What changes depends on how your firm is built and what you file.
Assembly automation does something different for a three-attorney corporate practice than for a solo handling marriage cases. Start from whichever description sounds like your week.
By practice structure
How your firm is built.
Business immigration firms
Firms running corporate immigration portfolios face a problem solo practices do not: three paralegals produce three exhibit index conventions, three Bates schemes and three levels of translation diligence.

Contract paralegals & drafting agencies

Merit-based visas
Merit-based petitions are the most document-heavy filings in immigration practice: 300 to 1,000 pages of exhibits, evidence that has to be argued twice under Kazarian, and citations that break the moment an exhibit moves.
