Texas-based legal technology company EAZYPETITION LLC has launched eazyPetition, an AI-powered platform designed to help prepare US immigration petitions. According to the company, users can upload documents such as passports, resumes and supporting evidence, after which the platform extracts relevant information, populates immigration forms and generates draft petitions in less than 30 minutes. The product has been launched commercially after a beta testing phase, with the technology promising to reduce preparation time to under thirty minutes through automation of document processing and information extraction for USCIS petitions.
Despite the AI automation, immigration petitions must still comply with requirements laid down by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Many visa categories require legal judgment, supporting evidence and strategic documentation that AI alone cannot provide. Most AI immigration platforms position themselves as productivity tools for lawyers and immigration firms rather than replacements for attorneys, with the platform designed to speed up document preparation rather than replace legal advice.
The immigration AI space has become increasingly competitive with several notable players. Parley helps immigration lawyers draft visa applications and organise supporting documents using AI, while Gale, a Y Combinator-backed startup, focuses on employment visas such as H-1B using AI to automate visa preparation. Casium, founded by a former Microsoft AI scientist, uses AI agents to recommend visa categories and prepare draft filings for employment-based immigration.
AI tools are increasingly being used for employment-based immigration, including H-1B visas, O-1 visas, EB-1 extraordinary ability petitions, investor visas and responses to Requests for Evidence (RFEs). According to academic research, machine-learning systems can accurately classify immigration documents and assist in preparing responses to Requests for Evidence, substantially reducing manual effort while keeping humans in the review loop.
India remains one of the largest sources of skilled workers and international students heading to the US, particularly under employment-based visa programmes. For Indian applicants, AI-powered platforms could mean faster preparation of visa paperwork, reduced administrative errors, quicker communication with immigration lawyers and lower document-processing time. However, they do not guarantee visa approval or shorten USCIS processing timelines, with government adjudication, background checks and interview requirements remaining unchanged.
