Common questions

Where should I start with US immigration as an Indian?

Start with your current situation. If you're on H1B, begin with the H1B guide. If you're waiting on a green card, start with the green card process and your priority date. If you just received a USCIS letter, use the notice decoder. Each path above links to the right tool or guide.

What is the difference between this hub and the USCIS hub?

This immigration hub organizes everything by your situation — H1B, green card, job change, travel — and points to the right tool. The USCIS hub at /uscis goes deeper on USCIS itself: case status messages, receipt numbers, forms, and processing times.

Are these immigration tools free?

Yes. Every tool linked here is free and runs in your browser. We don't ask for personal case details — the tools work from the form type, status, or dates you choose. NRItoUSA is not USCIS and does not provide legal advice.
