case to preview outputs if needed. 4) Ask Casium for a live demo using the identical evidence set. Request Word‑native outputs, exhibit assembly, research automation steps, and an audit log. 5) Compare drafts on: factual grounding to exhibits, legal analysis quality, editability in Word, consistency across letters, and time‑to‑packet. 6) Compare security and compliance: data residency, encryption, access controls, audit trails, and any SOC/GDPR attestations. Cross‑check with published policies (see Parley Privacy Policy). 7) Validate case coverage (categories you file most), RFE support, and any APIs needed for your practice.
