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 in your life on the same list.
What Lawfully does better
- Analysis built on their own database of millions of cases, including comparisons against similar filings.
- Video consultations with immigration attorneys, and mock interviews run by former officers.
- 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.
- You can build a checklist from ChatGPT or Claude and have it land in your account.
