OnePath puts your U.S. immigration journey back in your own hands — a clear, personalized view built on real government data, updated regularly, and designed around you. Free. No ads. Your data never leaves your device. You deserve to understand your own immigration process — not decode it from scattered government pages or expensive consultations. Whether you're an F-1 student planning OPT, an H-1B applicant facing the new wage-weighted lottery, or a family waiting years for a visa number, OnePath shows you exactly where you stand and what to do next — in the language you're most comfortable in. KNOW WHAT'S ACTUALLY POSSIBLE Tell OnePath your situation — visa type, country of birth, timeline — and see which pathways are truly viable for you right now, not just which ones exist on paper. Every pathway carries a clear Current Viability rating so you can plan with confidence: · High Viability — stable, predictable process · Conditional — viable for the right candidate · Lower / Volatile — significant barriers or policy uncertainty PLAN WITH REAL NUMBERS No guesswork, no rumors. OnePath gives you verified timelines and costs straight from USCIS, the Department of State, and the Department of Labor: · Visa Bulletin priority dates, updated monthly ([Month] 2026) · Processing times for I-130, I-485, I-129, I-765, N-400, and more · Full fee breakdowns, including the March 2026 premium processing increase · H-1B cap season timeline with FY2027 wage-weighted lottery details · PERM labor certification timelines (currently ~17 months) STAY AHEAD OF POLICY CHANGES Immigration rules shift constantly. OnePath watches the changes for you and flags the ones that affect your specific situation — so nothing catches you off guard: · EAD validity reduced to 18 months (Dec 2025) · 540-day auto-extensions eliminated (Oct 2025) · H-1B $100K fee for consular processing cases · Visa Bulletin movement and retrogression risk · Country-specific backlog alerts for India, China, Mexico, and the Philippines FOLLOW YOUR OWN CASE Enter your receipt number and pull your petition's official status straight from USCIS. Supports EAC, LIN, SRC, and other service center cases — your case history, form type, and status updates, all in one place. A PLAN FOR YOUR PATHWAY · Work-Based — H-1B, L-1, and O-1 details with eligibility, pros and cons, required forms with direct links, and an employer cost calculator · Family-Based — immediate relatives, F1–F4 preference categories, wait-time estimates by country, and I-130 filing guidance · Student — F-1 timeline, OPT / STEM OPT tracker, 90-day unemployment counter, and H-1B transition planning · Green Card & Naturalization — the full PWD → PERM → I-140 → I-485 pipeline, plus three naturalization routes (5-Year, 3-Year Marriage, Military Service) with an N-400 checklist STAY IN STATUS, STAY CONFIDENT · OPT unemployment day counter (90-day limit) · Days-outside-the-U.S. tracker · Status expiry alerts with countdown · Personal status health score BUILD YOUR LIFE HERE Practical guidance for after you arrive: getting an SSN, opening a bank account, building credit, finding housing, and understanding your rights. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English · Español · Português · 中文 · Kreyòl ayisyen Multilingual support isn't an afterthought — it's built into every screen, every alert, and every pathway. OnePath is one of the only immigration tools with full Haitian Creole support. DATA YOU CAN TRUST Every data point comes from official government sources — USCIS.gov, Travel.State.gov, the DOL FLAG system, and the Federal Register — and OnePath shows you exactly when each one was last verified. — OnePath is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
