AI for Immigration Practices: Cases, Forms and Clients in 2026

11 of the 125 tools in this directory are listed for immigration practices: the vendor either names immigration on its own site or sells to every practice area. The category built for this work, Immigration & Forms Automation, is the smallest in the directory at three tools, so this guide draws on the rest of the directory for the jobs an immigration practice shares with every other small firm.

This guide walks the immigration practices page in the order a case runs, from the first call to the three immigration-specific tools. Every price is the vendor's own, read on the vendor's own site on October 31, 2026, and each links to the listing with the full price string and the check date.

The first call, in the caller's language

Immigration clients call in many languages, and the receptionists here say which ones they answer. Hona, whose site names immigration practices, answers, starts intake and books in 31 languages for $200/mo plus a $500 one-time setup fee, with 100 minutes a month, and lists Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther and Smokeball among its integrations. Abby Connect puts bilingual English/Spanish intake on every plan and mixes human and AI receptionists, from $164/mo for 50 Abby Minutes. Goodcall supports English, Spanish and other languages and prices by unique callers with unlimited minutes, from $79/mo for 100 callers, with a 14-day trial. Smith.ai has a free plan of 25 calls a month and a Pro plan at $150/mo for 75 calls.
