A 5-minute questionnaire, a personalized report with your pathway, scores, strengths, and next steps. Delivered to your inbox in minutes.
Over the past few weeks, we've published detailed guides on every part of the U.S. green card process for skilled professionals. How the EB-2 NIW works. The requirements. The costs. The timelines. The approval rates. The legal framework.
All useful. But every one of those guides ends at the same point: whether any of it applies to you specifically.
That's not a question another article can answer. It requires looking at your actual background, your actual credentials, and scoring them against the actual criteria that USCIS uses to decide these cases.
So we built a tool that does exactly that. It's free, it takes about five minutes, and it delivers a personalized eligibility report to your inbox. Not a generic "you might qualify" message. A proper report with scores, pathway analysis, identified strengths, and specific recommendations for your profile.
Go straight to the assessment if you're ready. Keep reading if you want to know what you'll get back.
This is the part that matters. You're not signing up for a mailing list. You're not requesting a callback. You submit real information about your professional background and you get back a real report. Here's what it contains:
Your recommended pathway. The report tells you whether EB-2 NIW, EB-1A, or both are realistic for your profile. These two categories have different evidence bars, and the report identifies which one your background is best positioned for.
Criterion-by-criterion scores. USCIS doesn't evaluate petitions as a whole. They assess specific criteria: education, publications, citations, professional recognition, awards, original contributions, and more. Your report scores you on each one individually, so you see exactly where your profile is strong and exactly where there are gaps.
Your key strengths. The report calls out the parts of your background that carry the most weight for a petition. These are the things you'd lead with. If you've been underselling your own qualifications (most people do), this section tends to be an eye-opener.
Targeted next steps. Based on your specific scores and gaps, the report gives you actionable recommendations. Not "get more experience." Specific things: what type of evidence to gather, what documentation to formalise, what would move the needle most for your particular case.
This is the kind of analysis that would normally require sitting down with an immigration professional, walking through your entire CV, and paying for their time. Here, you fill out a questionnaire and the report lands in your inbox within minutes.
Step 1: Fill out the questionnaire. It covers your education, field of work, publications, patents, awards, professional recognition, leadership roles, and career achievements. You can upload your CV to speed things up. The whole thing takes about five minutes.
Step 2: Submit. Your profile is scored against the criteria USCIS uses to adjudicate EB-2 NIW and EB-1A petitions, including the Dhanasar framework for NIW cases.
Step 3: Check your inbox. Your report is delivered as a PDF to the email address you provided. Open it, read through your scores and recommendations, and decide what to do with it.
No account to create. No credit card. No phone call. No "schedule a consultation to unlock your results." You get the full report, no strings.
The report is yours. You can take it to any immigration attorney for a second opinion, use it to plan your own filing, or bring it to BaseLeaf if you want help with the petition. Nobody will chase you either way.

Take the Free AssessmentFair question. Here's the honest answer.
Most people who are curious about self-petition green cards never take the first step. They read articles, they think about it, they wonder if they'd qualify, and then they do nothing. Not because they're not interested, but because there's no low-friction way to get a real answer.
The traditional route is to book a consultation with an immigration attorney. That means finding one, scheduling around their availability, preparing your documents, and paying for the session. For someone who's just exploring, who isn't even sure they have a case worth pursuing, that's a lot of commitment before you know anything.
So people stay stuck in the reading-and-wondering phase. Indefinitely.
This tool exists to break that cycle. It gives you the initial clarity you need to make an informed decision, without asking you to commit time or money before you have any information to act on.
Some people get their report and realise they have a strong case they never knew about. Some discover they're close but need to build in a few areas. Some learn that now isn't the right time. All of those are genuinely useful outcomes, and all of them are better than wondering.
BaseLeaf offers petition preparation services for people who want to move forward after their assessment. That's the business model. But the report stands on its own. Plenty of people take it, get what they need, and go their own way. That's completely fine.
The assessment is live at baseleaf.co/evaluate.
