Work FAQs
Can I get a work green card without an employer?
Yes — the EB-2 national interest waiver is an employment-based green card with no employer needed, one of the self-petition paths. The free check shows what a case like yours involves.
Does my employer have to file for me?
It depends on the petition. The self-petition paths need no employer. Petitions like the H-1B or L-1 are submitted by an employer, so they are not sold as self-help drafts here — each of those pages explains the path.
Can investors get a visa or green card?
There are two routes: the E-2 treaty investor visa (a visa, not a green card) and the EB-5 investor green card, which involves an $800,000 investment and needs an immigration lawyer. Each page explains the path.
What are permits and travel documents?
Shorter filings, often filed while a case is pending — work permits and travel documents have their own pages, and the free check shows whether your case includes one.
I’m a Canadian or Mexican professional — is there a path for me?
The TN category is for USMCA professionals from Canada and Mexico. It is filed by the employer, so it is not sold as a self-help draft — its page explains the path.

Green card FAQs
Is my status gone if my green card expires?
No — the card is proof, not the status itself. An expired card still needs replacing for work and travel, and Form I-90 is the application that does it. The free check shows what your renewal needs.
What is a re-entry permit?
A travel document from Form I-131 that protects a green card during long trips abroad, generally for up to two years. You must be in the U.S. when you file, and its page explains the path.
What is an I-94, and why would I replace it?
The I-94 is your arrival record, and employers and USCIS forms ask for it. Most recent arrivals can print theirs from the CBP website — if yours is lost or was never issued, Form I-102 replaces it.
