Every filing, every date, every document — in one cited record.
Immigration cases span years of correspondence, government forms, country condition reports, and supporting evidence across agencies. CaseTime reads the entire file and builds a cited chronology that proves continuous presence, establishes persecution, or maps the visa petition — with every answer traceable to a document and page.
Immigration cases are built on dates. Miss one and the case falls apart.
A gap in continuous presence. A filing deadline calculated from the wrong anchor date. An affidavit that contradicts a previous declaration by a year. Immigration cases live and die by dates and consistency — across forms, correspondence, and country condition evidence spanning years.
CaseTime reads the full record and surfaces the timeline, the consistency, and the gaps.
The timeline isn’t part of the case. The timeline is the case.
Years of an immigration case, readable in a minute
A sample of what CaseTime builds from an asylum record. Every entry is labeled and cites the document and page it came from.
Applicant entered the United States on B-2 visa, admitted until Jul 15, 2021. EX 01, p. 2
Asylum application (I-589) filed Jun 28, 2021 — within one-year filing deadline. I-589, p. 1
Notice to Appear issued; individual hearing scheduled for Mar 2023. NTA 01, p. 1
Country condition report from State Dept documents escalation of political persecution in home region beginning Sep 2022. EX 08, p. 14
Respondent’s brief asserts applicant failed to establish nexus to protected ground. RESP BR, p. 6
Applicant’s 2024 supplemental declaration states persecution began “in 2020” — original I-589 states “early 2021”; dates should be reconciled before merits hearing. SUPP DEC, p. 3 I-589, p. 5
One record, every kind of immigration matter
Whatever shape the case takes, the work is the same: get the record in order, keep it cited, and know what the dates show.
Asylum cases
Asylum cases turn on a coherent narrative of persecution, supported by country condition evidence and anchored by precise dates. CaseTime reads the I-589, declarations, State Department reports, news articles, and supporting affidavits, then builds a cited chronology that maps the persecution timeline against the evidentiary record — with date inconsistencies and one-year filing deadline compliance tracked automatically.
Visa petitions
Family-based and employment-based petitions generate years of forms, supporting documents, and correspondence with USCIS. CaseTime indexes every filing — I-130, I-140, labor certifications, priority date evidence — and tracks the petition through its stages, so the full procedural history is visible in one chronological record with every status change cited.
Removal/deportation defense
Removal proceedings involve a dense record of filings, hearing transcripts, applications for relief, and evidence submissions across immigration court and the BIA. CaseTime reads the full record, tracks deadlines and continuances, and flags where testimony in a hearing contradicts a prior filing — so defense preparation starts with the record already organized.
Adjustment of status
Adjustment applications depend on eligibility dates, continuous presence, and admissibility documentation spread across years of filings. CaseTime assembles the I-485, supporting evidence, medical exams, and prior immigration history into one chronology — and surfaces gaps in the documented record before USCIS does.
VAWA/U-visa cases
VAWA self-petitions and U-visa applications require sensitive evidence of abuse or crime, often assembled over months from police reports, medical records, declarations, and supporting letters. CaseTime keeps the record private, dated, and cited — so the evidentiary narrative is organized and every supporting document is traceable.
Naturalization
N-400 applications require documented continuous residence, physical presence, and good moral character across years. CaseTime reads tax returns, travel records, lease agreements, employment letters, and prior immigration filings, then maps the documented presence timeline — highlighting periods where the record is thin and additional evidence may be needed.
Consular processing
Cases processed through a U.S. consulate abroad generate correspondence, DS-260 submissions, interview notices, and supporting documents across multiple government systems. CaseTime tracks the full filing history, indexes every form and notice, and surfaces what has been submitted versus what is still outstanding — cited to the specific document.
Appeals & motions to reopen
Appeals to the BIA or motions to reopen require demonstrating what the original record shows and what has changed. CaseTime provides the cited chronology of the underlying case and maps new evidence against the existing record, so the basis for the appeal or motion is grounded in documented facts rather than reconstructed from memory.
Built for the people working immigration cases and the people living them
Command years of filings before the hearing
Open the matter with the full chronology built, every form indexed, and date inconsistencies flagged. Walk into the individual hearing or the USCIS interview with cited command of a record that spans years. See CaseTime for attorneys.
Handle complex asylum cases with the record already organized
Pro bono attorneys and legal aid organizations often take asylum and removal cases with limited time for preparation. CaseTime reads the full file and delivers the cited chronology, so case preparation starts from the record rather than from scratch. See CaseTime for firms.
Understand your own case and prepare for interviews
Immigration cases are your life in documents — years of forms, letters, and evidence. CaseTime organizes them into a record you can read and understand, so you arrive at interviews and hearings knowing what your file shows. See CaseTime for clients.
Cited chronology for cases that span years. And where every date matters.
In an immigration case, a date discrepancy between a declaration and a form can undermine credibility. A gap in documented presence can defeat an application. CaseTime treats every date as load-bearing: it extracts them from every document, checks them against each other, and flags inconsistencies with citations to both sources. It never drafts filings, and it is not legal advice — it is the record, made consistent and legible.
Immigration questions, answered
How does CaseTime help with asylum cases?
CaseTime reads the entire asylum record — the I-589, supporting declarations, country condition reports, correspondence with USCIS or the court — and builds a cited chronology of persecution events, filing dates, and evidentiary milestones. It flags where dates in a supplemental declaration differ from the original application, tracks the one-year filing deadline, and maps country condition evidence to the claimed period of persecution. Every entry cites its source document and page.
Can CaseTime track continuous presence?
Yes. CaseTime extracts dates from every document in the record — entry stamps, filings, employment records, tax returns, lease agreements, utility bills, school records — and assembles them into a chronology that shows documented presence over time. Gaps in the record are surfaced, so they can be addressed with additional evidence before a hearing or interview.
Does CaseTime handle government forms like I-589, I-130, and I-485?
Yes. CaseTime reads and indexes USCIS and EOIR forms — I-589, I-130, I-485, I-765, I-864, and others — alongside supporting documents, correspondence, receipts, and notices. It extracts dates, names, and key facts from each form and places them on the case chronology, so the full filing history is visible in one record.
Is immigrant client data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Client records are never shared with other users, never used for AI model training, and never accessible outside the matter. CaseTime is built for sensitive legal records, and immigration case data receives the same protections as any other matter.
What does CaseTime cost for an immigration matter?
$250 per matter, one flat fee — not a subscription. A free 30-day trial is included, along with 25GB of storage. Additional storage is $50 per 25GB. Firms and legal aid organizations handling many immigration matters can book a demo for volume pricing.
