Got a letter from USCIS, ICE, DHS, EOIR, CBP, or immigration court? CartaLuma helps you understand what it says, which date matters, and what usually comes next, in your own language.

An honest note about limits. CartaLuma explains documents, it does not predict outcomes. When an explanation is uncertain, the app tells you so and points you back to your original notice.
Please note: CartaLuma is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. It does not replace an immigration attorney or accredited representative. For advice about your specific situation, consult qualified legal help. CartaLuma does not connect to USCIS systems and never asks for your USCIS login credentials. You can save your own receipt numbers and check them yourself on the official USCIS website. CartaLuma is not affiliated with USCIS, ICE, DHS, EOIR, CBP, the Department of State, or any government agency.
