The free way to prepare your marriage-based green card

Answer simple questions, upload documents, and download ready-to-file USCIS forms. No hidden fees.

100% free • No hidden fees • Built by immigrants

Made by an immigrant

I'm Peter, co-founder of Wanderlog and a green card holder since 2024. I moved to the United States in 2010 and went through the marriage-based green card process myself — relying on forums, guides, and a lot of patience. I came away convinced it could be far simpler.

So I built OpenGreenCard: the step-by-step guide I wish I'd had.

Completely free: to help immigrants, not to profit

OpenGreenCard is free during our beta. I built it because I went through the green card process myself and know how expensive it can get. There are no hidden fees, no upsells, and no credit card required.

We may add paid features in the future, but right now everything is free.
