CheckMyImmigration was built because understanding your immigration options shouldn't require paying $300 for a consultation just to find out where you stand.
CheckMyImmigration.com is a free tool hub designed to help immigrants, visa holders, and their families understand the US immigration system — without jargon, without paywalls, and without signup requirements.
We built calculators and reference tools that answer the most common, most stressful questions people face when navigating the immigration process: How long is my wait? Am I eligible yet? What documents do I need? Which visa fits my situation?
Estimates your wait based on visa category, country of birth, and current Visa Bulletin dates.
Calculates when you can file for citizenship and flags common issues before they become problems.
Side-by-side comparison of work, family, and student visas — eligibility, duration, green card path.
Application-specific document lists you can check off as you gather what you need.
The US immigration system is one of the most complex legal systems in the world. For most people going through it, information is either locked behind expensive attorneys, buried in government PDFs, or scattered across Reddit threads and outdated blog posts.
We believe that knowing where you stand in the process — understanding your timeline, your eligibility, what documents you need — is basic information that should be freely accessible. Better-informed immigrants make better decisions, ask better questions, and get more from the professional help they do seek.
"We're not trying to replace immigration attorneys — we're trying to make sure you walk into that consultation already knowing the right questions to ask."
CheckMyImmigration.com is free to use and always will be. We sustain the site through two revenue sources: display advertising served through Google AdSense, and referral partnerships with licensed immigration attorney networks. When you click through to consult an attorney, we may receive a referral fee — this never influences our tool outputs or the information we provide.
We are transparent about this because we think you deserve to know. Our tools give the same estimates whether you click an ad or not.
Our tools pull from the following public sources, which we update monthly:
US Department of State Visa Bulletin — monthly priority date cutoffs for all visa categories and countries.
USCIS Visa Availability & Priority Dates — official guidance on when to file.
USCIS N-400 Requirements — naturalization eligibility criteria.
