Built by Immigrants, For Immigrants
Pathway2US provides free tools to help applicants access and interpret USCIS case data with clarity and confidence.
Why this exists
I built this because
the waiting was harder than the filing
Submitting the application feels like the finish line—until you realize it’s only the start. The real work begins only after then: the waiting, the uncertainty, the repetitive status checks, and the exhausting feeling that this may never end...
Builder Note From
F(x), actively checking case updates for her family
I remember the “we finally submitted” relief… and how fast it turned into a new routine: refresh the USCIS status page, scan for changes, Google every unfamiliar phrase, and wonder if I missed an update.
When I discovered there was richer case data behind the scenes, the next rabbit hole was checking those API pages every couple of hours—then spending even more time online trying to decode what the event codes actually meant.
Pathway2US is the set of tools I wish I had from day one. So I built it—and I hope it brings a little more clarity and calm to the waiting for others like me.
