How it works
Three steps to a clear answer
No paperwork, no jargon. Just enter a date and see your path.
-
1
Enter your green-card date
Tell Green to Gold when you became a permanent resident — and whether you're married to a U.S. citizen.
-
2
See your earliest filing date
We apply the 5-year (or 3-year) rule minus the 90-day early-filing window and show the exact day you can file Form N-400.
-
3
Add trips and stay eligible
Log travel as you go. We count your physical-presence days and warn you before a trip risks breaking continuous residence.
Features
Everything you need to plan with confidence
Every feature is free for everyone — nothing is locked behind a paywall.
Physical-presence counter
Automatically counts your days in the U.S. against the 913 / 548-day requirement, plus the 3-month state-residency rule.
Trip risk alerts
Drop in a trip and we flag the danger zone before you book — so a long trip never quietly resets your continuous-residence clock.
Unlimited family profiles
Track your spouse, kids, and relatives on one account — each with their own dates, trips, and timeline.
N-400-ready export
Export a clean travel history formatted for Form N-400 — ready to file with your application and bring to your interview.
Three languages
Use Green to Gold in English, Spanish, or Portuguese — switch any time in settings.
Built to take the worry out of the wait.
Becoming a citizen is one of the biggest milestones of your life — and the rules around dates, trips, and presence can be stressful to get right. Green to Gold keeps the math honest and the answer clear, so you can plan travel, set your filing date, and walk into your interview prepared. Free, for everyone on this journey.
Free, and staying that way
There's no premium tier and nothing to unlock — the whole app is free. If it helped you on your path to citizenship, you can leave an optional “buy me a coffee” tip in the app. Totally optional, and it never unlocks anything.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is Green to Gold really free?
Yes — completely. Every feature is free for everyone, with no ads and no paid tier. The only money option is an optional in-app tip if you'd like to support development, and it unlocks nothing.
Is this legal advice?
No. Green to Gold is an informational planning tool that estimates dates from publicly available USCIS rules. It is not legal advice. For decisions about your case, verify with USCIS or a licensed immigration attorney.
How is my earliest filing date calculated?
We apply the 5-year permanent-residence rule — or the 3-year rule if you're married to and living with a U.S. citizen — then subtract the 90-day early-filing window. We also check physical presence (913 or 548 days) and the 3-month state-residency requirement.
What about trips and continuous residence?
Log each trip and Green to Gold counts your days outside the U.S. and flags trips that approach or cross the limits that can break continuous residence — before they affect your eligibility.
Is my information private?
Your profile and trips are yours. We don't sell your data, and the app works for planning without sharing your details with third parties. See the in-app privacy information for specifics.
Which languages are supported?
English, Spanish, and Portuguese. You can switch languages any time from settings.
