How it works

Five steps, one team walking with you.

You see the same progress we do: a portal with checklist and status, WhatsApp for day to day, and video when you need to talk it through.

  1. Screening

    A quiz or a chat with Maya on WhatsApp to map the paths that may fit.

  2. Plan and contract

    A proposal with scope and price; the contract is accepted in the portal before any charge.

  3. Documents

    Your path's checklist. AI reads each upload and shows what is missing or unreadable.

  4. Preparation and review

    Forms and letters drafted by the team and reviewed by a person before filing.

  5. Filing and follow-up

    Tracking for the physical packet, USCIS receipts, requests for evidence (RFE), and alerts.

Cases that worked out

The process in real life

How each path works in practice: what was done and what made the petition succeed.

Destination United States A house with a porch

01K-1Immediate relatives

K-1, then adjustment

An American fiancé petitioned his fiancée with an I-129F. She entered on a K-1, they married within 90 days, and she adjusted status with an I-485. Work authorization came with an EAD while the adjustment was pending. The final card was conditional, because the marriage was recent, and an I-751 followed.

Why it worked

It worked because the engagement already existed before the visa, the two had met in person, and the marriage happened inside the K-1 window. The K-1 itself is not a green card. The green card came from the adjustment after the marriage.

Destination Florida Miami

02Immediate relatives

Adjustment inside the U.S., spouse already on H-1B

An Indian engineer on H-1B married a U.S. citizen after years of a relationship in the U.S. They filed the I-130 and I-485 together, plus an EAD and advance parole. He kept the H-1B until approval. Marriage interview at the field office.

Why it worked

It worked because the original entry had been lawful, H-1B status was maintained, and the marriage was genuine. India's employment queue stopped being the path. An immediate relative of a citizen does not depend on the Visa Bulletin.

Destination Massachusetts Lakes in the fall

03Immediate relatives

Marriage during F-1, with a clean history

A student on F-1 had been dating a citizen since the second year of college. They married after graduation, still on OPT. Joint adjustment. At the interview they brought the lease, photos from college, old messages, and witnesses.

Why it worked

It worked because of the timeline of the relationship, which predated any visa plan. OPT only held status while the I-485 was decided.

Destination California Lake Tahoe

04Immediate relatives

Spouse abroad, petitioner moving back to live in the U.S.

A citizen lived abroad with his wife. For the consulate to accept the case, he showed a U.S. domicile or a concrete intent to reestablish domicile: a job, a house, a move already scheduled.

Why it worked

It worked because a spouse I-130 requires the citizen to have a U.S. domicile. Proof of the move closed the point that most often blocks a couple living abroad.

Destination Georgia Suches

05F2AFamily preference

F2A that crossed a bulletin regression

The date became current, the couple sent documents to the NVC, and the bulletin retrogressed. They stayed documentarily ready and picked up again when the date returned.

Why it worked

It worked because of operational patience. Retrogression does not cancel an approved petition. It only cancels that month's visa window.

Destination New York Brooklyn

06F2BFamily preference

F2B, proof of being unmarried at the interview

At the consular interview they asked for proof there had been no marriage: certificates, history, consistency of the form.

Why it worked

It worked because the declared marital status was true. An unregistered marriage that exists in fact is the kind of fact the interview looks for.

Destination Massachusetts Fall roads

07F3Family preference

F3 with a joint sponsor

The elderly citizen who petitioned her daughter did not have income for the I-864. A qualified joint sponsor signed.

Why it worked

It worked because financial support is a visa requirement, separate from the relationship. The relationship approves the I-130. Income or a joint sponsor releases the visa.

Destination California Golden Gate

08EB-1

L-1A at the limit, EB-1C before losing status

An executive tracked the maximum period of the L-1A and the company filed the EB-1C I-140 while status was still valid. With a current bulletin, the I-485 kept the stay authorized.

Why it worked

It worked because of the calendar. Overstaying the L-1 with no immigrant petition on the way pushes the person into another strategy.

Destination Maine Winter in New England

09EB-2

EB-2, a derivative spouse working with an EAD

The principal in adjustment of status. The derivative spouse joined the same I-485 and received an EAD. Both received green cards when the principal was approved.

Why it worked

It worked because the derivative was included and was a spouse on the right date. A derivative does not file a separate EB-2. The derivative follows the principal.

Destination New York Manhattan

10EB-3

EB-3, change of employer after a pending I-485

An I-485 pending for more than 180 days, an approved I-140. The person changed jobs to a role in the same or a similar field, with portability. The green card was issued in the new job.

Why it worked

It worked because of the portability rule, not the freedom to abandon the basis in the first month. The 180 days and the similarity of the role are the core.

Destination Massachusetts Cohasset

11EB-3

EB-3, a PERM audit overcome

The Department of Labor audited the recruitment. The employer answered with ads, résumés of rejected candidates, and lawful reasons for rejection. PERM approved. I-140 next.

Why it worked

It worked because of the recruitment trail that was kept. An audited PERM is not a lost case. It is a case that needs the paperwork the process should already have had.

Destination New York Colonial house

12EB-3

EB-3 derivative family

The principal received the green card. The spouse and unmarried minor child, abroad, did follow-to-join.

Why it worked

It worked because the relationship existed on the right date and the child still fit as a derivative. A child who marries or ages out without enough CSPA does not follow on the same visa.

Destination Massachusetts Nantucket

13EB-5EB-4 and EB-5

EB-5, derivative spouse and children

The principal was approved. The spouse and unmarried minor children received conditional residence together, and removed the condition together when the project met the target.

Why it worked

It worked because the family was included on the same investor basis. The child close to 21 needed attention to the deadline, as in any category.

Destination New York Midtown

14EB-5EB-4 and EB-5

EB-5 removal of conditions after a project delay

The I-829 to remove conditions was filed with proof that the capital remained at risk and that the jobs were created, even with construction delayed, because the record supported creation within the rule.

Why it worked

It worked when the job numbers existed. An investor green card that does not create the required jobs stalls at the I-829, not at the initial petition.

Destination Florida Orlando

15Lottery, asylum, refugee status, and protections

A DV that looked "easy" and closed only after inadmissibility was resolved

A selectee had an old visa issue. It was resolved with a waiver when the law allowed it, before the interview, and the immigrant visa was issued.

Why it worked

It worked because the lottery does not forgive inadmissibility. The drawing only opens the door of the category. The medical exam, criminal records, and a prior visa still apply.

Typical situations for each path, with no one identified. Every case is unique and the decision is always the U.S. government's.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the process

From screening to approval: what happens at each step and what you need to do.

Didn't find your question? Ask on WhatsApp.

How many questions are in the screening?

About 8, on education, work, family, and goals. It takes about 5 minutes and you get the result right away.

Is the screening result final?

No. It shows the most likely paths based on your answers. Confirmation comes later, when the team reviews the documents.

How soon after the contract does the work start?

Right after the contract is accepted and the first payment is made, you receive access to the portal with your path's checklist and an introduction to the person responsible for the case.

How do I send my documents?

Through the portal, from a computer or a phone. You can take a photo or send a PDF. Each checklist item shows what is requested and an example.

What if the photo of the document comes out badly?

The system tells you if the file is unreadable, cropped, or the wrong document, and you resend it right away — without waiting days to find out.

Are the documents safe?

Yes. They stay in an area protected by login, and only your case team can access them. Nothing is shared without your authorization.

Who prepares the forms?

The team drafts the forms and letters from the information in the portal. Before filing, a person reviews everything and you check it and sign.

How do I follow the progress of my case?

In the portal you see each stage, what is already done, and what is missing. Important updates also arrive by WhatsApp and email.

Can I talk with the team by video?

Yes. We schedule Zoom or Google Meet calls to explain stages, prepare for interviews, or answer questions calmly. Recording only with your consent.

How does the petition reach USCIS?

Some forms are filed online; others, in a physical packet. In those cases, the shipping tracking number is linked to your case in the portal.

What happens after filing?

USCIS receipts arrive, biometrics are scheduled and, depending on the path, the NVC stage and the interview. We tell you about each step and what you need to do.

What if USCIS asks for more documents?

We review the request for evidence (RFE), tell you what needs to be gathered, and prepare the response within the deadline.

Do you prepare me for the interview?

Yes. We review the case with you, practice the most common questions, and explain what to take on the day.

What happens after approval?

We guide you on entering the U.S. (in consular processing), the arrival of the card, the Social Security number, and the care needed to keep permanent residence.

Can I do part of the process myself?

Yes. On the Organizer plan you fill in and file yourself, with a checklist, a document check, and chat. On the Preparation plans, the team takes on more of the steps.
