What can I use for free?
Do I need an account to read a guide or search?
No. Guides, summaries, FAQs, search and source links can be used without registration.
Can I download and print a checklist for free?
Yes. Editorial checklists can be checked in the page, downloaded as an interactive PDF and printed. They are preparation organizers rather than official forms.
Does using a free checklist file my application?
No. The checklist does not submit anything to an agency, preserve a deadline or establish eligibility. Use the official process for an application.
Are government fees and translation services also free?
This publication’s editorial tools are free. Government filing fees, attorney services and commercial translation are separate. Check each institution or provider’s current requirements and terms.
Do I need to upload my immigration documents?
No. The current search and checklists do not need identity records, case numbers or financial documents. Avoid entering sensitive case information into search or correction fields.
How can I tell whether a guide has been reviewed?
Each guide identifies its author, source-check date and updates, with direct links to the institutions behind the information.
