01/03The wizard

One clear, regulation-tied question per criterion.

01

What the score breaks down.

01

One clear question per criterion.

The wizard walks through your case one criterion at a time, in plain language tied to the actual regulation — no vague "tell us about yourself" box. Each answer lands before the next question appears, so you always know exactly which criterion you're building.

Criterion by criterionPlain questionsNo account needed
02

Two scores, not one vague number.

The outer ring scores your strongest criteria; the inner ring scores the totality of the record — a file can score well criterion by criterion and still read thin in the aggregate, and the gauge shows both at once instead of blending them into one misleading number.

Criteria scoreFinal-merits scoreTraffic-light detail
03

Real gaps, flagged as they're found.

Every flag names the specific gap — a recency issue, a missing independent source, a venue split left unstated — tied to the exact criterion and exhibit it affects, never a generic "needs work" note.

You don't find out your weakest criterion until it's too late to fix.

You're guessing which criteria are strong.

Without a criterion-by-criterion baseline, you're guessing which parts of your case are actually ready and which just feel ready.

A single "looks good" isn't a diagnosis.

A friend, a forum, or a generic AI tool can tell you your case looks strong. None of them can tell you which specific criterion is thin.

By filing, there's no time left to strengthen a gap.

A gap found before you file is a fixable gap. The same gap found in an RFE costs months and forces you to respond from a defensive position.

03

Why a chatbot can't score your case.

A guess and a graded, per-criterion score are not the same kind of answer.

A chatbot doesn't know the regulation.

General-purpose AI has no fixed rubric to score against — it improvises a reaction to your prompt, not a graded read against 8 CFR 204.5(h)(3)'s actual criteria.

Flattery isn't feedback.

"Your background is impressive" feels encouraging and tells you nothing about which criterion needs more evidence before you file.

Meeting every criterion isn't the same as reading strong overall.

A file can satisfy each criterion individually and still read weak in the aggregate — a single blended score hides exactly the gap a dual-ring score is built to show.

Know your weakest criterion before you file.

04

How your score is built.

01

Answer one criterion at a time.

Pick your visa type and answer plain, regulation-tied questions criterion by criterion — no document upload required to get started.

02

Get your dual-ring score.

The outer ring scores your strongest criteria; the inner ring scores the totality of the record — both visible at once, never blended into one number.

03

See exactly what's thin.

Specific flags surface for each gap — a recency issue, a missing independent source — tied to the criterion it affects, not a generic warning.
