Sunder turns complex U.S. immigration questions into a living roadmap — the routes that may be open to you, what each asks for, and the dates ahead. For students, professionals, founders, and families.
It starts with your story
Describe your goal, your status, and your timeline in plain words. Sunder builds an understanding of your case and turns it into a connected map of routes — surfacing what most people never know to ask.
What I've understood
Sunder is an information tool, not a law firm — this is information, not legal advice.
Possible pathways
Each route carries its own requirements, its own timing, and somewhere it leads. Sunder checks them against the facts you give it — what opens, what is ruled out, and what you could build toward — and keeps that current as those facts change.
Post-completion work permit
The standard first step for an F-1 graduate: 12 months of work authorization to start working and begin building an immigration record.

A 24-month extension for STEM degrees — added time that supports multiple H-1B registration cycles and maturing a green-card case.
See it in the productSelf-petition green card
A self-petition green card — no employer, no labor certification. It asks for work of national importance, evidence you are well placed to carry it out, and a case that waiving the job offer serves the U.S.
See it in the productExtraordinary-ability work visa
A work visa for people with national recognition, built on the same evidence record as a NIW — a route worth planning alongside it.

Where the path leads
Foresight
For each route ahead, Sunder shows what to expect, what it asks for, and what to watch — so nothing arrives as a surprise.
What to expect
Sunder holds the petition already granted to you on file and watches the Visa Bulletin for your category and your country of birth, so the month the queue moves is a thing you are told rather than a thing you check.
What to expect
Sunder tracks the evidence record this route rests on and what is still missing from it, so the case is built over time rather than assembled in a rush at the end.
What to expect
The file you build for a self-petition is the file this route reads from, so Sunder keeps the same record working across both — and shows plainly where it already reaches and where it does not.
Risk radar
Once your case is active, Sunder watches it for filing windows, expirations, and missing facts — and tells you early, while you can still act. Calm signal, not alarm.

Sunder is an information tool, not a law firm. Ask it about any route, requirement, or deadline — then export a clean case summary and send it to the attorney of your choice.
Question any route or deadline and get a calm, specific planning answer grounded in the facts you gave it — and a plain "I don't know" when the answer isn't grounded.
Routes, strategy, deadlines, and documents in one clean record — save it or send it to your attorney.
"An EB-2 NIW case rests on a documented record of national impact, and that record takes time to build. Starting the evidence file early is a useful step to review."
