Nonprofits & university programs
Nonprofits and university immigration programs that provide legal services at no cost to clients use the Visalaw AI Core plan at no cost. Organizations working on a sliding scale or reduced fee get reduced pricing, set against your fee model.
● Eight questions, about two minutes. You do not need a sales call to find out whether you qualify.
In practice
Organizations shown with their permission.
Expand access
Nonprofit legal services organizations and university clinics handle asylum claims, humanitarian relief, detained representation, and naturalization for people who cannot pay for counsel. The work is deadline-driven and high in volume, and it is done by small teams already at capacity.
Research and drafting are where that capacity goes. A brief a well-resourced firm turns around in an afternoon can cost a two-attorney nonprofit a day it does not have. That is the part software can take back.
So the terms are plain. If your clients are not charged, the Core plan is free. Drafting is billed per use, only when you run it. It is not a trial and not a pilot with an end date.
Visalaw AI's four company values
Eligibility
Two tracks, one form. What you pay depends on what your clients pay.
Registered nonprofits whose immigration work reaches clients at no charge.
Clinics and university programs providing immigration legal services under supervision.
Organizations that charge below market on a sliding scale get reduced pricing rather than free access. The rate is set against your fee model when we review your application. Same form, same place to start.
Students apply through their program, not on their own. If your school runs an immigration clinic, ask the clinic to apply. Student accounts are created underneath it, with the supervising attorney as account owner. If your school has no clinic yet, a faculty member can apply and note that in the form.
What you get
Both columns matter. A program that finds out about a condition after onboarding is a program that stops trusting us.
Teaching programs
A clinic director's first question about AI is rarely what it can do. It is what a second-year student will do with it at eleven at night, three days before a filing.
Research output points to the authority it came from. The habit a clinic wants to build is opening the citation before using the sentence, and the product is built to make that the path of least resistance.
A supervising attorney holds it. Student access is granted and removed by the clinic as cohorts change, and the clinic decides who works on what.
Output is a draft for review. Nothing files itself and nothing advises a client. Professional judgment stays with the supervising attorney, which is also where the bar rules put it.
How to apply
We review applications within five business days.
Step 1
Eight questions about your organization and how your clients pay. About two minutes.
Step 2
We check your application against your website and registration. If we need anything more, such as a determination letter or a program page, our customer success team asks for it.
Step 3
We size the account, agree seats, and set a start date. This is the only required call.
Step 4
Your account is set up with the seats you asked for. Training is available on request. As cohorts turn over, tell us who is joining and leaving.
Apply
Short on purpose. We ask what we need to tell you whether you qualify, and we sort the rest out on the call.
Application received
We will reply to . If your situation is not a clean fit for either track, we will say so plainly, and why.
Questions
Usually yes. Recovering hard costs is not the same as charging for legal services. Tell us what the fee covers in the form and we will confirm it on the call.
That is fine. What matters is that the immigration legal services you provide are free to clients, not that immigration is your only program.
Yes. Access is tied to the student's account, not to a location or a schedule. The clinic decides who has an account, and access is removed when a cohort ends.
Drafting is billed per use rather than included in Core. Research, chat, and everything else in Core cost nothing, and you pay only for the drafts you run.
The same handling our paying firms get. Nothing about the free track changes how data is stored, isolated, or used. The detail is on our security page.
No. Your case management system stays your system of record. Visalaw AI connects to it — see integrations.
Tell us, and we move you to the reduced-rate track at a price set against your fee model. We re-verify eligibility, including your fee model, once a year in any case.
