Document planning tool

Check whether your required file is ready to move

Use the live country checklists to rate each required file as ready, in progress, not started, or help needed. The score is about document preparation only, not visa approval.

This screen is a planning aid. It does not replace legal advice, consular discretion, or country-specific filing review.

What this tool does

Does this tool predict visa approval?

No. It scores file preparation against the published checklist items for each live country route.

Are optional items included in the score?

No. Version one scores required checklist items first. Conditional or optional items are shown separately so they cannot outweigh missing required files.

When should I book a consultation from here?

Use the booking handoff when a required file needs help, when translation or legalization feels unclear, or when you want an expert review before filing.
