Open Borders is a free immigration guide written by an immigration attorney. Answer plain-language questions about your situation and read authored information about the paths that may apply to you — family-based green cards, asylum, cancellation of removal, waivers, TPS, DACA, U and T visas, naturalization and more. No account, no ads, no tracking. GUIDED REVIEW • Start from the beginning or use Quick Start to record facts you already know. • The guide asks only for the context it needs and explains each answer in plain language. • Focused tools for Family-Based Options and Removal Relief when you want one topic at a time. • Case Snapshot shows your progress; Case Notes collects what matters. Export your notes as a PDF and share them with an attorney. IMMIGRATION COURT INSIGHTS • How every sitting immigration judge and court has decided cases since 2021, from the government's own records: asylum grant rates, bond outcomes, relief by type, time to decision, and appeals. • A map of who appointed each state's judges, the Board of Immigration Appeals roster, and notable numbers across the system. • Past decisions, not predictions — and never a tool for choosing a judge. PROCESSING TIMES • Current USCIS processing times by form and office, with a personalized estimate for a pending case. • The State Department's Visa Bulletin, read as a waiting line: which filing dates are being decided now, and how far the line moved in the last year. • Department of Labor queues for employment-based cases. ALERTS AND DISPATCH • Firm-authored alerts when a rule, fee or court decision changes what you should do — with who is affected and what to do next. • A curated archive of reporting, broadcasts, public records and commentary on immigration law, civil rights and Montana's immigration history. • An emergency guide for families after an ICE detention in Montana. WHEN YOU WANT A LAWYER • Schedule a phone or video consultation with the attorney who wrote the guide, from inside the app. • Clear flat fees, with monthly payment options, for the services the firm offers. ENGLISH AND SPANISH • The guide, the tools and the alerts are available in both languages, with authored Spanish — not machine translation. • Read Aloud, text scaling and other accessibility support.
