I-485 packets, prepared without the document chase

• Cases belong to the firm workspace, and access follows membership. Bring a paralegal onto one matter without handing them the caseload, and keep client cases separated from each other by default.
• A document sits as attached until a reviewer confirms it is correct. The person who reviews is on your side of the file, which means the readiness score reflects your judgement rather than a client's optimism.
• Every change on a matter is recorded: who uploaded what, who reviewed it, who sent the packet. A file that lands in front of a supervising attorney comes with the story of how it got there.
• A packet is regenerated after a correction without a second charge and without losing the exhibit numbering the earlier version used. The submission the firm files is the version the firm approved, not the version the tool made easiest.

What a receiving office asks for varies by office and by case, and the office publishes the current instructions for the submission. Prepared Docs helps you organize and check the documents that filing rests on.

What document types does Prepared Docs support for I-485 packets?

The five groups the receiving office tends to ask for: identity documents, the evidence supporting the basis of the case, financial evidence for the applicant or a sponsor, the medical examination and any records the form asks the applicant to disclose, and the blank forms at the edition currently in use. Prepared Docs raises each as a requirement, tracks what has arrived against it, and moves it off the outstanding list once a reviewer confirms it.

How does the client document request flow work?

You name what you need in your own words, the client opens a signed link on a phone or a laptop, and each request is presented with the item it is against. The client uploads a photograph or a scan, and it lands on the matter as a document waiting for review. The client never sees anyone else's case and does not need a Prepared Docs account to answer.

Can we track readiness across multiple matters at once?

Yes. The caseload view scores every open matter by what has been confirmed, sorted by what is holding each one up. Filter by attorney, paralegal or the party a matter is against, and the list responds. The score counts what a reviewer has looked at rather than what a client uploaded, so a matter reads as ready only when it is.

Is Prepared Docs legal advice?

No. Prepared Docs is a document workspace for the firm handling a case. It helps a preparer collect, name, review and package the documents a filing rests on, and it records who did what and when. It does not advise on eligibility, strategy or the substance of a filing, and it is not a substitute for the licensed attorney whose case it is.

What does it cost for a firm?

Starting is free. You can create a workspace, invite a colleague, open a client matter and walk the full flow without a card. Firm plans are priced per person and are visible on the pricing page, which reads its numbers from the same source the checkout does, so nothing on a marketing page has to be kept in sync by hand.
