Green card for refugees

Common questions

The most common questions about humanitarian.

Are humanitarian petitions really free?

Yes. Qualifying humanitarian cases are built free — not a discount and not a trial. USCIS filing fees go to the government, never to us, and your check shows exactly what applies to your case.

Who qualifies for a humanitarian petition?

These paths cover VAWA, T and U visa, asylee green card, and special immigrant juvenile cases. Answer a few simple questions in the free check and it tells you whether your situation fits one of them.

Is it safe to put my information here?

Your data is encrypted end to end, and we never share it with USCIS or anyone else — you decide when and how to file. You can delete your account and data at any time.

What does the free check show for a protection case?

It shows what a case like yours usually needs. A protection case does not start from the check itself — you see the picture first, and nothing begins until you decide.

Do I need a lawyer for a humanitarian case?

welcomeUSA is self-help software, not a law firm, and no result is guaranteed. If your case needs legal advice, we can connect you with an independent licensed immigration attorney — and qualifying humanitarian petitions are still built free.
