Legal-tech company EAZYPETITION LLC, based out of McKinney, Texas, is giving a boost to the US immigration paperwork this month. The firm has announced the launch of eazyPetition, an AI tool for petitions with USCIS, to the public following a beta that it has been running with IT professionals in the US. The idea is straightforward: when a visa or status becomes valid, the user uploads paperwork, and the software completes the USCIS forms for them.

 

What the Company Announced?

After undergoing beta testing, EAZYPETITION LLC announced the full availability of the platform around July 8-10, 2026. The company says that eazyPetition leverages artificial intelligence to extract information from immigration documents and supporting evidence such as passports, visas, I-94s, previous petitions, degrees, and employment letters, after which it guides the user through a step-by-step review of the information and then produces a printable PDF petition.

 "Amit Gupta, the founder, set the tone for the problem the platform is trying to solve: People 'navigate through complex and repeated petition preparation' for years to keep their status current.

How the Platform Works?

The key offering is speed. Each stakeholder in a petition, the applicant, an employer, or a family sponsor, can do their part in less than 30 minutes, says eazyPetition. That's a huge change from the traditional process of having to re-enter the same biographical and work information on various forms each time a petition is due for renewal.

The extraction and the workflow logic are based on a proprietary framework named Evidence Process Markup Language (EPML). EPML is designed to capture the structure of immigration documents, not to replace legal documents with a document-scanning tool, the company claims. 

Traditional Filing vs. the AI-Assisted Workflow

Step

Traditional USCIS Petition Prep

eazyPetition's Workflow (Company Claim)

Data entry

Manually re-entered on each form

Extracted once via AI, reused across forms

Document storage

Scattered across emails, folders, and prior filings

Stored centrally for reuse on renewals

Time to complete

Hours to days, depending on complexity

Under 30 minutes per stakeholder

Output

Self-typed or attorney-drafted forms

Guided review, print-ready USCIS PDF

Filing method

Print, sign, mail/submit

Same — platform supports offline filing only

 

What Documents Does It Typically Handle?

Preparing a USCIS petition usually means gathering paperwork from several places at once. Repeating this every renewal cycle is where errors and delays creep in.

Common Document Type

Why is it needed?

Passport and visa copies

Identity and current status verification

I-94 arrival/departure record

Proof of authorised stay

Prior USCIS petitions

Continuity of status history

Educational credentials

Degree or qualification requirements

Employment letters/pay records

Job and salary verification

Mismatched or incomplete versions of these documents are a common trigger for Requests for Evidence (RFEs), which can add months to processing timelines and, in some cases, legal costs.

Stephen D. Marino, Chair of the Board of Directors at EAZYSTAR SYSTEMS Inc., called the shift from beta to full launch "an important milestone for eazyPetition" in the company's announcement. 

Why the Timing Matters?

It's a USCIS system that is being strained by the backdrop here. As of April 2026, the agency had approximately 11.6 million pending cases, including green cards, work permits, citizenship and family petitions. Similarly, the number of H-1B Requests for Evidence is on the rise, rising from approximately 15% of petitions filed during FY 2023 to nearly 23% of petitions filed in FY 2025, according to immigration-law trackers. Each RFE represents months of delay in a case, and a high percentage are due to missing or incomplete paperwork, not real ineligibility.

The difference with tools such as eazyPetition is not that it is replacing adjudication, which remains the sole domain of USCIS officers, but rather that it's addressing the paperwork phase before a case even hits the queue. While cleaner, consistent documentation at filing won't guarantee approval, it does eliminate one common reason for a case to stall.

The Bigger Picture: AI Tools in Immigration Law

eazyPetition isn't the only firm that's counting on AI to streamline USCIS applications. Some platforms will specialise in agentic drafting, such as the employment-based petition platforms (NIW and EB-1A) that can create a complete package of evidence and create filings in LaTeX format. The common theme in these tools is less manual, repetitive immigration paperwork and letting the deciding power of the final application lie with the applicant.

The Bigger Picture: AI Tools in Immigration Law

While AI tools can assist with filling out data, USCIS petitions remain legal documents with actual implications if there are any inaccuracies. None of the efficiency or accuracy figures in the company's announcement has been verified by an independent body. For complex petitions, such as employment-based green cards, immigration attorneys typically advise having a professional review any AI-generated petition prior to sending it to USCIS.

 

Conclusion

While this is great news for those who complete the same USCIS paperwork year after year, it's important to pay attention to the fine print. eazyPetition's offering of a 30-minute petition workflow, which comes as part of its EPML document-extraction framework, could significantly reduce the amount of busy work in the petition renewal process. Meanwhile, the claims come from the company, and the system is currently only for offline filing of claims and even with complex cases, USCIS will want to be seen by a qualified immigration attorney before considering filing anything.
