clearpath Offers U.S. Immigration Solution for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

NEW YORK, Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- clearpath™, the leading provider of simplified immigration solutions, offers the first and only way for individuals to complete forms online for the temporary clemency program Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). clearpath enables the nearly two million "DREAMers" to complete the new forms using its simple, secure online solution for under $100.

Developed by U.S. immigration agency leaders with unique expertise, clearpath is a patented Web-based solution offering dynamic, individualized guidance. Using plain language, it utilizes an interview-style format to help users choose and complete the correct form in as little as 15 minutes – at a fraction of the cost a lawyer or notario would charge.

"While many websites will direct you to expensive consultative services, or charge for 'information packets,' clearpath will allow you to complete the application online." said Michael J. Petrucelli, Chairman and Founder, clearpath, and former Acting Director and Deputy Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

clearpath eliminates the hassles and confusions of paper-based filing systems. It simplifies complex language and provides error-checking to avoid rejection for common mistakes. Filing online avoids long lines at government offices, as well as the risk of fraud or abuse. Furthermore, the service is much less expensive than services offered by non-attorney third parties commonly known as notarios. Both USCIS and the American Bar Association have launched campaigns to highlight the problem of notario fraud.

"I cannot emphasize enough how our intelligent software helps our users avoid common errors. This is especially critical as any mistake, however small, can be life-changing in such an important process," said Alan Samuels, CEO, clearpath.

The immigration filing market is ripe for digitization. Each year 100 million forms are filed with the USCIS. Legal residents typically file multiple forms over a period of years as their status changes. Each year, law firms and other advisors and consultants generate over $10 billion in fees.

Backed by ff Venture Capital, a leading capital provider to innovative and disruptive technology companies, clearpath is currently focused on enhancing product offerings and fueling marketing.
