Know your green card readiness — and the exact steps to get there — before hiring an attorney.
Most people exploring their options don't know which USCIS criteria they actually satisfy. Calibra scores your profile against the real criteria for EB-1A, O-1A and EB-2 NIW — then shows precisely what's met, what's missing, and what to do next.

A score alone doesn't get you a green card. Knowing what to fix does.
Attorneys charge for consultations before telling you if you're ready. Forums give contradictory opinions. Meanwhile, most strong candidates are only two or three criteria away from a confident filing — they just don't know which ones, or what evidence USCIS actually expects.
How it works
From "am I eligible?" to a plan you can act on.
Three steps. The first one is free.
Step 1
Answer structured questions
About your work, recognition, publications, roles and impact. Plain English questions designed around what USCIS officers actually look for.
Step 2
Get scored against real criteria
A 0–100 readiness score for each pathway, weighted the way adjudications actually weigh evidence — not a generic quiz result.
Step 3
Follow your roadmap
Criterion by criterion: what's met, what's partial, what's missing — and the specific step that closes each gap.
Three pathways, one assessment
Your green card options, scored side by side.
Each pathway has its own criteria and its own odds. See where your profile is strongest today — before committing months and legal fees to the wrong route.

Not just a number. A roadmap.
Knowing you scored 61 is interesting. Knowing that two independent press features and a documented reviewer role would move you into strong-filing territory — that's actionable. The full report turns every weak criterion into a task list.

Questions
Before you start
No. Calibra is an informational readiness indicator built on years of real immigration case experience. It shows how close or far you are from a strong filing — it is not legal advice and has no bearing on any immigration outcome. Always consult a licensed attorney before filing.
Most people finish in under 15 minutes. You answer structured questions about your work, recognition and evidence — no documents are required to get your score.
Yes — free, with no credit card required. You get your readiness score and pathway overview. Pro and Ultimate are one-time payments, not subscriptions.
That's exactly what the roadmap is for. A low score with a clear list of gaps and concrete steps is far more useful than a guess. Many profiles move from weak to strong in 6–18 months by closing two or three specific criteria.
You don't have to decide up front. The assessment scores your profile against each pathway's own criteria, so you can see where you're strongest today and which route offers the shortest distance to filing.
