About

Petition Ledger is an independent planning reference for people trying to understand U.S. immigration costs. It separates government charges from professional services and supporting expenses so readers can ask better questions before paying.

Our worksheets use user-entered information and clearly labeled arithmetic examples. We do not publish a price ranking of lawyers, sell representation, assess eligibility, prepare applications or promise results. We do not claim to be a law firm or a government agency. No licensed legal review is claimed.

The guides focus on the practical decisions around an engagement: defining the work, organizing documents, checking credentials, preserving receipts and finding the responsible official source. They cannot address every exception or replace a lawyer’s assessment of a personal immigration history. A low total is not evidence that a filing strategy is suitable.

For changing government requirements, use the agency’s own instructions before paying. Editorial drafts are AI-assisted; official pages support the factual statements identified in the source notes. Images are illustrations and do not depict actual client files or government documents.

How this site is made

Petition Ledger is an AI-assisted educational project, not a law firm or government agency. It does not assess eligibility, prepare filings, collect leads or sell representation. No professional legal review is claimed. Government fee amounts must be verified directly before payment. Advertising is disabled. Publisher identity and a real public contact channel remain unresolved.
