Product Updates - August 2025
1.GovNoticeIDP Enhancements
Applicable Editions: Enterprise, Professional
Applicable Country Subscription: United States of America
Applicable Users: For firms subscribed to GovNoticeIDP
Mitratech introduced GovNoticeIDP in February 2025 as an AI-powered solution purpose-built to streamline and automate the processing of USCIS government notices, helping firms accelerate case work. Learn more about GovNoticeIDP here.
With this release, we’re excited to roll out a new set of enhancements that further improve efficiency, accuracy, and usability.
I. Enhanced Record Matching for Improved Accuracy
A. Support for Beneficiary Names with Special Characters
GovNoticeIDP now recognizes and matches beneficiary names that include special characters (such as accents é, è or hyphens) more accurately. To ensure formatting does not impact matching, characters like hyphens, apostrophes, and accent marks are excluded during comparison between USCIS notices and INSZoom records.
Examples:
- O'Brien and OBrien are treated as equivalent.
- Smith-Jones and SmithJones are treated as equivalent.
- José and Jose, Renée and Renee are treated as equivalent.
B. Support for Beneficiary Names with Middle Initials
GovNoticeIDP now supports beneficiary names that include a middle initial on USCIS receipts. When present (e.g., John A. Smith), the system compares the First and Last Name along with the Middle Initial from the USCIS notice against the corresponding INSZoom record. The Middle Initial in the notice is matched with the first letter of the Middle Name in INSZoom.
This enhancement improves accuracy for matching beneficiaries with middle initials, minimizing the need for manual intervention.
II. Warning Icon for Notices Missing Required Fields
GovNoticeIDP now displays a warning icon next to notices in the Matched Files list when required fields are missing.
Notices with a warning icon cannot be added to the processing queue. This helps users quickly identify incomplete notices, resolve missing information, and ensure only complete notices move forward for processing.
III. Visa Category Field Added to the View Receipt Interface
GovNoticeIDP now displays the Visa Category (Preference Category) field in the Receipt Details section under the Matched Record tab of the View Receipt interface.
The Visa Category field is automatically populated for I-130 and I-140 case types when a priority date is available in the USCIS notice. Users can review and update this field, if needed, before adding the notice to the processing queue.
Note: The Visa Category (Preference Category) is derived from the Preference Classification on the USCIS Receipt Notice, cross-referenced with the INSZoom visa category mapping. Click here for details on the latest mapping.
2.Unified Footer for a Consistent INSZoom Experience
Applicable Editions: All
This release introduces a unified footer across the INSZoom application to deliver a more consistent and improved user experience.
What’s New:
- Consistent Design Across Modules: The new footer appears across all modules and user roles, creating a unified look and feel throughout INSZoom.
- Expanded Coverage: The footer is now also available in the To-Do module and on the Information Access page for external users — areas where it was previously not present.
- Quick Access to Support: For case manager users, the footer now includes a “Need Help?” link providing quick access to the Support Portal for faster assistance.

3.Updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
Applicable Editions: All
This release updates the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use links across the INSZoom login and related application pages to point directly to Mitratech’s official policy pages. This ensures you always have the latest versions, available at our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use pages.
4.Enhanced Addendum Data Population for Forms I-485 and I-130A Supporting All Employment History
Applicable Editions: All
The addendum data population for Forms I-485 and I-130A has been enhanced to include all employment records from the questionnaire, displayed in order of most recent employment first. Employment details already captured in the main sections of the forms will be excluded from the addendum.
This enhancement ensures that all employment history — whether inside or outside the United States — is accurately populated in line with the instructions provided in the USCIS forms.
