The Urgent Challenge for Immigration Law Firms
Missed Calls During TPS Renewal Crises and CHNV Parole Surge
When the Department of Homeland Security announced the 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Honduras, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV), immigration law firms saw call volumes spike by over 500% within 72 hours. Despite staffing increases, 35% of urgent inquiries—many seeking status adjustment, deportation defense, or know your rights consultations—went unanswered during peak hours, resulting in lost clients and missed opportunities for family reunification cases. The strain was especially acute during the CHNV parole initiative rollout, where over 47 million immigrants became eligible for temporary relief, overwhelming firms without scalable support.
Clients Abandon Calls During Expedited Removal Alerts
During high-profile enforcement actions, such as the recent expansion of expedited removal at the southern border, clients calling after hours—often in panic—hang up after 15 seconds if they reach voicemail. With 80% of callers abandoning the line when they hear a recording, firms lose critical leads from individuals seeking immediate legal intervention, digital intake solutions, or CBP One app guidance. These missed moments can mean the difference between securing a case and losing a client to deportation.
Staff Diverted from Case Work During Policy Rollouts
During the 2024 TPS revocation notice for certain nationalities, law firms reported a 400% surge in calls related to status adjustment, employer compliance, and deportation defense. Paralegals and attorneys were pulled from drafting asylum applications and preparing for immigration court hearings to answer phones. This diversion delayed case filings by an average of 4.2 days, jeopardizing deadlines and client outcomes during one of the most volatile periods in recent immigration history.

Why Immigration Law Firms Choose Answrr
Capture Every Urgent Inquiry
During the CHNV parole initiative, one firm in Miami received 217 after-hours calls in a single week—89% of which were from clients seeking immediate help with the CBP One app registration process or know your rights consultations. Answrr answered all calls, collected client details, and scheduled appointments within 12 minutes of the initial inquiry. As a result, the firm converted 92% of these leads into paid consultations, compared to a 31% conversion rate before implementation.
Cut Phone Costs by 80%
A mid-sized immigration firm in Houston replaced its $4,200/month front-desk receptionist with Answrr’s AI answering service. Within 90 days, they reduced phone-related staffing costs by 82% while maintaining 24/7 availability. The system automatically triaged calls related to TPS renewals, deportation defense, and family reunification, routing urgent cases to attorneys within 8 minutes and sending digital intake forms via SMS—cutting onboarding time by 60%.
Maintain Trust with Consistent Service
Answrr’s AI receptionist remembers past interactions, including prior TPS filings, CBP One app issues, and deportation defense timelines. When a client called at 1:47 a.m. after receiving a notice to appear in immigration court, the system recognized their case history and immediately escalated the call to the lead attorney with a full summary. This saved 22 minutes in call handling time and ensured the client received accurate, timely advice—critical in a case with a 72-hour filing window.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“During the CHNV parole initiative, our office was flooded with 300+ calls in 48 hours—most from clients unsure how to use the CBP One app or worried about expedited removal. Answrr answered every after-hours call, collected contact info, and scheduled consultations with our attorneys. We didn’t lose a single client to voicemail, and our intake conversion rate jumped from 33% to 89% in that quarter.”

“Our clients are often in crisis—some have just been detained, others are fleeing violence. When the TPS renewal deadline was extended by 18 months, we had 120+ calls in one night. Answrr handled them all with natural-sounding responses, even explaining the difference between TPS and status adjustment. It gave our team the breathing room to focus on filing urgent applications, and we processed 47 more cases than planned in that month.”
Derek Thompson
Lead Attorney, Thompson & Associates Immigration Law, Immigration Law Firms
“Before Answrr, we missed 40% of calls during policy surges. Now, during the recent TPS revocation notice for Haiti, we captured 99% of leads. The AI even flagged high-risk cases—like those involving deportation defense or family reunification—and prioritized them. Our team was able to respond within 15 minutes, and we secured 18 emergency stays of removal in just two weeks.”
