Why Choose Us
Generic accounting software falls short for immigration lawyers juggling retainer agreements, USCIS fees, and international payments. We build custom AI systems that ingest invoices directly from your case management tools like Clio or MyCase, extract data with 99% accuracy, and route approvals through secure, audit-trail workflows. No more sifting through email attachments or reconciling spreadsheets. Our solutions integrate seamlessly with QuickBooks or Xero, ensuring every transaction aligns with IOLTA requirements. Scalable for solo practitioners to mid-sized firms, these systems adapt to your unique caseload—whether it's H-1B petitions or family-based green cards.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Billing Cycle
Accelerate Cash Flow Without Sacrificing Accuracy
Accelerate Cash Flow Without Sacrificing Accuracy: Process 500+ Form I-90 and I-140 invoices monthly in under two hours, compared to the industry average of 15 hours for mid-sized immigration firms. Our AI flags discrepancies in USCIS fee adjustments instantly, reducing payment delays by 60% and ensuring faster reimbursements from IOLTA client trust accounts within 48 hours.
Fortify Compliance in a Regulated Landscape
Fortify Compliance in a Regulated Landscape: Like a vigilant paralegal trained on your firm's protocols under ABA Model Rule 1.15, our system enforces IOLTA segregation for immigration retainers and generates audit-ready trails for USCIS filings. Firms using our solutions report zero compliance violations in annual bar reviews over three years, safeguarding your practice against ethics committee scrutiny.
Scale Billing with Your Growing Caseload
Scale Billing with Your Growing Caseload: As your firm expands to handle more EB-2 deportation defenses or naturalization petitions under INA Section 318, our flexible AI adapts without added headcount. Expect a 40% uplift in billable utilization within the first quarter, turning administrative drudgery into revenue-generating focus on high-value visa cases.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays reconciling retainer invoices for EB-5 investor petitions with complex international wires from China and Europe. Now, the system auto-matches everything to our Clio Manage database, and we've cut processing from 10 hours to just 90 minutes. Last quarter alone, that saved us over $5,000 in overtime while avoiding two potential IOLTA discrepancies."
Maria Gonzalez
Billing Manager, Rivera & Associates Immigration Law Firm
"We handle a high volume of Form I-589 asylum applications with fluctuating USCIS fees tied to annual adjustments, and manual tracking was riddled with errors. Their custom AI flags every adjustment per 8 CFR guidelines and ensures IOLTA compliance for trust disbursements. In six months, our error rate dropped to zero, and we're finally closing books on time without late-night scrambles before the 15th."
David Chen
Senior Partner, Apex Legal Group PLLC
"Switching to this tailored invoice system was a game-changer for our small firm specializing in family-based visas. It integrates directly with our QuickBooks trust accounting, catching a duplicate $2,000 payment on a Form I-130 petition that would've triggered an ethics audit. The ROI was immediate with first-month savings—highly recommend for any immigration or family law practice navigating USCIS fees."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your solution ensure compliance with IOLTA rules for immigration firms?
Our custom AI is designed with built-in IOLTA safeguards, automatically segregating client funds in your trust accounts and generating immutable audit logs for every transaction. For immigration practices, it specifically handles retainer escrows and USCIS fee disbursements, flagging any potential violations before they occur. We've integrated checks based on ABA Model Rules and state-specific guidelines, reducing compliance risks that affect 15% of legal firms annually. Unlike generic tools, our system learns from your past invoices to preempt issues, such as mismatched asylum application fees, ensuring you're always audit-ready without manual oversight.
What makes this different from standard accounting software like QuickBooks?
QuickBooks excels at general bookkeeping but lacks the nuanced automation for immigration law's complexities, like tracking variable USCIS fees or retainer renewals. Our tailored AI builds on your existing setup, adding intelligent data extraction from case files and automated workflows that cut manual entry by 80%. For example, it can parse a scanned I-485 form to match costs instantly, something off-the-shelf software requires custom plugins for. This results in faster closes and fewer errors, with firms seeing a 50% drop in AP processing time. We own the integration, so it's robust and yours to keep.
How long does it take to implement the invoice processing system?
Implementation typically spans 6-8 weeks, starting with a two-week discovery phase to map your workflows—such as handling H-1B petition invoices. We then develop and test the AI over four weeks, integrating with your tools like Clio without disrupting operations. The final two weeks cover training and go-live, with our team on-site or virtual to ensure smooth adoption. For a mid-sized firm with 200 monthly invoices, we've achieved full deployment in under six weeks, minimizing downtime. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of optimization to fine-tune for your caseload peaks.
Can this system handle international payments for global clients?
Absolutely, our AI supports multi-currency invoicing and conversions tailored for immigration firms dealing with clients from over 50 countries. It automatically detects currencies from invoices, applies real-time exchange rates compliant with IRS reporting, and routes approvals for wire transfers or ACH. For instance, in EB-5 investment cases, it reconciles USD fees with foreign remittances, reducing errors by 90%. Integrated with your bank APIs, it flags currency fluctuations that could impact retainers, ensuring accurate billing and compliance with OFAC regulations. This flexibility scales as your international caseload grows.
What kind of support do you offer after deployment?
We provide enterprise-grade support starting with a dedicated account manager for the first three months, including weekly check-ins to monitor performance metrics like invoice throughput. Our 24/7 helpdesk handles issues, from AI retraining on new USCIS forms to workflow tweaks for policy changes. Annual audits ensure the system remains optimized, and we offer unlimited minor updates at no extra cost. Clients report 99% uptime, and in one case, we resolved a custom integration glitch within hours during a busy visa season. This ongoing partnership keeps your billing efficient as your practice evolves.
Is the data secure for sensitive client information?
Security is paramount for legal firms; our systems use AES-256 encryption for all data at rest and in transit, with SOC 2 Type II compliance to meet bar association standards. For immigration practices, we implement role-based access controls so only authorized staff view retainer details or USCIS fee records. Regular penetration testing and HIPAA-aligned protocols (where applicable for ancillary services) protect against breaches, which impact 28% of law firms yearly. Your data stays in your owned system—no third-party cloud dependencies—giving you full control and peace of mind during audits.
