Immigration Lawyers Say Goodbye to Hours of Work with the Launch of DraftyAI RFE Studio

Coral Gables, Florida Feb 4, 2026 (EMWNews.com) – DraftyAI just announced the launch of RFE Response Studio, a new artificial intelligence tool that helps immigration lawyers put together complete responses to Requests for Evidence from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in minutes. The release comes as USCIS is facing an unprecedented backlog of more than 11.3 million pending immigration cases in 2025, creating longer wait times and work overload for legal professionals and their clients.

Immigration lawyers increasingly find themselves buried in repetitive administrative work while trying to keep up with client expectations and procedural complexity. A Request for Evidence is a notice from USCIS asking for more documentation before a petition or application can move forward. 

Legal professionals report that this process can add weeks or months to client timelines and significantly increase workload, often without additional compensation. Some firms choose to outsource the work for thousands of dollars, while others absorb the costs internally, creating financial strain. In a system already slowed by backlog and delays, every additional step counts.

“RFEs are one of the biggest bottlenecks in immigration practice and they take lawyers away from strategy and client advocacy,” said Nadine Navarro Co-Founder and CEO of DraftyAI. “Many firms undercharge or do not charge at all for RFE work because it is a moment of client trust erosion. With our RFE Response Studio, lawyers finally get the help they need without outsourcing and without passing the cost on to their clients.”

RFE Response Studio is part of the standard DraftyAI subscription available now starting at $250/month. The tool uses advanced AI to automate the organizational, research, and drafting work required to assemble a response.

DraftyAI’s launch of this new feature comes at a time when immigration policy, procedural changes and long processing times are dominating headlines and affecting millions of applicants and their families. By giving lawyers a practical tool to help with one of the most time-consuming and frustrating parts of immigration journey, DraftyAI is supporting legal professionals navigating a system under strain.
