We offer a full refund within 30 days of purchase, no questions asked. You are also covered by our Denial Protection Guarantee: if USCIS denies your application, we will refund your $99 service fee in full.
See full refund policy →Green Card Genius is software — there's no human review of your application. You review your completed packet yourself before filing. Our software checks your answers for common errors as you go, but you are the legal preparer and are responsible for the final review.
As you answer questions, the software validates your inputs and checks for inconsistencies. It guides you through each required field and flags missing or mismatched information so you can correct it before your packet is generated.
