Immigration websites for Clio that stop handoff leaks

What's broken on most immigration websites
We keep seeing immigration websites send complex case inquiries into intake with no visa or petition category, no timing signal, and no clue which documents or family context matter, so the callback starts with cleanup instead of clarity. That turns into a handoff problem because the team still has to rebuild what the prospect needs before it can guide the next step.
Cost of delay
A weak immigration handoff can cost the first consultation, the qualified matter, or the follow-up sequence that should have started quickly.
Industry context lives at /for/immigration.
What the connected website changes
What a Clio-connected website does instead
The site captures the case and timing detail Clio needs before the handoff starts. On the native path, Clio receives the request immediately. On the custom path, the website uses the documented Clio integration pattern to preserve cleaner intake context for the team that has to follow up.
Native path
The firm copies the iframe or script tag generated in Clio Grow and pastes it onto the consultation page. Submissions go straight to the Clio Grow Lead Inbox.
API or managed intake
A custom web form captures case category, timeline, and callback details. A server-side script securely connects to the Clio API using an OAuth token and POSTs the data to create the lead, contact, or matter record.
Connection patterns
How the connection works
Native Clio handoff
The firm copies the iframe or script tag generated in Clio Grow and pastes it onto the consultation page. Submissions go straight to the Clio Grow Lead Inbox. This works when the priority is fast consultation capture without much pre-routing on the website.
When to use
When the immigration firm wants a fast, code-light way to collect consultations directly into Clio Grow.
Custom Immigration intake + Clio
The website captures case type, timing, and document-readiness context first, then hands the structured payload into a backend integration so Clio receives something more useful than a vague contact form.
When to use
When the firm needs stronger case-type qualification, multilingual clarity, or better analytics around complex immigration demand.
Intake design
What the website captures for immigration
Field
Case type or petition category
The page does not separate family, employment, humanitarian, or status matters clearly enough for first-pass qualification.
Field
Urgency or deadline
The follow-up path changes when the matter carries a filing or status deadline.
Field
Document readiness
Intake needs to know whether the next step is consultation, document collection, or referral.
Field
Preferred callback time
The first response window slips when staff do not know when the prospect can talk.
Field
Short situation summary
The team needs enough context to start the first conversation without rebuilding the case from zero.
We usually find 3 Clio handoff leaks on Immigration sites.
- We keep running into this: the website sends immigration consultations into Clio without enough context to separate case categories and timing cleanly.
- We keep running into this: the team still has to clarify petition type, urgency, and document readiness before the real follow-up can start.

We will show how urgent filings and general consultations can move through one site without the usual handoff drag.
We keep seeing firms lose clarity between case type and timing, so we walk through the current site, show where routing breaks down, and map the Clio handoff that fits.
