Case preparation for immigration law firms

A checked, complete packet, ready for your review.

Arcadia reads your clients' documents, checks names, dates and addresses across every page, and hands your attorney an issues report and an organized packet index. Starting with marriage-based green card cases.

Arcadia informs; attorneys advise. Every finding cites the document and page it came from.

The problem

Your team's best hours go to cross-checking paper.

Chasing documents

Clients send photos, scans and emails over weeks, and someone has to keep track of what's still missing.

Checking by hand

A name spelled two ways, a date that doesn't match, a prior marriage with no divorce decree. Small details, easy to miss across dozens of pages.

Assembling the packet

Matching every document to the checklist and building the index takes time your attorneys could spend on judgment.

How it works

AI reads. Code checks. Your attorney decides.

  1. Your firm

    Share the case documents

    Passports, certificates, records and relationship evidence, as PDFs or phone photos, through your firm's own secure file sharing.

  2. Arcadia

    Read, organize, check

    AI reads each document into structured fields and notes the page each one came from. Plain, tested code then compares them across documents and against your checklist.

  3. Your attorney

    Review and decide

    You receive an issues report, an organized packet index and the extracted data. Every finding cites its source. All legal judgment stays with you.

Every finding cites file and page Neutral wording, never a verdict Translations marked as drafts for a certified translator

What Arcadia checks

The details that slow a case down.

Each check is written as plain, tested code, so the same facts always lead to the same finding.

  • Names across documentsSpelling, middle names and name order. Possible transliteration differences are flagged for review.
  • Dates and places of birthMatched across every document that states them.
  • Marriage detailsDate and place of marriage, consistent from document to document.
  • Prior marriagesEach one has a document ending it, dated before the current marriage.
  • Passport datesExpired or expiring soon, noted for your attention.
  • Shared-life evidenceAddresses on documents that name both spouses, with their dates.
  • Checklist coverageChecklist items with no matching document yet.
  • Document qualityUnreadable files, possible missing pages, and non-English documents without a certified translation.

Our principles

Arcadia informs. Attorneys advise.

No legal advice, ever

Arcadia extracts, organizes and flags. It never says whether someone qualifies or what to file. Those calls belong to licensed attorneys.

Built for law firms

We work for firms, not directly with the public. Your clients stay your clients.

Client documents, handled with care

Documents are used only to prepare your firm's case. They are never sold, never used for advertising, and kept only as long as needed.

Flat fees, never a share

Firms pay flat fees. Arcadia never takes a percentage of attorney fees and never sells placement.

Design partners

Now inviting a small group of immigration firms.

We're working closely with a handful of small firms in Southern California to shape Arcadia around how you actually work. Our aim: a checked, complete packet, ready for your review, in days instead of weeks.

  • For firms of 1 to 10 attorneys

Team

Built in Irvine, California.

Arcadia is named for a place of peace and harmony. We're building a calmer path through U.S. immigration, starting with the firms who guide people through it.

Murphy Wang

Founder & CEO

Murphy studied International Studies at UC Irvine. Before Arcadia he worked across many industries and roles, and opened a coffee shop straight out of school, a lesson in building something from nothing. He believes AI can bring a real leap in productivity to legal work, and founded Arcadia to help immigration attorneys spend more of their time practicing law.

Leon Li

Co-founder & CRO

Leon graduated from UC Santa Barbara and built his career in technology sales and marketing. He leads Arcadia's work with law firms, and believes software built around how small firms really work can change how legal work gets done.
