COMPARISON
MyCheck vs CitizenPath
CitizenPath is form preparation software: it walks you through a USCIS form, gives you filing instructions for your situation, and offers to print and ship the packet.
These are different jobs, and many people use both. CitizenPath helps you fill the form in; MyCheck starts where filing ends — the receipt number, the waiting, the evidence requests and the appointments.
What CitizenPath does better
- Step-by-step preparation of the actual USCIS forms, which MyCheck does not do at all.
- Filing instructions written for your answers, plus sample cover letters and affidavits.
- Printing and shipping a finished packet.
- A written guarantee against errors in the preparation they sold you.
What MyCheck does better
- Tracking the case after it is filed — CitizenPath does not track case status.
- A checklist of the documents to gather, with reminders before they expire.
- Everything after the receipt: biometrics, evidence requests, interviews.
- One place for the rest of your life, not just this form.
