Free Tools for a Process That's Anything But Free
CheckMyImmigration.com was built because understanding your immigration options should not require paying for a consultation just to find out where you stand. We provide free calculators, reference tools, and plain-English guides that answer the most common, most stressful questions people face when navigating the US immigration process.
What We Offer
Four free interactive tools, accessible without signup:
Green Card Wait Time Estimator
Estimates your wait based on visa category, country of birth, and current Visa Bulletin dates.
Naturalization Eligibility Checker
Calculates when you can file for citizenship and flags common issues before they become problems.
Visa Comparison Chart
Side-by-side comparison of work, family, and student visas including eligibility, duration, and green card path.
Document Checklist
Application-specific document lists you can check off as you gather what you need.
We also publish plain-English guides on priority dates, green card wait times, H-1B visas, citizenship requirements, and USCIS case status meanings — the interpretation layer that government websites do not provide.
Why We Built This
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 attorney consultations, buried in government PDFs, or scattered across unreliable sources online.
Knowing where you stand in the process — your timeline, your eligibility, what documents you need — is basic information that should be freely accessible. Better-informed applicants make better decisions, ask better questions, and get more value 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."
How We Stay Free
The site is sustained through display advertising through Google AdSense, and referral partnerships with licensed immigration attorney networks. When you click through to find an attorney, we may receive a referral fee. This never influences our tool outputs or the information we provide — our tools return the same estimates regardless.
Data Sources
Our tools are built on publicly available government data, updated monthly:
US Department of State Visa Bulletin — monthly priority date cutoffs for all categories and countries USCIS Visa Availability and Priority Dates — official guidance on when to file USCIS N-400 Requirements — naturalization eligibility criteria
