‘My DIY Green Card‘ is ALL ABOUT helping you with practical checklists, downloadable templates, success stories, and clear explanations of what USCIS really looks for. Whether you’re just getting started or putting the final touches on your petition, we’re here to help you do it yourself — and do it right.
Why I Help: My Self-Petition Story
Hi, I’m Charles Kaye, an academic (Policy Scientist, NOT A LAWYER). A few months ago, I petitioned for the EB2-NIW on my own and got approved. No legal fees. Just research, writing, and hours figuring out what USCIS really wants. It was a arduous — but it worked. I want to help you do the same!
When I begun researching about employment based visas, I realized something: there are thousands of talented researchers (especially within the social science field), professionals, and extraordinary individuals who qualify for an EB2-NIW or EB1-A but feel stuck because they can’t afford a lawyer or don’t have access to proven step-by-step guides out there to help them navigate the process. Others have been made to believe that EB2-NIW and EB1-A petitions are reserved or overwhelmingly favor STEM professionals, so there’s no point in trying. It is not surprising that many exceptional social scientists avoid the EB2-NIW and EBA-1 routes because of such misconception. People like you are the reason why I developed this platform.
My mission is simple: break down the petition process into clear, doable steps you can follow yourself — with confidence. I share everything I’ve learned — what works, what doesn’t, and how you can do-it-yourself (DIY) with confidence. If you are confident, like to do things yourself, and like to save money, My DIY Green Card is the right source for you.
