COMPARISON
MyCheck vs Lawfully
Lawfully is an immigration app that tracks cases across USCIS, NVC, DOL and EOIR, shows analysis drawn from millions of cases it has collected, and sells video consultations with immigration attorneys.
Lawfully is the deeper immigration research tool and the place to buy attorney time. MyCheck is for doing the work: the case, the documents it needs, the deadlines, and everything else on the same list. The sharpest difference: Lawfully predicts a decision date for your case, while MyCheck shows what USCIS publishes and stops there.
Choose MyCheck if
- You want the waiting turned into a list of things to do, with dates on them.
- You are already working it out in ChatGPT, Claude or Grok and want it saved without retyping.
- You would rather have USCIS’s own published times than an estimate of your decision date.
- You want one app for the case and for the move, the renewal and the rest of it.
Choose Lawfully if
- You want a predicted decision date, and to see how your case compares with similar filings.
- Your case is at NVC, DOL or EOIR rather than USCIS.
- You want to buy time with an immigration attorney, or a mock interview with a former officer.
What Lawfully does better
- Analysis built on their own database — 6,676,703 cases, as their site counted them on 19 September 2026 — including comparisons against similar filings.
- Video consultations booked inside the app with their own panel of attorneys, and mock interviews run by former officers. MyCheck refers you to one partner firm instead.
- Tracking that reaches beyond USCIS into NVC, DOL and EOIR cases.
- A large community of applicants sharing timelines.
What MyCheck does better
- The checklist is the product: what this status means you should do, with reminders and a Today view.
- Checklists you share with a spouse, a family member or an attorney, working the same list.
- Checklists for everything else too — a move, a trip, a renewal — not only immigration.
- It works inside ChatGPT, Claude and Grok: ask in the chat and the list saves to your account, on the free plan.
- The processing time comes from USCIS and is labelled as history, not a prediction of your own decision date — a line the app repeats wherever it is shown.
- What a connected AI app may read is fenced: checklists attached to a case are never exposed to it, and receipt numbers are masked.
