One Missed Deadline Can Destroy a Life

Your clients trusted you with their future in this country. Every petition has dozens of documents, multiple deadlines, and zero room for error. Close180 makes sure you never let them down.

The Stakes Are Higher Than Any Other Practice Area

A missed filing doesn't just cost money. It costs someone their home.

Missed USCIS Deadlines

A Response to Evidence (RFE) has a 90-day window. One paralegal is tracking it on a Post-it note. Your client's green card petition gets denied because the response arrived on day 91.

Lost in the Document Maze

An H-1B petition needs the I-129, LCA, degree evaluations, employer letters, pay stubs, org chart. Your client emailed half. Texted two. Dropped one off. Which ones are you still missing?

Too Many Hands, No Coordination

The attorney, the paralegal, the client, the employer's HR, sometimes a co-counsel — everyone is involved, nobody knows who's handling what. Work gets duplicated or forgotten.

What Changes When You Use Close180

Every case gets the rigor it deserves. Every person involved knows exactly what to do.

Every Case Gets Its Own Living Checklist

The moment you open a new immigration matter, a pre-built checklist deploys with every filing requirement, every document, every step mapped to the specific visa category. I-130 Family Petition? Different checklist than an EB-2 NIW. Each one is built for the exact process USCIS requires.

Outcome: You stop reinventing the wheel for every case. Paralegals know exactly what to collect. Nothing is forgotten.

Add Anyone to the Case — Instantly

New paralegal joining the firm? Add them to active cases with one click — they immediately see every pending task assigned to them. Employer's HR needs to provide documents? Add them as an assignee on just their tasks. Co-counsel reviewing a section? Loop them in without forwarding 47 emails.

Outcome: Collaboration happens in seconds, not days. Nobody asks "where are we on this?" because they can see it.

Clients Upload Documents Right Into the Case

Send your client their checklist. They see: "Upload passport bio page," "Upload I-94," "Upload marriage certificate." They upload each document directly into the correct task. Need to add an additional document request after the RFE comes in? Drop it into the checklist — the client gets notified instantly.

Outcome: You build a complete petition without ever saying "can you re-send that?" Document collection time drops from weeks to days.

Automated Daily Reminders on Every Deadline

RFE response due in 87 days? Set a daily reminder starting at day 60. Priority Date approaching? Weekly nudges to the paralegal to prepare the adjustment packet. Visa stamp expiring? The system reminds the client every day for two weeks. You customize the cadence — daily, weekly, or escalating urgency as deadlines approach.

Outcome: Zero missed deadlines. Your malpractice risk drops. Your clients' futures are protected.

Pre-Built Immigration Checklists

Deploy on day one. Customize per case. Never start from scratch.
