Built for the (c)(8) EAD

A high-volume filing, handled without the grind.

Asylum EADs are repetitive, deadline-sensitive, and language-heavy — exactly the work software should carry. Lexfill runs the intake, the documents, and the fill; your team runs the judgment.

Guided intake

Your client answers one plain question at a time.

The applicant answers one plain question at a time — identity, entry, the pending asylum application — in Arabic, Spanish, Turkish, or English. The (c)(8) pathway asks only what this category needs.

  • A (c)(8)-specific pathway — no irrelevant questions
  • Runs in English, Spanish, Turkish, Arabic, or Chinese — RTL included

Asylum EAD questions

The asylum work permit, answered.

What is the (c)(8) work permit?

Applicants with a pending asylum application (Form I-589) may apply for employment authorization under category (c)(8) by filing Form I-765 once the required waiting period has run. Lexfill runs a (c)(8)-specific intake and fills the I-765 for attorney review.

What documents does the application need?

Lexfill's checklist covers a government photo ID or passport, a passport-style photo, proof the asylum application is pending (the I-589 receipt notice), and any prior EAD. Each upload is AI-identified and attorney-verified.

Does Lexfill check the filing timing?

Lexfill flags timing signals it can read from the record — like how long the I-589 has been pending at the planned filing date — in plain English for the attorney to confirm. The attorney always makes the timing call.

Does the applicant need to speak English?

No. The intake runs in English, Spanish, Turkish, Arabic, or Chinese, with full right-to-left support, and every answer arrives in the attorney console in English.

Does Lexfill give legal advice?

No. Lexfill prepares the record — intake, documents, filled I-765, and flags. The attorney reviews, edits, approves, and files everything.

Can we switch to Lexfill from Clio or another practice management tool?

Yes. Lexfill integrates with Clio directly: connect your account, import your contacts and matters in a click, and push completed work back to Clio when you're done. On a different vendor? We'll do your migration for free — our team moves your clients and matters into Lexfill for you, usually within a few days.
