For mixed-status families, DACA recipients & green card waiters

Navigate U.S. Immigration Without the $10,000 Panic Bill

Plain-English checklists and guides — so you know what to gather, what to file, and what to ask a lawyer. Built for real families, not law firms.

You're not failing. The system is confusing on purpose.

More than 4 million U.S. families are mixed-status (NPR, 2025).

DACA renewals that once took weeks now often take months (NILC, 2026).

Family green card petitions can stretch years — and one missing document can trigger an RFE.

“Hope is the counter to fear — but hope needs a plan.”

Three pressures families tell us about

Mixed-status fear

4M+ households. Build emergency plans for children, school pickup, and medical consent — before you need them.

DACA limbo

File 150–120 days early. Know the renewal window so a stalled case doesn't create a work-permit gap.

Green card wait

Family petitions can stretch years. Strong evidence prep beats simply waiting and hoping.
