What welcomeUSA is, and is not

welcomeUSA is self-help software. It helps you prepare your own immigration petition by putting your answers on the official USCIS forms and checking your packet for completeness. You are the person filing your petition.

We are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice. Nothing on this site or in the software is legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Our completeness check is a software check, not a legal review.

We are not affiliated with USCIS or any government agency. USCIS filing fees are set by the government and are paid by you directly to USCIS. They are never collected by welcomeUSA.

No result is guaranteed. Decisions on immigration petitions are made by the U.S. government. We cannot promise approval, a timeline, or an outcome.

Independent attorneys. If you choose to work with an attorney through welcomeUSA, that attorney is an independent licensed professional who is not our employee. They set their own fees and are responsible for the legal services they provide.

Privacy

Your information is encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not share it with USCIS or anyone else; you decide when and how to file. You can delete your account and data at any time from your account settings. The full privacy policy will be published here before launch.

Consumer terms

The consumer terms of service, including refund terms for the petition draft, will be published here before launch.

Self-help software. Not a law firm, not affiliated with USCIS. No result is guaranteed.
