Marked needs review

Not an agency status. Recorded workspace state only. USCIS, the National Visa Center, the embassy, or the consular officer may request more.

Private content is encrypted on your device. Each requirement links to its source.

Togetherward organizes your case. It does not provide legal advice or check your case with an immigration agency. The case shown here is fictional, and no sign-in is required.

Immigration information ends up everywhere.

A request is in an email. A document is in a download folder. One partner remembers the task. The other remembers the date. Togetherward puts those pieces into one shared case.

One connected case

See how one requirement connects to the rest of the case.

Follow the source, task, document, and case history in one fictional example.

What makes Togetherward different

  • Know who is handling each task

    Each task is assigned to one partner or left clearly unassigned.

  • Check the source for each requirement

    See where the information came from and when it was checked.

  • Encrypt private content before upload

    Files and private notes are encrypted on your device.

Calm status

Most days, the right answer is: nothing to do.

Immigration cases often involve waiting. When no task or deadline is due, Togetherward says so clearly.

Private beta

Join the private beta

We are inviting up to 12 couples. The beta is free, and no payment method is required. Tell us about your case. We review every application ourselves.

Private beta: up to 12 couples

The first cohort of up to 12 couples is open.

Applications are reviewed by hand. If the first cohort is full, new applications join the waitlist.

What beta couples get

  • One shared workspace both partners can see
  • A case map built from your facts, with the source behind each item
  • Documents, dates, tasks, and history in one place
  • Exports and privacy controls that stay yours

We are Joe and Kat. We managed our own U.S. spouse-visa process across emails, files, dates, and notes. We built Togetherward because we wanted one place both partners could trust.

Privacy

What Togetherward can and cannot read

Encrypted on your device
Files and private notes are encrypted on your device before upload. That includes the document's name, its exact file type, and the dates you record about it.
A private workspace for the two of you
A case is scoped to both partners. Nobody joins without an invitation, and both of you can see who has access.
Never sold, never AI-training material
We do not sell case data, and we do not use protected content to train AI models.

Togetherward can still read the limited account and case information needed to run the service: who is in the workspace, task and timeline titles, dates, billing records, and the storage identifiers, sizes and coarse file family needed to hand an encrypted file back to you.

Today, you choose what to export and send it to your lawyer yourself. Limited, in-app lawyer access is still in development.

Frequently asked

How does Togetherward know which items to show?
You enter basic facts about your case, such as the visa route and your current stage. Togetherward uses those answers to show matching requirements. Each requirement shows its official source and why it appears, so you can check it rather than trust it.
Can Togetherward read our documents and private notes?
Not when encryption is enabled. Files and private notes are encrypted on your device, including the document name, its exact file type, and the dates you record about it. Togetherward can read only the limited account and case information needed to run the service. The security page lists the exact boundary.
Does Togetherward give legal advice?
No. Togetherward organizes information and links to official sources. It never decides whether you are eligible, never says a case is complete, and never predicts approval or timing. Legal judgment belongs with a licensed attorney.
How do we share information with a lawyer?
Today, you choose what to export and send it to your lawyer yourself. Limited, in-app lawyer access is still in development.
