Pulse AI Hackathon (12.21.25)

Problem The U.S. immigration and citizenship process is brutally complex, opaque, and expensive. Millions of people—students, founders, workers, families—are forced to navigate:

Fragmented forms (USCIS, DOS, CBP… good luck)

Vague eligibility rules

Zero visibility into timelines

$5k–$20k legal fees for glorified form-filling

The system isn’t broken because it’s impossible. It’s broken because it’s unintelligible. Your Mission Build a tool that makes U.S. visas and citizenship radically more understandable, predictable, and accessible—without pretending you’re an immigration lawyer. You’re not here to replace attorneys. You’re here to replace confusion.
