From marriage to approval, mapped step by step. Built for couples who want to own their journey.

Yes. The memo (PM-602-0199) does not change the law or eliminate adjustment of status. It reminds officers that adjustment is a discretionary benefit, which it has always been, for over 50 years. If you entered the U.S. lawfully, are in a genuine marriage to a U.S. citizen, and have a clean immigration history, the path to your green card is the same as it was before. Marriage to a U.S. citizen remains one of the strongest positive factors in the discretionary analysis.

No. The memo referenced above does not require marriage-based applicants to leave the country. The press release made it sound that way, but the actual memo imposes no such requirement. What changed is the emphasis: officers are applying existing discretionary standards more rigorously. In practice, this means your case needs to clearly demonstrate two things, that your marriage is genuine, and that you didn't enter the U.S. on a temporary visa with a pre-existing plan to stay permanently. Couples with honest timelines and real relationships can demonstrate both.

The memo explicitly carves out dual intent visa categories (H-1B, L-1, K-1, O-1). It states that applying for adjustment of status is not inconsistent with maintaining one of these visas. If you're on a dual intent visa, the heightened "preconceived intent" scrutiny is much less of a concern for you. That scrutiny is primarily directed at applicants who entered on visas that did not permit immigrant intent, such as tourist visas, ESTA, or student visas.

It isn't actually free. The government filing fees for a marriage-based case run well into thousands of dollars, and they're non-refundable. Get the filing wrong and that money, plus months of your time, can be gone. But the fees were never the real risk. The real risk is navigating a discretion system without a map: what comes first, what depends on what, and how your case is read as a whole. The Method isn't more information to add to the pile; it's the attorney-designed structure that organizes it, with checklists, templates, and a roadmap that show you the order and the why.

A lawyer can handle the filing, but representation isn't the same as understanding your own case and you'll still gather the documents and answer the hard questions yourself. The Method gives you the structure underneath all of that: what's being evaluated, in what order, and why. It's the foundation a strong case is built on, irrespective of whether you eventually bring in a lawyer or not.

The Orientation will show you exactly how the Method supports you at each step. You'll always be able to see what comes next.

Yes. Filing sooner, and cleanly, protects you from self-inflicted delays and lost income while you wait. Our one-time fee gives you full access to the entire system, with all updates included and no surprise costs.

Yes — the Method was designed exactly for straightforward cases. Even ‘easy’ applications can get delayed by small errors or missing documents, because the process is full of nuances that are easy to miss when you navigate the process for the first time. Think of it as insurance: you avoid the traps that often derail even simple cases.

The system is built for busy couples. Because the path is already sequenced for you, most complete their packet in 2–3 weekends. The structure is what saves the time. You follow a clear order instead of assembling one from scratch.

USCIS doesn't require you to have a lawyer. The Marriage Immigration Method™ was created by licensed attorneys who lived this process themselves, so you can file with a full understanding of your own case: organized, complete, and clear on every step. If you do choose to involve a lawyer, you'll be the most prepared client they've ever had.
