Immigration law runs on volume — hundreds of cases with filing fees, translation costs, and processing timelines that stretch months. Between USCIS fee increases, multilingual staff costs, and clients who pay in installments — immigration attorneys need steady capital to manage high caseloads.
This Is Why You're Here
USCIS raised filing fees 25%. Your active caseload has 80 pending applications. The fee increase adds $40K in costs that you can't pass to clients mid-case.
You're expanding to a second office in a community with high immigration demand. Build-out, bilingual staff, and marketing total $55K. The client base is there but the upfront investment isn't.
A corporate client wants to sponsor H-1B visas for 15 employees. Legal fees total $60K but the company pays net-45. You need to fund the work upfront.
Your bilingual paralegal quit and the replacement costs $55K/year plus a $3K recruiter fee. You've got 60 active cases that need Spanish-language client communication this week — not next month.
Premium processing requests spiked — 20 clients want expedited H-1B filings at $2,805 each. That's $56K in USCIS fees you need to front before clients reimburse you.
USCIS raised filing fees and I was looking at $40K in added costs across 80 pending cases. Basecamp connected me with a lender who understood immigration volume — $95K line of credit approved in 2 days. I didn't lose a single client.

Built for Your Business
When filing fees jump 25% overnight, you can't renegotiate 80 active cases. You eat the cost. A credit line absorbs those shocks so a government policy change doesn't wreck your quarter.
Immigration firms need translators, bilingual paralegals, and multilingual intake staff. That's a payroll premium most law firms don't carry. Our lenders factor that overhead into their approval — they won't penalize you for it.
Your clients live in specific communities. Opening a second location isn't optional growth — it's how you serve people who can't drive 45 minutes for a filing update. We fund the build-out, staffing, and first three months of rent.
Miss a filing deadline and your client gets deported. That's not an exaggeration. When you need $15K in filing fees and translation costs this week, you can't wait 30 days for bank approval. We fund in 24 hours.
