01 — The constraint
Three attorneys handling roughly 90 H-1B filings during cap season plus a steady L-1 and PERM base.
LCA preparation, petition drafting and packet assembly were owned by different people, so form-to-exhibit conflicts were only caught by chance.
Cap season required 140 hours of paralegal overtime in the prior year.
02 — What they changed
Enabled the form consistency checker across every employment-based matter as a mandatory pre-filing gate.
Mapped Clio matter types so only immigration matters are visible to the connector.
Built batch assembly queues per corporate client for cap season cohorts.
03 — What happened
31 form-to-exhibit conflicts flagged in two quarters, including a $9,400 wage discrepancy and four SOC code mismatches.
Cap season paralegal overtime fell 62% year over year.
Average assembly time on a standard H-1B packet fell from 6.5 hours to 1.2 hours.
