About Lawfully
Lawfully is a case tracker for U.S. immigration cases, available as an iPhone and Android app, with some data tools such as a USCIS case status explorer on its website. You add your receipt or case numbers and Lawfully follows them across USCIS, the National Visa Center (NVC), the Department of Labor and the immigration courts (EOIR), sending a push notification when a status changes. It saves each case's update history as a timeline you can share, and alongside the official status message it explains what the message means and what to expect next. A visa bulletin section shows the history of final action dates and dates for filing for your category. A premium tier adds what Lawfully calls case ranking: an estimate of where your case sits in the queue, compiled from cases other Lawfully users have registered. The company also runs a Find a Lawyer service and a separate product for law firms. It suits applicants with several cases, or a long green card process, who want alerts instead of daily checking. The trade-offs: the most distinctive analysis sits behind the premium tier, the website doesn't publish premium prices, rankings are built from its own users' data rather than official figures, and the full experience is the mobile app rather than the web.
Best for: Applicants with several USCIS or NVC cases who want push alerts and plain-English explanations.
