Built for F-1, OPT, H-1B, and everything after

Every morning, know exactly what changed for you

HelloStamped reads USCIS updates, policy changes, and the community’s threads overnight — then sends you a two-minute brief on the five things that actually touch your visa, your money, and your plans. No forums to dig through. No guessing which post is real.

Get startedShow me today’s brief

Free for individuals. Setting up your brief takes about 90 seconds.

Every day at 7am

Your brief, five things, two minutes

Same five block types, every day, so you learn to scan it fast.

  1. Important today

    The rule change that touches your status

    Filed straight from the Federal Register and USCIS policy manual — flagged only when it affects your visa stage.

  2. Community trending

    What people at your stage are seeing right now

    Processing times, RFE patterns, real receipt numbers — summarized from the threads worth reading.

  3. Avoid this

    The scam or mistake making the rounds this week

    Fake consultancies, filing-fee scams, bad advice — named specifically, not vaguely.

  4. Save money

    A verified deal worth your time

    Bank bonuses, no-SSN-wait cards, remittance rates — checked before we show it to you.

  5. Your checklist

    What has a deadline this week

    Driver's licence renewals, OPT windows, I-983 signatures — the dates that are actually yours.

The community

Answers from people who filed the same form last month

Every answer is labelled official, community, or expert — never blended, never guessed at. Trusted contributors earn reputation for answers that actually held up.

  • OfficialGovernment rules and announcements, with the date they took effect.
  • CommunityWhat members went through themselves, in their own words.
  • ExpertProfessional guidance, marked as opinion rather than rule.

Invitations

Hosting something? Send an invitation guests actually open.

Diwali, a housewarming, a first birthday, a sangeet — designs made for the occasion, not a Western template with a diya added to it.

Five occasions laid out on one table: a folded silk sari for a wedding, a lit diya and marigolds for Diwali, a slice of birthday cake, brass keys for a new home, and a gold graduation ribbon.

129 occasions have designs of their own, from a griha pravesh to a green card party.

  • Guests RSVP with a name — no account, no password, no phone number.
  • It lands in their calendar, and changing the time updates the entry they already have rather than adding a second one.
  • You see who is coming. You never see their email address or their phone number.

Start tomorrow morning

Setting up takes about 90 seconds and there is no password to invent. Tomorrow you get a brief about your own status, not everybody’s.
