EB5AN is pleased to introduce a new technology partnership with Lawfully, a leading immigration case-tracking platform known for its data analytics, secure automation, and real-time monitoring of USCIS filings. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in enhancing transparency and convenience for EB-5 investors.
Through this integration, investors will receive automatic, secure email notifications whenever their immigration case progresses, removing the need to manually log into the USCIS case tracker and helping ensure that no update is ever missed. At the same time, investors who wish to dive deeper can access Lawfully’s analytics features—such as estimated adjudication windows, historical processing trends, and case-movement charts—to better anticipate key milestones and plan around potential delays.

A Stronger Support System for EB-5 Investors
A Modernized Approach to USCIS Case Monitoring
USCIS processing times for EB-5 petitions such as Form I-526E, Form I-829, and Form I-485 can be unpredictable, depending on project category and each investor’s specific circumstances. While waiting for their petitions to be adjudicated, investors typically rely on the USCIS online portal to check for incremental changes in status, an approach that is both time-consuming and easy to overlook.
Lawfully solves this problem through a system designed to monitor cases continuously. By using each investor’s unique USCIS receipt number, Lawfully’s software securely queries the official USCIS case status system and detects updates as soon as they appear. Once a change is identified, the platform automatically sends a secure email notification with the latest available information.
As part of this partnership, EB5AN will upload investor receipt numbers into Lawfully’s platform as soon as they are issued, ensuring that investors are enrolled in the automated update system from the earliest stage of their immigration process.
This automated monitoring creates a far more streamlined and reliable experience for investors, especially those managing multiple filings or balancing immigration processes with international business and travel obligations.
How Investors Benefit
One of the most significant advantages of this partnership is the ability for investors to stay informed without any manual effort. Rather than repeatedly checking USCIS’s website, or relying solely on periodic updates from attorneys or regional centers, investors will now receive updates directly, in real time.
This integration provides three core benefits:
- Timely, Verified Information: Lawfully pulls case data directly from the official USCIS portal, ensuring that every notification reflects the most accurate and current status available.
- Enhanced Convenience: Investors no longer need to log into the USCIS website, remember case numbers, or check periodically for updates. Everything arrives securely in their inbox.
- Added Reassurance Throughout the Process: For many investors, the bureaucracy component of the EB-5 process is the most stressful. Automated updates help reduce uncertainty and improve transparency, especially during long periods of administrative inactivity.
A Comprehensive Immigration Tracking Platform
While the automated USCIS status alerts are central to this partnership, Lawfully offers a much broader suite of tools that many investors may find useful as they progress through the EB-5 immigration timeline.
Centralized Dashboard for All Immigration Filings
Lawfully’s platform consolidates immigration case data into a single, organized dashboard. Investors can view their filings, monitor progress, and review milestones without having to navigate multiple government portals or maintain manual records.
This centralized view provides a clearer understanding of where each petition stands, helping investors stay informed throughout the process.
Compliance Reminders and Time-Sensitive Alerts
For those who use Lawfully Pro, the platform provides additional automated notifications related to deadlines, required documentation, and regulatory milestones. These alerts can help investors avoid common issues such as missed filings, expired documents, or delays caused by incomplete submissions.
By maintaining consistent visibility into key dates, the platform reduces the risk of avoidable disruptions.
Analytics and Processing Time Insights
Lawfully’s data tools are particularly useful for investors who want a wider view of national immigration trends. By drawing on real-time information from USCIS and the National Visa Center, the platform provides estimates of typical processing times and projections of future outcomes.
These analytics offer valuable context, helping investors set realistic expectations and make more informed decisions regarding travel, investment planning, and personal timelines.
Data-Driven Reporting and Documentation Management
Lawfully Pro also supports more advanced reporting capabilities. Investors can see aggregated progress statistics—for example, how many similar cases reached a particular stage within a given period—and access documentation in a single, secure location.
A Stronger Support System for EB-5 Investors
The partnership between EB5AN and Lawfully enhances investor communication by adding an additional layer of technology-driven oversight. While EB5AN will continue to provide strategic guidance and regular communication, Lawfully serves as an independent, automated system focused entirely on the immigration side of the EB-5 process.
As USCIS continues to modernize its systems and as EB-5 program demand grows, the need for automated, accurate, and investor-friendly tools becomes increasingly important. EB5AN’s integration with Lawfully reflects a commitment to improving the investor experience and leveraging technology to simplify the immigration journey.
Investors can expect to begin receiving automated notifications shortly after they opt in and their USCIS receipt numbers are added to the system. EB5AN will continue to share updates as additional features become available.
