What these comparison pages are for

The comparison pages are meant to surface tradeoffs between routes, not to make the decision for you.

Compare carefully

  • cost-versus-speed tradeoffs
  • documents or thresholds that push you toward one route
  • situations where a formally available option is still a poor fit

Then confirm

  • the official filing or eligibility rule
  • which route is actually available in the relevant forum
  • what evidence or timing issue changes the decision
