ImmigrationLens helps you organize and understand your U.S. immigration case — without your personal information ever leaving your phone. TRACK YOUR CASE Log your USCIS cases (I-485, I-130, N-400, and more), record every notice you receive, and see where you are in the standard milestone sequence for your form — from receipt notice to decision and beyond. REAL USCIS REFERENCE DATA Look up published USCIS processing times for your form, walk through typical case milestones, and find your nearest USCIS field office. Reference data comes from published USCIS sources. AI-POWERED CASE ANALYSIS Get a full AI case analysis: where your case stands against published timelines, questions worth asking your attorney, and an assessment of your attorney communication cadence. Analysis uses anonymized inputs only — your name, receipt numbers, exact dates, and notes are stripped before anything is sent. On-device Apple Intelligence is used where available. SCAN AND TRANSLATE NOTICES Photograph a USCIS notice to log it with on-device text recognition, and translate notices into 8 languages — entirely on your phone. BUILT FOR PRIVACY No accounts. No sign-in. No advertising. No tracking. Your case data stays on your device. SIRI AND SHORTCUTS Every action works by voice: "Hey Siri, look up USCIS processing time in ImmigrationLens." IMMIGRATIONLENS PLUS (optional subscription) Unlock full AI case analysis with a monthly plan (up to 35 analyses per month) or a yearly plan (up to 370 analyses per year). Payment is charged to your Apple account; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
