The whole case file, one system.

Skills are how you stop repeating yourself: write down how your firm wants something done — how you weigh evidence against criteria, how a bundle should look before filing — give it a name, attach reference files, and the assistant follows it on every case. Two ship built in, and a firm can rewrite those or add its own.

The research is also dated. A search engine ranks by relevance, not by recency, so the best-looking answer to “conditions in X” is routinely a well-cited report from years ago — written up in the present tense by a model nobody told to care. Sources inside a three-year window are preferred, and where nothing newer exists the report has to say so, so you can see that the gap is in the record rather than in the research. Law, court decisions, and evidence of past events are exempt: an asylum claim rests on a penal code and on what happened, and neither of those expires.

The forms that can never be e-signed are tracked too. USCIS wants a handwritten mark, so G-28 and every filed form take the print → sign → upload path — and that path is a request like any other, on the case from the moment you send it instead of living in somebody’s email. Wet-ink is chosen per request and never inferred. The document goes out untouched: the pages that come back are the pages that get filed, so nothing of ours is printed on them — no stamp, no certificate. Your client returns a scan through the portal, and that scan is the signed document.

To be exact about what this is: money moves outside Attest — through whatever you already use to take payment. This is the record of the fee and the ledger against it, not a checkout. Client fees are their own permission, so a role without it never sees the tab.
