Your green card is anendeavor.Build the case for it.
Greendeavor turns your record into a defensible EB-2 NIW self-petition — the work a lawyer charges $10,000 for, systematized for about $299. Start with a free, honest readiness score against the Dhanasar framework.
No account required. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Brilliant at your work.
Lost in the paperwork.
You published the papers. You built the tool a thousand labs now depend on. You moved across the world to do work that matters. Then the immigration system asks you to prove it — in a legal language you were never taught, on a form that reduces a decade of research to three unforgiving prongs.
An attorney will do it for you, competently, for $8,000–$12,000 and months of back-and-forth. Most researchers can’t justify that. So they wait, or they guess, or they self-file blind. Greendeavor is the third option: the attorney’s workflow, in your hands.
Three steps from profile to petition.
Map your record
Enter what you know — degrees, papers, citations, grants, adoption. The engine scores all three Dhanasar prongs instantly, in your browser.
See the gaps
Get a prioritized, honest list of what's thin and the concrete action to close each one. No inflated promises — just what a strong case needs.
Assemble the petition
Turn strengths into a drafted narrative and a fully indexed exhibit set — the parts a lawyer bills $10,000 for, ready to file.
Start with the truth, free.
Two working tools, no account, nothing uploaded. They’re the front door to the whole workflow.
NIW Readiness Check
A deterministic Dhanasar 3-prong score from your real profile — with a prioritized, honest gap report. Readiness, never approval odds.
FICA Recovery Estimator
J-1 and F-1 researchers are often owed back Social Security and Medicare tax. Estimate the range you may recover under IRC §3121(b)(19).
Evidence is the aesthetic.
Dhanasar-native
Honest by design
Private by default
Evidence, assembled
Built by someone who filed it.
“I’m a researcher, not a lawyer. When I faced my own NIW, I reverse-engineered the Dhanasar framework into a checklist, then a scorer, then a workflow. Greendeavor is that system — so the next researcher doesn’t have to choose between $10,000 and guessing.”
One case. Not one salary.

Straight answers.
Is Greendeavor a law firm?
No. Greendeavor is a document-preparation and information service, not a law firm, and it does not provide legal advice. We help you organize your evidence and draft your materials; we never represent you before USCIS.
What is the EB-2 NIW?
The National Interest Waiver lets a qualified professional self-petition for a US green card without an employer sponsor or labor certification, if their proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance. Eligibility is assessed under the three-prong Matter of Dhanasar framework.
How can this cost about $299 when attorneys charge $10,000?
Most of a NIW petition is structured, repeatable work: mapping your record to the three prongs, assembling exhibits, and drafting a narrative. We systematize that workflow so you do the parts only you can do, and we handle the scaffolding.
Does the Readiness Check predict whether I'll be approved?
No, and it never will. It scores readiness against the public Dhanasar framework and shows where your case is thin. It is a transparent rules engine, not a predictor of any USCIS decision.
Is my data private?
The free Readiness Check and FICA Estimator run entirely in your browser. Nothing leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to email yourself a report or create an account.
What is the FICA Estimator?
Many J-1 and F-1 researchers have Social Security and Medicare (FICA) taxes withheld that they were exempt from under IRC §3121(b)(19). The estimator gives a plausible range of what may have been wrongly withheld, and the path to recover it. It is not tax advice.
