For Immigration
Immigration Practice Management That Keeps Cases Moving
Immigration law is deadline-driven and document-heavy. Every visa petition, adjustment of status, and naturalization application has its own timeline and supporting evidence requirements. Barristr gives immigration attorneys a structured workspace to track each petition as a matter, organize documents in client-matter folders, manage deadlines on a color-coded calendar, and use AI to draft cover letters and personal statements.
One Matter Per Petition
Track each immigration petition as its own matter with a custom reference number (e.g. MAT-2025-001). Every matter has 5 statuses to move through your workflow, detail tabs for Overview, Documents, Time, Invoices, Calendar, and Notes, plus threaded notes for internal case discussions. Pin high-priority petitions to your sidebar for instant access. Create matters with client name, petition type, lead attorney, and office — everything structured from day one.
- Custom matter references (e.g. MAT-2025-001) for every petition
- 5 status stages to track petition progress through your workflow
- Threaded notes for internal team discussion on each petition
- Client management with Individual/Organization profiles and search
Petition Document Organization
Immigration petitions generate mountains of supporting documents — identification, employment letters, financial records, photographs, translations, and prior approvals. Barristr organizes all files in a Client > Matter folder hierarchy so every document is exactly where you expect it. Upload via drag and drop, file browser, or direct scan. Every document maintains version history and metadata. Global search finds any file across all matters instantly, and role-based access ensures only authorized team members see sensitive client information.

Calendar & Deadline Tracking
Immigration deadlines are unforgiving — a missed filing window can mean a denied petition or lapsed status. Barristr's calendar tracks every deadline with 6 color-coded event types: Hearing, Deadline, Meeting, Consultation, Filing, and Other. View your calendar by Day, Week, Month, or Agenda. Use personal and firm-wide calendars to separate your schedule from shared deadlines. Clients can even request consultation appointments directly from your website.

AI Drafting for Immigration Documents
Immigration petitions require carefully crafted cover letters, personal statements, and supporting correspondence. Barristr's AI drafting engine generates first drafts of these documents using your matter data as context. The AI is jurisdiction-aware and includes confidence indicators so you know how reliable each output is. Every AI-generated document is clearly marked as a draft requiring attorney review. Natural language Q&A lets you ask questions about your cases, and document summarization helps you quickly digest lengthy supporting evidence.
