What do you need to find out?

- Private
Green Card Sponsor Income Calculator
See whether your income clears the Affidavit of Support threshold, and what your options are if it falls short.
Handles the lower military threshold, a household member joining on Form I-864A, and the asset rule when income alone does not reach the line.
- 2026 figures
- Assets and joint sponsors
- Private
Green Card Cost Calculator
Add up every filing fee a family green card actually costs, from the I-130 through to the card itself.
Covers both routes, adjusting status inside the U.S. and consular processing abroad, with the online and mailed fees, every dependent, and what an approved fee waiver would actually take off.
- Live USCIS fees
- Both routes

Where to start
Start with what is worrying you.
Every tool here answers one question. Find yours below, then open the tool next to it.
I do not know which form I need
Start with the eligibility checker. It asks what you are trying to do, then names the form and tells you whether you meet its requirements.
Eligibility CheckerI want citizenship, but I travel a lot
Use the N-400 residence calculator. Long trips are the most common reason a naturalization case runs into trouble, and the rules are stricter than most people expect.
N-400 Residence CalculatorI am sponsoring a relative and worried about my income
Use the sponsor income calculator. It gives you the exact figure for your household size and state, and shows the joint-sponsor and asset options if you are under it.
Sponsor Income CalculatorI am waiting for a green card number
Use the Visa Bulletin checker. Enter your priority date and it tells you whether you are current, how your cutoff has moved, and roughly when it might reach you.
Visa Bulletin CheckerI need to know what the whole thing will cost
Use the green card cost calculator. It itemizes every government fee for your route, adjusting status or consular, so you can see the total before you commit to anything.
Green Card Cost Calculator
Why these are free
We would rather you find out now.
- USCIS filing fees are not refundable. File when you are not eligible and that money is gone, along with the months you waited.
- Most of what these tools check is arithmetic. Days between two dates, dollars against a threshold. Nobody should have to pay for that.
- If a tool says you are not ready, that is worth knowing. We show you what would need to change, and when to come back.
Questions
Common questions.
Yes. You do not need an account, a card, or an email address. The calculators run entirely in your browser, so what you type never reaches us. We earn money only if you later decide to prepare a filing with us.
No. Every tool on this page opens straight into the questions. You only create an account if you go on to prepare a filing.
If you do not know which form you need, start with the eligibility checker. If you already know the form, go straight to its tool: the residence calculator for N-400, the income calculator for the Affidavit of Support, the bulletin checker for a green card priority date.
We pull the Visa Bulletin the day the State Department publishes it, every month. The income thresholds come from the current USCIS Form I-864P table. The residence rules follow INA 316(a) and 8 CFR 316.5. Those rules change rarely, and we update them when they do.
No. These are self-screening tools. They tell you where you stand against the published rules, but they cannot weigh everything in your history, and only USCIS or a consular officer decides your case. For advice on your own facts, talk to an immigration attorney.
Your result stays private unless you choose to continue. When you're ready to file, Immiva preparation starts at $99. Each application has its own published price. We review your answers before you submit.
Ready to file the real thing?
Immiva can turn your answers into a ready-to-file packet for a supported USCIS application. Preparation starts at $99, with government filing fees separate. Start with the free eligibility check to see which application fits your situation.
Check your eligibilityThese are self-screening tools, not legal advice. They check what you enter against the published USCIS and U.S. Department of State rules, but they cannot weigh everything in your history, and only USCIS or a consular officer decides your case. For advice on your own case, talk to a qualified immigration attorney.
