After you complete the eligibility quiz and sign up for your SimpleCitizen account, you will officially start your journey with us by filling out your SimpleCitizen questionnaire - which collects all the information needed to fill out your USCIS forms. Throughout the questionnaire, you will be asked to upload certain documents that help support your application and prove your eligibility for the immigration benefit you are requesting from USCIS. SimpleCitizen will also translate any government-issued documents that are required by USCIS for you. Once your questionnaire is complete and your supporting documents have been uploaded and translated, you will submit your application for review by an independent licensed immigration attorney. The average wait time for attorney reviews is 5-10 business days.
After the attorney completes their legal review, you will then be assigned to a case manager who will share the attorney’s feedback and easy-to-follow instructions on how to improve your application using the tools available with your SimpleCitizen account. Once you have made the requested changes, you will carefully review a PDF version of your compiled application and approve it for finalization. Depending on your package tier, we can even ship the entire application to your home or a FedEx office for pickup. You will just need to sign your forms, include your applicable USCIS fees, passport-sized photos (if required), and mail the package to USCIS following the detailed instructions we have included in your package.
Here at SimpleCitizen, our mission is to streamline the immigration process by making it easier to understand and more affordable. The price of your SimpleCitizen application package depends on which service level you choose. You can compare service levels and prices here.
IMPORTANT: You will need to pay your USCIS filing fees. They are NOT included in your SimpleCitizen service fee. Additionally, USCIS fees vary based on application type and are subject to change by the government. We know saving for, and identifying what USCIS filing fees apply to your situation can be stressful. SimpleCitizen’s support team is here to guide you. You can also look up USCIS filing fees using the USCIS fee calculator.
We get it. Determining whether you are eligible for an immigration benefit can be very difficult for some people. That’s why we’ve created our eligibility quiz. By answering just a few questions, our software can help you figure out which immigration benefits you might qualify for on your own. After you determine your eligibility, you can get started on your selected application type. Contact our live chat for support if you have questions as you go through the quiz. We’d be happy to assist you!
If you’re looking for a streamlined approach to preparing your application, but still want the peace of mind only an attorney review of your documents can provide, then our Essentials package offers just what you're looking for. However, if speaking directly with an immigration attorney about your situation is something you think you need to feel confident about your immigration journey, consider our Enhanced or Professional packages. If you need advice about your situation, are nervous about the interview, or just want the opportunity to sit down and talk with an immigration attorney and your options, we recommend signing up for the Professional package. While there are a lot of similarities between the Enhanced and Professional packages, the Professional package is unique in that it includes a total of three attorney consultations. While the Enhanced package offers the best value, the Professional package provides the greatest level of support.
Please note: SimpleCitizen is not a law firm. We provide access to attorney support through our network of independent immigration attorneys not employed by SimpleCitizen.
SimpleCitizen partners with a network of independent immigration attorneys who review all of the applications generated by SimpleCitizen customers. Immigration attorney legal reviews usually include recommendations about making an application more accurate and complete while providing legal advice tailored to your situation. This helps make sure you are putting your best foot forward and can more successfully navigate submitting your application to USCIS.
A lot of the process timeline depends on how quickly you work through your application, provide your documents and submit for review and feedback. On average it takes approximately 2 weeks from start to finish. Some people complete everything super fast, some people take longer. Here at SimpleCitizen, we work hard to get you the feedback on your application as quickly as possible. Application reviews are completed in the order they are received, and the average turnaround time is approximately 5-10 business days. As soon as the feedback on your application is ready, you will be assigned a SimpleCitizen case manager who will share this feedback with you and guide you through the rest of the process. Once you have implemented the feedback provided, depending on the package you purchased, we will either send you a final PDF or we will ship the entire application to your address or a pickup location of your choice, ready to sign and send off to USCIS.
