Sponsor your family with every step in plain sight.
A green card case is rarely one form. It is a petition, an affidavit of support, evidence, filing fees, and an interview, each with its own office and its own deadline. PetitionKit turns that into one clear, self-guided path you prepare yourself, in plain language.
One case, three stages, and a different office deciding each one.
Approving the petition does not grant a green card, and meeting the income rule is its own review. Here is how a family case actually stacks up, and who signs off at each stage.
Prove the relationship
Form I-130 asks USCIS to recognize a qualifying family relationship. We map the evidence it expects, from marriage and birth records to proof of your own status, so the petition stands on its own.
Meet the income rule
The Form I-864 Affidavit of Support asks the sponsor to show enough income, or a joint sponsor to step in. We walk the current threshold logic and the documents that back it, and for many categories a visa number has to be current first.
The green card step
Either consular processing abroad through the National Visa Center, or Form I-485 adjustment of status inside the US, each ending in an interview. We prepare you for the questions and the checklist an officer works from.
Everything to prepare your own petition, in one place.
Answer a short set of questions about who you are sponsoring and where you are in the process. PetitionKit points you to the right USCIS forms, the evidence behind them, and the fees and timelines to expect, so you can move forward with confidence instead of guesswork.

Every form matched to its evidence, in the order an officer reads it.
The evidence checklist walks the same supporting documents a USCIS officer looks for, so your package is complete and consistent before it ever reaches a mailroom.
Built for the people doing this themselves.
We explain USCIS forms and rules in everyday words, and offer guidance in more than one language, so you understand every step before you sign it.
Every fee, form, and timeline points back to the official USCIS or State Department source, so you can confirm it yourself in a click rather than take our word for it.
