Key answer
This is an open knowledge base - by everyone for everyone. The more people share what worked for them, the more accurate and useful the material becomes for those who come next. Here is how you can help - it is all free and simple.
Highlight text and suggest an edit
On any page of the site, highlight a passage of text - a "Suggest an edit" button will appear. Describe what would work better, and if you want, add a source link. This is a way to fix an inaccuracy or add to any material.
Suggest an item for the checklist
On any stage page, there is a "Suggest an item for this stage" button. And any note you make or item you add can be suggested for the main checklist with the "Suggest" button next to it.
Suggest an article or topic
At the bottom of every knowledge base article there is a block called "Open knowledge base - can be improved": suggest a new article, a topic, or an edit to an existing one.
Share a useful link
Any suggestion form has a field for a link - share useful resources, examples, and sources.
Leave a verified review of a specialist
In the Reviews section, you can anonymously share your experience working with lawyers, agencies, PR professionals, translators, and other paid specialists. To have a review published, you need to attach proof - moderators review it privately, and the documents themselves are never published anywhere. This is an experience, not an accusation; the specialist has the right to respond.
What makes a suggestion good
- Specifics: exactly what to add or change and why.
- Source: a link to an official USCIS page, form, or a reliable source.
- Neutral tone: stick to the point, without personal attacks.
