Immigration
Clear, patient intake when timing matters.
Immigration callers may be trying to understand what information to share while facing a deadline or an immigration court date. Some callers may prefer to speak in a language other than English. When the office is closed or the line goes unanswered, important timing can be harder for the team to spot. firstcase answers on the firm's existing number and starts intake with a patient, clear approach.

- A deadline or upcoming immigration court date can make a caller's request urgent. If the call goes to voicemail, the team may not see that timing until someone reviews the message.
- Callers may be anxious or more comfortable speaking another language. A first conversation that feels rushed or unclear can make it harder to gather the details the firm needs.
- Calls can arrive after hours or on weekends, when the office is not staffed to answer. A caller who cannot reach the firm may continue looking for someone who can take the call.
How firstcase handles it
- firstcase answers 24/7 and identifies itself as the firm's intake agent, not a human. It uses language detection and supports multilingual conversations so callers can begin in the language they use.
- The agent is instructed to be patient and clear. It gathers current status, the benefit the caller is seeking, deadlines or immigration court dates, any pending case, and whether family members are involved.
- When a caller mentions an urgent deadline or court date, firstcase can escalate the matter to the firm's team. It can qualify callers against the firm's practice areas and tag each call Retained, Connect, or Pass.
- If the caller is ready to book, firstcase can schedule into Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, or Cal.com while they are still on the line and send an SMS confirmation. Summaries by email or SMS and a morning brief keep the team informed.
