Immi Alternatives for H-1B and Green Card Self-Tracking
Immi is a YC-backed immigration platform built around tech-worker cases, particularly H-1B and green card processes, and it pitches itself as a faster, more transparent alternative to a traditional law firm. Because Immi and PriorityPath both target the same H-1B and tech-worker audience, this comparison focuses on the very different way each one is structured and priced.
What Immi Does
Immi is an attorney-led immigration service that combines software with actual legal representation, handling H-1B petitions, PERM labor certifications, and I-140/I-485 green card filings for tech workers and their employers. Pricing is per case, typically ranging from around $500 to $2,000 depending on the complexity and type of filing, which positions it well below traditional big-firm legal fees while still including actual attorney review and petition preparation. Immi's software layer gives clients visibility into where their case stands and what documents are needed, and the company markets itself heavily toward startups and tech companies looking for a more modern sponsorship experience for their H-1B employees.
Where Immi Falls Short for H-1B Holders
Immi's model requires paying per case for attorney-led filing work, which is a meaningfully different commitment than a self-service tracking tool — it is not designed for someone who already has legal representation or an in-house immigration team and just wants ongoing visibility into their own timeline. Immi's tracking features are tied to cases it is actively handling, so it does not function as a general-purpose deadline and Visa Bulletin monitor for someone whose case is being filed elsewhere. It also does not offer the kind of standalone AC21 portability calculator or community benchmarking data that a dedicated tracking tool provides.
How PriorityPath Compares
PriorityPath is not a law firm and does not file petitions — it is a self-service tracking layer that works regardless of who is handling your legal filing, whether that is Immi, a traditional firm, or your employer's in-house counsel. It tracks H-1B and I-94 deadlines, monitors the Visa Bulletin with EB-2 India and EB-3 India retrogression alerts, and includes an AC21 calculator for job changers, all without requiring a per-case legal fee. A free tier covers the core deadline and status tracking, making it a low-commitment way to stay on top of your own timeline independent of whoever is doing your legal work.
Using Both Together
Immi and PriorityPath solve genuinely different problems and combine well: Immi (or any attorney) handles the actual petition filing and legal strategy, while PriorityPath gives you an independent, ongoing view of your deadlines and priority date movement that does not depend on checking in with your attorney every time you want an update. If you need someone to actually prepare and file your H-1B or green card petition, Immi's attorney-led model is the right category of tool. If you already have legal representation and want a personal dashboard tracking your own deadlines and Visa Bulletin movement, PriorityPath fills that gap on top of whatever legal service you use.

Immi combines software with actual attorney-led legal representation for H-1B and green card cases, unlike PriorityPath, which is a self-service tracking tool and does not file petitions or provide legal advice.
How much does Immi cost?
Immi typically prices cases between $500 and $2,000 depending on complexity, covering attorney-led petition preparation and filing.
Can I use PriorityPath if my case is handled by Immi?
