Authors

Two names show up on this site. Here is what each of them actually does.

Priya Raman

Priya Raman

Contributing Writer, Policy & Regulation, Encore Editorial

Priya writes the naturalization guides on ImmigrationCalc: the timeline breakdowns, the physical presence and continuous residence explainers, the N-400 walkthrough. She covers tax, regulation, and compliance across the Encore network, the rules that quietly determine what you can and cannot do, and reads Federal Register notices by choice.

Her articles here stick close to what USCIS actually publishes rather than general immigration commentary, and every guide notes where the line between "general rule" and "your specific case" falls.

Chris Terry

Chris Terry

Founder & Site Owner

Chris built the six calculators on this site, from the USCIS fee lookup to the physical presence day-counter, and sets the constants they run on: filing fees, statutory wait periods, and processing-time ranges pulled from published USCIS data. He rechecks those figures against uscis.gov on a regular schedule and reads the contact form personally when a reader flags something that looks off.

He does not write bylined guide articles here. His name appears on the editorial standards page and on the site's ownership and correction records instead.

Reaching either one

One inbox covers everything: fee corrections, calculator questions, and general feedback all go through the contact form. Chris reads every message. Anything tied to a specific guide gets routed to Priya if she is the one who wrote it.
