About the client
The client is a USA-based LegalTech company building automated immigration solutions for individuals, employers, and attorneys, aiming to streamline visa monitoring, document processing, and deadline tracking at national scale.
The Story
The client relied on slow, manual visa status checks that required over 30 days and lacked automated deadline alerts, creating operational delays and legal risks. They partnered with FiftyFive Technologies to build a fully automated, high-scale system capable of real-time extraction from government portals. Our role was to deliver end-to-end custom software development, cloud engineering, automation pipelines, and a dedicated engineering team. The objective was to replace manual workflows with a reliable, event-driven platform that seamlessly integrated with existing immigration processes.
The challenge
> Manual visa status retrieval requiring repeated navigation of government systems.
> No automated alerts for visa, document, and compliance deadlines.
> Need for high-throughput architecture supporting millions of concurrent users.
> Real-time integration stability across government platforms.
> Lack of scalable workflows for document extraction and structured data processing.
The solution
> Developed a responsive web application using React Native Web for unified UX.
> Built backend services in Golang and Python for high-performance processing.
> Implemented Redis caching and PostgreSQL for structured, scalable data storage.
> Integrated AWS Textract for automated document scanning and data extraction.
> Used Selenium automation for real-time status collection from government portals.
> Designed event-driven microservices to support high system throughput and reliability.
> Implemented subscription-based status monitoring, auto-scan modules, and automated email alerts.
> Deployed a dedicated engineering team covering frontend, backend, cloud, and QA.
The outcome
The platform eliminated manual visa checks, reducing processing time from 30+ days to near real-time automation. Attorneys and users received timely email alerts, improving compliance accuracy and reducing missed deadlines. Workflow efficiency increased significantly, lowering operational overhead and enabling higher user throughput for the client’s LegalTech business. Delivered in seven months, the solution strengthened the client’s product offering, improved customer experience, and supported scalable growth across their immigration services.
