Fictional sample case · Demo mode

Couple, dates, documents, tasks, status and sources are illustrative only — not a real case and not legal guidance.

A shared spouse-visa case, the way two people actually live it

Folders hold files and chat threads hold messages. Neither holds a case. This sample does: one recorded CR-1/IR-1 spouse visa case both partners can act on.

Choose the couple’s current moment

Four fixed fictional samples. Nothing is saved and nothing describes you.

Case Control

What this couple actually knows right now

Dana Whitfield is the U.S. citizen petitioner and sponsor. Tomás Herrera is the foreign-national spouse beneficiary, currently in Colombia. Journey recorded as CR-1/IR-1 spouse visa. Sample date: 12 March 2026.

In this journey the U.S. citizen is the petitioner and sponsor, and the spouse abroad is the beneficiary. This is the same read-only Case Control view the signed-in app renders, running on fictional recorded data.

Recorded state: Actions recorded as due· stage: Preparing civil documentsOrganised by Togetherward· derived label

2 open actions with a recorded owner, 1 with no owner recorded.

This label is derived from the recorded tasks, dates and stage below — the same values the signed-in app projects. It is not a status from any agency.

What the recorded-state labels mean

Each label below is derived from recorded tasks, dates and stage only. The attribute values are what the chip carries in the page, so what you read and what is recorded stay the same thing.

  • Past-due actions recorded

    At least one action has a due date the couple recorded that is earlier than the sample date.

    data-demo-recorded-state="past-due-recorded" · data-demo-recorded-calm="false"

  • Actions recorded as dueshown in this sample

    Open actions are recorded — with or without an owner — and none are past a recorded due date.

    data-demo-recorded-state="actions-recorded" · data-demo-recorded-calm="false"

  • No actions recorded as due

    No open actions are recorded. Calm means nothing is recorded as due here — not that a case is complete or that an agency is acting.

    data-demo-recorded-state="no-actions-recorded" · data-demo-recorded-calm="true"

Calm describes this workspace record only. Togetherward does not check case status with any agency.

Follow one thread: Police certificates for the beneficiary

The same thread runs through all four surfaces below — the requirement in the Compass, the owned task it created, the document linked to it, and the journal entry recording the change. Items on the thread are marked “Same thread”.

Evidence and source reasoning

What we know, and what is only illustrative

The same three tags appear beside every item on the four surfaces below, so you can always tell an official requirement from this fictional couple’s own entries.

  • From an official sourceDescribed by a named government source. Togetherward summarises it and links out; it is not legal advice.
  • Recorded by this coupleEntered by the two people in the workspace. In this sample every one of these facts is fictional.
  • Organised by TogetherwardDerived from the two kinds above — labels, groupings and matching. It never judges whether anything is sufficient.

    • Evidence the marriage is bona fide

What is illustrative in this situation(11 fictional entries)

  • Tasks, owners and due dates(4)

    4 tasks with the owner and any due date the couple recorded.

  • Document metadata(3)

What Togetherward organises

  • The recorded-state label

    Computed from the recorded tasks and dates above. It reports what is recorded, not what is required.

  • Requirement matching

    Each of the 3 requirements is matched to recorded facts, with its source shown.

  • Appointment checklist progress

    No checklist is derived in this situation.

Recorded facts only. USCIS, the National Visa Center, the embassy, or the consular officer may request more.

Case Compass

Why each item is on their list

Tasks carry an owner and, when one was recorded, a due date. Ticking a box here only changes this sample in your browser — and you will see Case Control above change with it.

Fictional sample state: Preparing documents

Nobody here is real and nothing is live. The sample clock is fixed at 12 March 2026, so every date below stays the same on each visit.

Recorded in this sample

  • Recorded stage: Preparing civil documents
  • 4 tasks with an owner and status — 3 still open
  • 3 documents with workspace metadata only — file names and states the couple set, never a verdict on the file
  • 1 date the couple entered themselves
  • 3 activity entries showing who changed what, and when
  • 3 requirements matched to this fictional couple's answers, each with an illustrative source example

Not recorded, and not claimed

  • An interview or appointment — none has been entered in this sample state
  • Any government case status — nothing here is read from USCIS, the National Visa Center, or an embassy system
  • Live processing times, fees, form editions, or appointment availability — the source examples are illustrative, not a live lookup
  • Whether anything is complete, sufficient, or likely to succeed — Togetherward organizes what a couple records and does not judge a case
  • Legal advice or an attorney's review of this fictional case
