Getting started

Is this legal advice?

No. WhyFill is not a law firm, and nothing on this site is legal advice. Here is what that means in practice.

What we do

We explain what a field means in plain language, and we put the answers you give us into the official form. That is document preparation, not legal advice.

What we never do

  • We never tell you which form to file.
  • We never say whether you qualify for anything.
  • We never tell you what answer to give.
  • We never promise an outcome or a faster decision.

When to talk to a lawyer

Talk to a licensed attorney if your situation has any history: a past denial, a deportation order, a criminal record, an overstay, or anything you are unsure how to describe. The cost of one consultation is small next to a filing gone wrong.

For immigration matters, a licensed attorney or an accredited representative can advise you. We cannot, and we will not pretend to.
