Planning tips
- Start with your goal, not a specific visa — the right pathway depends on your situation.
- Check processing times early — some routes take months and affect your planning window.
- Gather documents before applying — missing paperwork is the most common cause of delays.
- Verify official sources — rules change often; always cross-check with government websites.
- Consider your timeline — some situations allow bridging from one status to another.
