Our mission: Guide PhD holders and Postdocs in their pursuit of a green card.
This website grew out of the experiences of a few PhDs who successfully self-petitioned on their own and obtained their green cards. Our goal is to help other PhDs prepare their own self-petition for permanent residency through structured, easy-to-follow task lists, and a thorough example petition packet. Our packet will 1) guide you in collecting the right evidence and obtaining the necessary recommendation letters, 2) familiarize you with the key points to emphasize in the petition, and 3) provide guidelines for preparing a compelling case and an effective petition.
