This workflow is applicable across multiple practice areas and use cases

Employment-based immigration cases require detailed employment verification letters and support documentation from employers to demonstrate job offers, qualifications, and employment relationships for visa petitions.

Employment attorneys frequently prepare support letters for H-1B, L-1, EB-2, and EB-3 visa applications, making this workflow essential for corporate immigration compliance and employee sponsorship matters.

Family Law78% relevant

Family law practitioners handling international custody disputes, adoption cases, or divorce matters involving non-citizens need immigration support letters to address visa status, hardship factors, and family relationships.

Immigration status frequently intersects with family law matters, particularly in cases involving VAWA petitions, international adoptions, and custody arrangements where a parent's immigration status affects the outcome.

Criminal Defense75% relevant

Criminal defense attorneys representing non-citizen clients need immigration support letters and character references to mitigate immigration consequences of criminal convictions and support relief from removal proceedings.

Criminal convictions trigger immigration consequences, and defense attorneys must prepare comprehensive support documentation for cancellation of removal, waivers, and demonstrating rehabilitation to immigration courts.

Immigration legal aid organizations and nonprofits use support letters extensively for asylum cases, humanitarian petitions, and pro bono representation of vulnerable immigrant populations.

Nonprofit immigration organizations handle high-volume caseloads requiring standardized yet personalized support letters for asylum seekers, refugees, and individuals seeking humanitarian relief.

A

CaseMark can draft all types of immigration support letters including employment verification letters for I-140 and PERM applications, character reference letters for naturalization and removal defense, relationship letters for family-based I-130 petitions, hardship letters for waivers, and asylum support letters. The tool tailors content to the specific immigration benefit and evidentiary requirements based on the documents you upload.

Q

How does CaseMark ensure the support letter meets USCIS requirements?

A

CaseMark analyzes your immigration petition to identify the specific benefit sought and applicable legal standards, then structures the letter to address relevant eligibility criteria. The tool includes proper penalty of perjury declarations, ensures statements are based on personal knowledge, incorporates specific dates and factual details, and follows professional formatting conventions that immigration adjudicators expect. You maintain full editorial control to review and adjust the content before finalization.

Q

Can CaseMark draft letters from different perspectives like employers or family members?

A

Yes, CaseMark adapts the letter's voice and content based on the writer's relationship to the applicant. For employer letters, it focuses on job duties, qualifications, and employment verification. For family or friend letters, it emphasizes relationship details and personal knowledge. You specify the writer's identity and relationship, and the AI generates appropriate content from that perspective while maintaining the formal, first-person narrative format required for immigration support letters.

Q

Does the support letter include a penalty of perjury statement?

A

Yes, every support letter generated by CaseMark includes an appropriate declaration under penalty of perjury, as required for immigration submissions. The tool incorporates the standard language affirming that statements are true and correct to the best of the writer's knowledge, along with proper signature blocks and date fields. This ensures your support letters meet the legal attestation requirements for submission to USCIS, immigration courts, or consular offices.

Q

How specific and detailed are the support letters CaseMark creates?

A

CaseMark prioritizes specificity by extracting concrete dates, locations, job titles, salary information, and relationship details from your uploaded documents. Rather than generating generic statements, the tool incorporates factual details that demonstrate genuine knowledge and add credibility. When case documents provide limited information, CaseMark prompts you for additional details to ensure the letter includes the specific examples and anecdotes that immigration adjudicators value most.
