Project Ellis

Formcutter is an AI assistant that turns long, intimidating USCIS immigration forms into a guided conversation. Built for underserved communities where one DOJ-accredited nonprofit serves 13,400+ immigrants in NY's Southern Tier alone, it uses Claude Opus 4.7 to read user-uploaded documents (passports, tax returns, paystubs, IDs), extract sponsor and beneficiary information, and walk applicants through the remaining gaps in plain English across ten languages. Complex cases are routed to a real DOJ-accredited representative for review before filing — the AI handles the deterministic 80% of immigration paperwork; humans handle the 20% that needs judgment. We support the I-864, I-130, N-400, I-485, I-90, I-765, I-131, and I-589.
