About ImmiGo
ImmiGo is an app designed to help immigrants stay informed about their legal rights in an ever-changing political landscape. Informed by our Human-Computer Interaction class, our goal is to simplify complex, high-stakes legal updates into an accessible experience for diverse users.
Project Context and Problem
Immigrants in the U.S. often face overwhelming challenges in understanding and keeping up with changes in immigration law. With frequent court rulings, policy shifts, and executive orders, it’s difficult to stay informed. This is especially true when English is not a first language and legal systems are unfamiliar. These uncertainties can directly impact livelihoods, residency status, and peace of mind.
Solution
ImmiGo is a centralized portal for up-to-date immigration policy information. The platform provides real-time updates on legal changes and translates this information into accessible, clear formats in multiple languages. Our simple design ensures that all users, regardless of their tech or legal literacy, can understand and use the platform.
