OnePath - Immigration Guide

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.
