What do the dates mean?
Each milestone shows a projected window, not a fixed date, because real-world timing depends on how quickly documents are ready and how long government processing takes. The planner is built from the same realistic ranges we use with clients — so you can plan around school years, business cycles, or travel, without being sold an unrealistic “citizenship in weeks” promise.
