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.

Conditional or optional items

Not scored

These items stay visible for planning, but they do not raise the score above missing required files.

Consular-to-AIMA handoff plan

A short planning note that keeps your consular file, travel timing, accommodation, and after-arrival AIMA steps consistent.

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.
