NEW YORK, Nov. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lawfully, Inc., creator of the popular immigration status management app for individual immigrants, today announced its raise of $2.5M seed funding from investors including Bluepoint Partners, Lotte Ventures, TBT, and angel investors with a focus on legaltech and AI. Additionally, Lawfully celebrates a noteworthy milestone of more than 800k registered cases on its app, an increase of 400% from the beginning of 2021.
Lawfully officially launched its first product, Lawfully Case Tracker, in 2020 and has seen tremendous growth within its organization and immigrant community from those who are looking for help with their visas and green cards. 12% of green card applicants within the US have used Lawfully's mobile app, while 80% of users have 1-year retention of ongoing cases, consistent with reports that each year 1 million new green cards and 10 million long-term nonimmigrant visas are issued.
"With immigration laws frequently changing, it can be challenging for applicants to understand the intricate U.S. immigration system,” said Joon Ahn, CEO of Lawfully. “The Lawfully app makes it simple for applicants to view their cases while assisting in the search for legal support from American immigration attorneys. In our opinion, every immigrant should have Lawfully Case Tracker on their phone as it is such an essential tool.”
