View LinkedInBelow is a concise archive of valuable media content, including brand logos, colors, and shareable videos and imagery. It also provides well-defined rules and guidelines for utilizing this media. In the upcoming months, we are excited to release a pre-packaged version, accompanied by the official brand guide.
For purposes of maintaining legibility of the ® mark, SimpleCitizen logos are offered in two different sizes for usage; regular and large.
The regular option should be used in any instance when the core logo – emblem and company name – appear together as less than 3in (7.6cm) in width at any dpi, less than 216px in width at 72dpi, less than 450px in width at 150dpi, or less than 900px in width at 300dpi.
Any instance of the core logo appearing more than 3.125in (7.9cm) in width at any dpi, more than 225px in width at 72dpi, more than 468px in width at 150dpi, or more than 937px in width at 300dpi, should utilize the large option.
For sizing instances that fall between the listed ranges, discretion is allowed for designers to choose which option is best for their needs. The ® mark has been strategically sized, according to the x-height, and appended to the right-hand median for best legibility in both sizing scenarios. The anatomy of these logos – the emblem, logotype, tag-line, and/or registered trademark placement – are not to be altered without expressed, written permission by SimpleCitizen.
The following colors are broken up into three categories – primary/secondary, neutral shades, and special use. The primary and secondary colors can be seen used throughout much of the marketing and interface materials; sometimes combined with one another for the use of gradients and accents. The neutral shades are often used for body text, borders, and subtle back drops. And lastly, the special use colors can mainly be seen used throughout the app and web interfaces for their specific purpose (listed below).

I am extremely happy with Simple Citizen! They have made the green card application process so much more understandable and digestible, making an overwhelming experience feel manageable. Their services are not only affordable but also offer different options to fit various needs. The transparency and organization are truly impeccable—everything is laid out clearly, and you always know what to expect.
What makes Simple Citizen even more amazing is that they go beyond just simplifying the process. They offer different types of support, which is a fantastic bonus. If your case requires additional legal consultation, they have the resources to provide it, ensuring you get the right guidance.
This isn’t just a company that makes paperwork easier—it’s a company that genuinely supports you throughout your entire case. My experience with them has been nothing but great, and I 100% recommend them to anyone going through the immigration process!
I am incredibly grateful to SimpleCitizen for their exceptional support throughout my green card application process. From the initial consultation to the final approval, their team exhibited professionalism and expertise that made a complex process much smoother.
The support I received was thorough and personalized, addressing all my concerns promptly. They kept me informed at every step, ensuring I understood each stage of the process. Their online platform was user-friendly and efficient, making document submission and communication seamless.
I highly recommend SimpleCitizen to anyone navigating the immigration process. Thank you to the entire team, especially Sierra, for your dedication and expertise!
SimpleCitizen made my immigration journey remarkably simpler and more cost-effective. Their platform is safe, reliable, and user-friendly, and there is always someone available to clarify any concerns. I especially want to acknowledge my case manager, Will, who patiently helped me correct my errors and inconsistencies, ensuring my application was perfectly compiled before submission in mid-January. My biometrics appointment was scheduled shortly after.
One feature I highly recommend is upgrading to the package that includes printing, compiling, and shipping the entire application right to your doorstep. Not only does it save you from exhausting your poor printer or pocket at Staples...(and potentially a small forest!), but it also guarantees professional-quality documents. They packaged everything perfectly, with clear instructions on what to do next, so nothing was overlooked or missing.
By handling the paperwork and guiding me through each step, SimpleCitizen saved me a significant amount of money in lawyer fees. Their professionalism, efficiency, and reasonable pricing made an otherwise daunting process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend SimpleCitizen to anyone seeking a straightforward, secure, and supportive way to manage their immigration paperwork.
UPDATE... 2/25/25 - I got my Work Authorization and SS Card in the Mail.
I used SimpleCitizen for my family-based green card application. The entire process was seamless, and I couldn't be happier with the support I received. The online portal was easy to navigate, and it helped me gather all the materials and stay organized. My case manager, Hanbee, was TRULY the best. She was so supportive throughout this stressful process. Always ready to answer my questions and worked so hard to help me finalize my (almost 500-page) application quickly. Thanks to her guidance, I felt confident that my application was as strong as possible. I would absolutely use SimpleCitizen again for future immigration needs and highly recommend them to anyone!
My case manager, Wil, and the partner attorney Marko were both highly professional and considerate. They helped me organize a large number of highly complex documents and arranged them with precision and order. During the preparation phase, I had many questions and concerns, but Wil’s expertise and quick responses reassured me. Knowing there was always someone I could reach out to who would be there to support me made me feel incredibly secure. My experience with SimpleCitizen rivaled that of working with professional immigration law firms I’ve collaborated with in the past — and in many ways, SimpleCitizen outshines them in terms of timeliness and reliability, thanks to Wil’s exceptional efforts.
If you’re still considering whether to use SimpleCitizen, my advice is not to hesitate. I believe most case managers at SimpleCitizen are as professional and dependable as Wil. Having such a dedicated team handle my immigration application has given me great peace of mind.
Excelente, muy buena atención responden cada que uno necesita una información, te piden lo necesario para que tu caso sea exitoso. La verdad que quede muy contenta con todo mi proceso gracias a ellos.
Excellent, very good service, they respond every time you need information, they ask you what is necessary for your case to be successful. The truth is that I was very happy with my entire process thanks to them.
Absolutely amazing experience! SimpleCitizen made everything so much easier for me, and I couldn’t be more grateful. A friend recommended their service, and now I can confidently say they were right!
A special thanks to my case manager, Lindsay, who was always kind, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She answered all my questions with care and made this journey smooth and stress-free.
Thank you, SimpleCitizen, for your outstanding support—you truly are the best! I highly recommend this service to anyone in need of immigration assistance!
SimpleCitizen is a COMPLETE lifesaver. The weight I felt at the possibility of having to navigate this on my own was completely lifted, and I felt supported every step of the way as I completed my immigration applications. So grateful.

I want to express a profound appreciation to this team. They simplify the process of AOS, they respond to questions timely, and send your package neat and tidy. I recommend them, especially if you need some help as a form of assurance your forms are filled right, and you can't afford the services of a professional lawyer. Thank you Jesus, thank you Hanbee, thank you Sierra, thank you Simplectizen.
I enjoyed working with my case manager Hanbee at SimpleCitizen. She was very responsive and quick turnaround times on documentation reviews. She went above and beyond to help me navigate through the process. Thank you!
Such an amazing services from everyone here! They were so helpful with every single question! I got my packet perfectly organized ! I really recommend 100/10
