Practice system
Immigration, run as a system.
Visa petitions, adjustment of status, removal defense, citizenship: government-form and queue-driven.
USCIS/EOIR form lifecycles and published processing queues. Most deadlines are the government's, not ours: the job is tracking their clock and pouncing on the few short windows that are ours.

Questions
Before you book the call.
- Do you build a matter management system specifically for immigration practices?
- Yes. It runs on the same MATTER Method as everything else I build, configured for how immigration actually moves: USCIS/EOIR form lifecycles and published processing queues. Most deadlines are the government's, not ours: the job is tracking their clock and pouncing on the few short windows that are ours.
- What does the system actually track for a immigration matter?
- Every stage from strategy & eligibility to decision, the facts that matter most for this practice (form type, priority date, status expires), the document set the matter actually produces, and one computed read: queue tracker, days pending vs. published USCIS processing time, with monthly visa-bulletin movement tracked against the priority date.
- Can I get this through MatterOS, or does it need a custom build?
- Both. It ships as a configured practice pack inside MatterOS for solo and small-firm workflows, or as a private, purpose-built system when a firm needs more control over data, integrations or workflow. Either way, we start with a short call to see which fits.
- Do you also handle litigation technology and expert witness work for these matters?
- Separately, yes, under the same practice. If a matter needs digital evidence structured or presented in a US courtroom rather than just tracked, that is the second half of what I do. See the Services page for how that engagement runs.
Bring me the immigration matter. I've probably built this before.
