How can a home appraisal improve my immigration application status?

There are multiple programs within the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency which may consider an appraisal in their application process. An appraisal that reflects the true equity in your home can increase the likelihood of passing a financial status or public charge review.

A shortfall in an income requirement can typically be made up by “significant” assets that can be converted to cash within 1 year. A real estate appraisal can help bridge the divide between an applicant's relatively low provable income figure and an accurate representation of the applicant's true financial health.
