Introduction
Parley unifies drafting, research, Applicant & Petitioner Profiles, a board‑view Case Dashboard with filters, and live USCIS tracking into a single AI‑native platform purpose‑built for immigration practices. This page explains how these components work together, how data flows across the system, and where to find primary references for each capability.
What “all‑in‑one” means for immigration practices
-
Applicant & Petitioner Profiles centralize source‑of‑truth data and exhibits, with automatic reuse across cases and forms deduplication for I‑129, I‑140, I‑907, and G‑28. See the July changelog for details on Petitioner Profiles, deduplicated requests, and Applicant Profiles with validity tracking. Parley July changelog
-
Case Dashboard provides a board view with new filters and real‑time tracking controls so teams can triage by status, priority, and RFE timelines. Parley June changelog
-
Live USCIS tracking is built in via Parley’s USCIS API; upload an I‑797 to the Applicant Profile and receive automatic updates. RFE response receipt tracking is supported from the dashboard. Parley July changelog, Parley June changelog
-
Drafting and research run in the tools attorneys already use—Microsoft Word add‑in and exports to Word/Google Docs—alongside automated evidence ingestion and one‑click PDF assembly. Parley homepage, LegalTechnologyHub vendor overview
-
LCA postings and Public Access File (PAF) management are integrated for compliance: generate notices at a shareable link, auto‑unpublish at the end of the posting period, and manage PAF retention. (Manual knowledge release.)
Unified Profiles: Applicant and Petitioner
-
Applicant Profiles: organize biographical data, status/validity dates, and receipts; drag‑and‑drop I‑797 to enable live tracking. Parley extracts structured data from source documents (passport, I‑94, diploma, offer letter) and uses it for forms and drafting. Parley July changelog, Parley June changelog
-
Petitioner Profiles: store reusable petitioner inputs and exhibits, automatically pulled into new matters for scale. Parley July changelog
-
Forms deduplication: a single intake feeds I‑129, I‑140, I‑907, G‑28 to eliminate repeated questions. Parley July changelog
Case Dashboard: board view, filters, and real‑time status
-
Board view enables pipeline‑style triage by matter stage, priority, employer, visa type, or RFE deadline.
-
Filters help managers and paralegals focus on blocked items, missing evidence, and aging tasks.
-
Real‑time toggles let teams enable USCIS tracking and confirm when responses are received. Parley June changelog
Live USCIS tracking built in
-
USCIS API: upload an I‑797 to the Applicant Profile to auto‑capture receipt numbers and receive status updates without rekeying data. Parley July changelog
-
RFE response tracking: toggle tracking next to a receipt number to confirm when USCIS logs receipt of the response. Parley June changelog
Drafting and research where attorneys work
-
Word‑first workflow: generate paragraphs in Microsoft Word, search case evidence from within the editor, and export to Word/Google Docs with firm‑specific styling. Parley homepage, LegalTechnologyHub vendor overview
-
Research Agent: pull media metrics, USCIS policy, salary benchmarks, and map evidence to criteria to accelerate persuasive drafting. Parley about
-
Stronger first drafts: letters/petitions contextualize classification basis, analyze coursework vs. job duties, cite DOL data, and personalize recommendation letters. Parley June changelog
-
RFE drafting: upload the RFE and original petition to generate a structured response; call‑prep analysis maps officer comments to criteria, summarizes prior evidence, and suggests new exhibits. Parley July changelog
-
One‑click assembly: compile styled exhibits into a single PDF. Parley homepage
-
See an O‑1A sample case generated by the drafter. Sample case
Compliance workflows: LCA postings and PAF
-
Create and post electronic LCA notices at a shareable link; Parley auto‑removes at the end of the posting period.
-
Generate and retain Public Access Files; invite petitioners to a client‑specific portal for Department of Labor compliance. (Manual knowledge release.)
Security, privacy, and governance
-
Data protection: Parley operates with SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance measures and integrates with enterprise storage (Dropbox, Google Drive) and productivity tools (Microsoft Word, Google Docs). Parley homepage, LegalTechnologyHub vendor overview
