What documents do I need to prepare my immigration application?
The documents you need to prepare for your immigration application depend on the specific visa or immigration path you are pursuing. ImmigrationDoc.ai offers detailed checklists by visa type, such as marriage-based green cards, fiancé(e) visas, employment-based green cards, citizenship applications, work permits, and more. Each checklist includes required and supporting documents tailored to that category, for example:
- Proof of identity and relationship documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates, and divorce decrees if applicable
- Evidence of lawful status, such as I-94 records or prior approval notices
- Financial documents like tax returns, pay stubs, or affidavits of support
- Medical examination forms (Form I-693) with vaccination records
- Employment eligibility evidence for work permits (Form I-765)
We recommend selecting your visa or immigration path on our platform to view the complete, specific checklist of documents needed. Additionally, you can scan your documents free with our AI-powered tool to catch errors like missing pages, wrong dates, or name mismatches before filing. This helps ensure your application is complete and reduces the risk of Requests for Evidence (RFEs).
Please note that ImmigrationDoc.ai provides general guidance and document organization assistance but does not offer legal advice. For legal questions or complex cases, consulting a licensed immigration attorney is advised.
