LawDiver Immigration for ChatGPT — Setup Guide

Keep ChatGPT on held immigration authorities. Use the free LawDiver Immigration reader today, wire a Custom GPT Action to the Immigration API, or install the official ChatGPT Immigration app when OpenAI lists it.

Open ImmigrationBack to API/MCP
Official Immigration app — not listed yet. Caselaw LawDiver is already an approved ChatGPT app. Immigration will follow Install → sign in → Allow when listed. Until then, use the paths below — and never paste an ld_imm_ key into a chat message.

Free web + ChatGPT side by side

Open lawdiver.com/immigration, find the Policy Manual chapter, FAM section, or I&N Dec. decision, then paste the verified text into ChatGPT with a hard boundary:

Use only the immigration authorities below. Do not cite any Policy Manual section, FAM cite, I&N Dec. decision, or regulation that is not in this list. If these authorities do not answer the question, say so.

Official ChatGPT Immigration app (when listed)

When LawDiver Immigration appears in the ChatGPT app directory, install it the same way as caselaw LawDiver: Install → sign in to LawDiver → Allow. No MCP URL to type, no key paste. Until that listing URL is published, prefer the web product or a Custom GPT Action below.

Custom GPT Action (Immigration REST)

For builders: create a Custom GPT Action against https://lawdiver.com/api/v1/immigration/*. This is REST, not MCP.

  1. Mint an ld_imm_ key under Account → API Keys → Immigration API. Caselaw ld_live_ keys are rejected.
  2. In ChatGPT, create or edit a Custom GPT → Actions → auth type API Key, header name Authorization, value Bearer ld_imm_YOUR_KEY.
  3. Point Actions at the Immigration endpoints: search, retrieve, case, check, and bulletin under https://lawdiver.com/api/v1/immigration. See the Immigration API page.
  4. Create a free account at lawdiver.com/signup if you need one.

What Immigration covers

Same corpus as LawDiver Immigration for Claude: Policy Manual, FAM/FAH, INA, 8 C.F.R., AAO/OCAHO/BALCA, precedential I&N Dec., linked federal petitions, and stored Visa Bulletin months. AAO non-precedent decisions are not binding (8 C.F.R. § 103.3(c)).

MCP endpoint for developers

Header-based MCP clients use https://lawdiver.com/mcp/immigration with an ld_imm_ Bearer key. Toolspec: https://lawdiver.com/mcp/immigration/toolspec.json.

Questions

Is there an official ChatGPT app for LawDiver Immigration yet?
Caselaw LawDiver is live in ChatGPT. An official Immigration listing is still coming. Until then, use the free web reader or a Custom GPT Action against Immigration REST.
Do I paste an ld_imm_ key into a ChatGPT message?
Never. Put keys only in Custom GPT Action auth settings, or wait for official OAuth. A key typed into chat cannot connect to LawDiver.
Can I use the caselaw LawDiver ChatGPT app for the Policy Manual?
No. That app talks to https://lawdiver.com/mcp. Immigration tools live on https://lawdiver.com/mcp/immigration and /api/v1/immigration/*.
Are AAO non-precedent decisions binding?
No. AAO non-precedent decisions are not binding (8 C.F.R. § 103.3(c)). Check I&N Dec. cites before relying on them.
Is LawDiver Immigration free?
The web product at lawdiver.com/immigration is free during the current rollout. API keys need a regular LawDiver account. ChatGPT is billed by OpenAI.
