How Immiva works
From plain questions to a filing-ready USCIS packet.
Immiva guides you through your application like tax software guides you through a return: one plain question at a time. It checks every answer and audits your full packet. You can open live chat inside your application when you need help.
- Free eligibility check
- Live chat support included
- Money-back guarantee
What is at stake
USCIS keeps the filing fee whether you are approved or not.
A rejected packet comes back to you and your place in the queue is gone. Mistakes cost months on top of the money. Immiva exists to catch them before your packet leaves the printer.
A rejected packet starts over
A missing signature or the wrong fee sends the whole package back, and you file again from the beginning.
Government fees are not refundable
USCIS filing fees run to hundreds of dollars per form, and USCIS keeps them whether the answer is yes or no.
Errors follow you
Answers that contradict each other across forms can come back as a Request for Evidence, sometimes years later.
Step by step
What happens, in six steps
Check that you qualify, before you spend anything
You start with a free eligibility check: a short set of questions built from the USCIS requirements for your application. If something in your situation does not fit (a residence gap for citizenship, a filing window problem for I-751), you find out now, not after you have paid someone.
The check is free and takes about two minutes. You see where you stand before you create an account or pay anything.
Answer plain questions, not form jargon
Instead of "Part 9, Item 12.b" and a 40-page instruction booklet, you get questions in normal language. Help text explains what USCIS is asking and why. Questions adapt to your earlier answers, so you only see the ones that apply to you.
Enter each fact once. Your address, work history and family details fill in on every form and every field that needs them.
Open live chat inside your application for questions about the platform or your filing packet.
Checks run on every answer as you type
Rules written from the USCIS instructions for each form run while you work. If two dates contradict each other, an entry falls outside an allowed window, or an answer tends to draw a Request for Evidence, you see a flag right away with plain guidance on the fix.
A full audit of the finished application
Before anything is final, Immiva audits the whole application: every required field, consistency across forms, filing window rules, and the requirements specific to your situation. You see what passed and what still needs you.
See everything, then pay
You read your completed application before you pay anything. One price per application, published on the pricing page. No consultation that turns into a retainer, no rush fee, no document review add-on. If USCIS rejects your packet because we prepared a form wrong, we refund the Immiva fee.
Download, sign and file
You get your forms as clean, USCIS-ready PDFs, along with instructions for printing, signing and mailing the packet.
- Print single sided and sign in black ink
- Put your documents in the order your checklist shows
- Mail the packet to the filing address on your checklist

An honest answer
Is Immiva right for your case?
Immiva fits if
- The free eligibility check confirms you qualify for your application, before you pay anything
- You are comfortable answering questions online, the way you would file a tax return
- You want to understand your own application rather than sign whatever comes back from a law office
- You would rather put your money toward your new life than toward preparation fees
You find out before you pay
- The free eligibility check runs your situation against the USCIS requirements for your application
- It handles the messy parts too: long trips abroad, marriage-based cards, filing windows, gaps in your history
- Anything that needs attention is named in your report, with what it means and what to do next
- You decide how to proceed with the full picture in front of you, not after you have spent anything
Common questions
Everything else you are probably wondering
Most people finish in a few sittings. Your answers save as you go, so you can stop mid-question and pick up where you left off on any device. There is no deadline and nothing expires.
Yes. You can open live chat inside your application for help with the platform or questions about your filing packet. It's included at no extra cost for everyone preparing an application with Immiva. Support does not include legal advice or representation before USCIS.
No, and we say so plainly. Immiva is software run by Simple Immi LLC, a New Jersey company, not a law firm. We help you prepare your own forms accurately. We do not give legal advice and we do not represent you before USCIS.
Citizenship (N-400), removing conditions on a green card (I-751), family petitions (I-130 and I-130A), adjustment of status (I-485 with I-864), a change of nonimmigrant status to H-4 (I-539), and work permits including H-4 EAD and J-2 EAD. See the pricing page.
Yes. Keeping up with USCIS form editions, fee changes and policy updates is part of the job, so you are never working from an outdated PDF. Filing an expired edition is one of the most common reasons USCIS sends a packet straight back.
We use what you enter to prepare your forms and for nothing else. We never sell your data. The details are in our privacy policy. Read the privacy policy.
If USCIS rejects your packet because of a form preparation error on our side, you get your Immiva fee back. The window and the claim process are published, not buried. Read the guarantee terms.
Start with the free part.
The eligibility check takes about two minutes and costs nothing. If Immiva fits your case you will know, and if it does not, we will say so.
