AI is improving how immigration cases are produced—drafting, summaries, document organization.
But credibility determinations depend on how the record is interpreted in context, not just how it’s written.
That gap is where risk—and judgment—sits.

AI is reshaping legal workflows—but adjudication still depends on how records are interpreted.

Effective May 18, 2026, USCIS will limit remote attorney participation in interviews, including asylum and NACARA cases (with limited exceptions).
The right to representation remains—but how it functions in practice is changing.
More weight will shift to how the record is prepared before the interview.
AI-assisted tools generate logs—prompts, outputs, and usage history.
In legal practice, that raises a question:
When might those be treated as part of the record?

Where is data stored? Who can access it? Are logs retained?
That’s where risk often sits.
