Immigration Case Filing Intake and Processing

High riskExact public inventory row

Description

Currently all immigration case filings are manually reviewed for the requisite physical quality (legibility, meets formatting requirements, etc.) before the filing is officially accepted or rejected by EOIR personnel, which prolongs the initial intake and processing of case filings. A large portion of initial intake and processing of case filings could be automated with AI tools only requiring manual review for outputs below a defined threshold.

Detailed example

Automated review of case filings, automated acceptance or rejection of case filings, and recommendations to EOIR personnel to manually review case filings for quality as needed.

AI / analytics pattern

Natural Language Processing: AI that processes, interprets, and shares information in human language.

More efficient review of case filings at intake. Ability to reallocate EOIR administrative personnel to assist with other tasks in the immigration adjudication process.
