Immigrant Ally is a free, independent resource that explains U.S. immigration law in plain language. We translate dense federal rules — from your rights during an ICE encounter to the 40+ green card categories and the path to citizenship — into clear, practical guidance anyone can act on, in English, Spanish, and Russian.

Every page is written and maintained by the Immigrant Ally editorial team and checked against official guidance from USCIS, the Department of Homeland Security, and ICE. We summarize and organize that guidance, then add plain-language explanations, step-by-step checklists, and interactive tools so you can quickly find what applies to your situation.

Immigration law changes often, and this site is reviewed regularly to stay current. The information here is educational, not legal advice — for decisions about your specific case, consult a licensed immigration attorney. Use the tools below to get started, or search the whole site at any time.
