AI immigration compliance
AI immigration compliance.
Immigration compliance means keeping every permit holder within the terms of their permit, before filing and for as long as they hold it. Settio uses AI to check documents against the permit's requirements and to flag what a case is missing, and plain rules to watch salaries, expiry dates and job changes. Passports are read from their machine-readable zone and never sent to AI.
In short
